Midweek: D-Teams and Small Groups
Wednesdays | 6:30-8:00pm | Fellowship Hall
Midweek programs are all about connection. We take the first 30 minutes for high energy action – then split time between some bottom-line teaching and connecting in smaller groups. Our aim is to love others and help connect you to friends, leaders, and ultimately – God.
February series: GUARDRAILS
Guardrails are “a system designed to keep something on the right path and keep it from straying into dangerous or off-limit areas.” Just like the guardrails we see on the roads we drive every day, guardrails in our life help to both protect us from big accidents and direct us down the right road.
- Session 1: Shift (February 1)
Where do you put personal “guardrails” up in order to stay in the wise side of a potentially dangerous situation? - Session 2: Swerve (February 8)
Guardrail: Friendships. Our friends have the power to influence our decisions, our actions and even the quality of our lives. - Session 3: Accelerate (February 15)
Guardrail: You Pick! (TBA) There’s a time and a place for everything, and we’ll let students pick the topic and the guardrail to discuss tonight. - Session 4: Brake (February 22)
Guardrail: Sexuality. We are bombarded with conflicting messages on sex. It’s crucial we think – and act – carefully here with God’s truth and grace in our hearts and minds.
[A word to parents: contact us the week before to get an outline of what we’ll talk about!] - Session 5: Steer (February 29)
Establishing guardrails is something we have to make a decision to do. No one can – or is – going to do it for you. - Session 6: the GUARDRAILS eXPerience – a PARENT+STUDENT Night (March 7)
Please make plans to join us Wednesday, March 7 for a joint program for both parents and students –6:30-8pm at New Hope. We’ll pile for some great games, Q&A with a panel on major sources of parent/student conflict, and come together on how we can set the best course toward living God’s wise way for us. Details to come: spread the word and invite some friends!
Parents and Leaders can download the Parent Cue: a monthly resource that gives an overview of the current series plus follow-up questions to use at home with your students!
Awesome Opportunities
Let’s Do Coffee.
YOU are invited … One of our basic convictions at New Hope is that God designed the church and the family to partner together to share the joy and the work of telling God’s story to the next generation. That means that this fall I’m going to meet up with one family each week to simply get to know you and your family better and get your feedback on how we can better love and serve families of all shapes and sizes. Could I swing by your house some night or meet you as parent(s) out for lunch or for coffee? Email Andy or give me a call at 239.691.8653.
New Hope CREW
We’re starting a team of parents, students, or any other volunteers who like serving and want to be involved … but on a 1x/month kind of time frame and not really their own kids. Could you come 1x/month to help with snacks, set up, and take down for one of our 3 big programs? We’re building a Midweek crew (Wednesdays 5:30-8:30), a SoulStation crew (Sundays 8:30-11am). You can even sign up right here:
