Welcome to Axis

 Hello all Axis families!


Fall Calendar

FORMAT for In-Person 
  • Large Groups will be in the CLC. Again for 6th graders, at least one parent/caring adult must attend with them. 
  • We will be masked and spaced apart.
  • Small groups (7th & 8th grade) will meet at outdoor spaces around the building. Masks are not required outdoors but some space is still encouraged.
  • If families volunteer & others approve, meeting at homes is allowed as well. 
  • We ask that if you are planning to participate in Axis we ask that you contribute $25/child to help cover costs of content/supplies/materials.
  • We are planning to video large group sessions so those that need have the ability to follow along if unable/prefer not to meet in person. We totally understand everyone has different comfort levels & abilities even still.

In person, outside (weather permitting) gatherings by grade group (6th graders+a parent caring adult as a group & 7th/8th grade as a group). These will be at Prince of Peace, 6:30-7:30pm. Large group will be held in the CLC masked & distanced. Small groups will meet outside  around the campus. 
Masks will be required, indoors. 


When it is not your large group week at church, 7th/8th grade small groups will meet at their designated outdoor spot at church. 6th graders will have a household faith practice to do at home.


The 2 biggest things you can do outside of Axis are worship together as a family and connect with any of our serving opportunities as they are highlighted (i.e. donation drives for Avenues, CEAP opportunities, and just good ol' caring for your neighbor!). 

It is my goal and hope that Axis will be the kind of community and invitation that you and you family want to prioritize. It is not another assignment to complete, box to check, or obligation to fulfill. It is instead a time to be real, a time to really share how you're doing, and a time to receive God's promise, the Good News, together in community with one another. 

Please feel free to reach out with any questions or conversation you want to have! 

Grace and peace in Christ,
Brent

Apps

YouVersion  - It's on my phone. There's a daily verse, loads of reading plans, & of course the entire Bible in a variety of translations. Bonus, you can also create Bible verse images! d365  - A devotion every day, 365 days a year. Broken into 5 easy parts. Echo  - Forget to pray? There's an app for that too. Echo is clean & simple. From their website, "Echo's number one goal is to help people pray. Whether it be to simply keep track of prayer requests, give space to engage with God, or simply help remind people to pray... Echo is a tool to help Christ-followers engage with God." Insight Timer  - Meditation, or mindfulness, is a practice popular around the world. The benefits are far beyond spiritual. Clear your mind, relieve stress, you name it. Personally, I just like to sit in God's presence & be still.

12/7 7th/8th grade: Paul & the early church

  7 th +8 th  grade Guide Sheet: Paul & the early church________________________12/7/22 Takeaway –  God’s conversion of Paul, & Paul’s writings & ministry, are powerful influences of our understanding of God’s grace & just how powerful the Gospel is.   Key verse –  Acts 9:15 Discussion starters: - Do you believe that people can change?   -When have you seen, or even experienced yourself, a transformation (of a person, place, etc.)?   -What does it take for you to change your opinion about something? (i.e. personal experience, another person’s story, etc.)   -How does your relationship with God/Jesus (whatever it is like right now) factor into your life? (i.e. do you consider your values in decision making, things you are involved in, etc.)   -Why is it so easy for us to get worked up about something that doesn’t really matter? What  is  worth arguing about? How do arguments affect our rel...

11/17/21 7th & 8th gr. Judges

  7 th /8 th gr. Axis Guide Sheet: Judges – I don’t know what Judges are at all.                            11/17/21 Hi Guides & families!   Here is this week's content.  Activity ideas are on the back. Remember Highs & Lows & prayers!   v   LargeGroup (6:30) -           Topic intro o    Judges – Despite all that God had done for His people including giving them commandments to live by, they continually strayed & did wrong (sound like anyone you know?). So God began raising up leaders to help them sort out problems & make wise decisions. Some judges were good at pointing people back to right ways of living & some were, well, not so good. o    Think about this: If you could ask only one person for advice in life, who would it be & ...
