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...

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. Axis Fall/early Winter Schedule: Wednesdays 6:30-7:30pm October 6 - 6gr large group at church, 7/8gr with small groups 13 - 7/8gr large group at churc...

11/16/22 6th grade: Lord's Prayer/Prayer

6th grade Axis Guide Sheet: The Lord’s Prayer Takeaway – The words of the Lord’s Prayer empower us to approach God & the world more boldly. Communication is essential to our relationships with one another & God. Key verse – Matthew 6:9-13, Luke 11:1-4 Discussion starters: -Who is someone you do/ don't talk to a lot? What’s your relationship like? How does it feel when you do get in touch again? -Do you pray? If so, why? - Is praying challenging for you? Why/why not? -What would you bring on a trip that you didn’t know much about the place you were going? (While we don’t always know what life has in store for us, The Lord’s Prayer encompasses all aspects we go through.) See the "Unpacking the Lord's Prayer" below. -So be honest, does saying the Lord’s Prayer ever just feel like empty words to you? -Do you remember first learning it? How did it feel? What did you think about it? What do you think about it now? -Wha...
