MEANT TO BE: A 4-WEEK SERIES ON THE BIBLE
WEEK 2 BIG IDEA: THE BIBLE IS A GUIDE

SERIES OVERVIEW:
The Bible. We all know reading it is important (or at least that's what we've been told), but if we're being honest, we probably don't give it the time or attention we know we should. Sometimes we avoid Scripture because it seems boring or irrelevant. Other times we avoid it because it's too time-consuming, inconvenient, or maybe even convicting. So how do we change that? In this 4-week series, you’ll encourage students to both see and engage with the Bible in a new way as you help them discover that the Bible is a love letter, a guide, an invitation, and something that's meant to be lived (not just read).

One of our greatest privileges as youth workers is to walk alonside teenagers during difficult times. But here's one major thing that will help them overcome the obstacles they encounter: their community. That includes you! Check out this TED Talk for some details on the research that's being done in this area. It's so important!
At least once this month, choose a volunteer to celebrate. Add their picture and a few sentences about what makes them awesome!
