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

10/27/21 7th/8th gr. Axis Guide Sheet: Creation disrupted

  7 th /8 th gr. Axis Guide Sheet: Creation disrupted                                                                10/27/21 Hi Guides & families! This section will cover the events found in Genesis 3-9. It also addresses how free will & sin come into play according to our faith tradition. This will bring up lots of questions! Questions about human behavior & consequences, God’s behavior, and the nature of right & wrong. It is ok to not have answers to all of these questions, sit with them, wrestle with them.   Most importantly, wonder, in light of what we can learn from these stories how are we called to live and act today?     Small Gr...

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.

Let's Try Again!

 As we move into the new normal of ever changing circumstances, we will try to better utilize our blog as a resource that doesn't require social media as well as being able to archive relevant resources.  For the time being, make sure you are always up to speed with the latest happenings by:  - Worshiping with us. Sundays at 9:30am in-person or online at live.princeofpeacechurch.org - Receiving & reading weekly age group emails (email brenth@princeofpeacechurch.org if you aren't!) - High school youth should receive our weekly text (again, contact Brent if needed). -  Checking the website (being updated at the moment) www.princeofpeacechurch.org &/or princeofpeacechurch.org/grow-deep/youth/ (can click to specific age groups there).  Even in the midst of changing covid protocols we were fortunate to have some amazing summer experiences & are excited for what's to come this fall. Pictured below: High school faith adventure trip in Colorado & Young A...
