F.A.Q.

General

What's the Deal with the new schedule?
In the past we have had a Bible study on Wednesday nights and Sundays have mainly been for choir. Now we are doing an even cooler Bible study on Sunday nights with a more varied and interesting schedule on Wednesday.

I'm not in choir, should I come?
Definitely! This is not choir related at all. Of course choir is pretty cool and I'd suggest you give it a try, but regardless you are invited to the snack supper and Bible study.

Whats the schedule?
Things start at 6:00 with a snack supper for both High School and Middle school and split up afterwards for a separate Bible studies. The time is purposefully left off because some weeks we may do a group activity or two before Bible study and other weeks we may go straight into our separate groups (and have some activities within the individual Bible study groups).

Whats the deal with 6th graders?
The youth group now consists of 6th-12th grade. This will allow us to have true Middle School group for Bible study and special activities.

Will I have to hang out with 6th graders/12th graders?
This change does mean that High Schoolers will be interacting with 6th graders more. It also means that there will be a lot more aimed at the specific age group you are in than ever before.

How will this be different from the High School Bible study?
We will be doing different games and activities which I think you will agree are a lot more fun. Also we have some special rewards and stuff that they don't. We'll have ways to get sweet rewards through 1. memorizing scripture, 2. memorizing the books of the Bible 3. showing up.
Do I have to memorize stuff? That sounds stupid!
No you don't have to. There are rewards for doing so but obviously its your choice. Besides getting rewards, memorizing this stuff actually makes a bigger difference than just a reward. It gives you tools you can use to talk about and understand life better which is pretty cool all by itself.
Will We watch the Heroes TV Show?
Our theme may use the NBC tv shows logo, but isn't based on the show. We will probably use very short clips from the show but wont be watching the whole thing. In regards to tv, movies, & video games I want to support your parents on what they think is good to watch- I know that may be different for each of you.
Will we get to act stupid?
My guess is there is no stopping that... just kidding. Yeah, we'll try to have fun and do some "goofy things."
Will it be like school?
Maybe a little. But school has got lots of cool stuff- hanging with friends, sports, one or two classes that are pretty interesting. Bible study will have a bunch of fun stuff, but will require a little thinking and paying attention which may remind you of school. Then again it may remind you of Guitar Hero which requires a lot of thinking and paying attention.
