The Fall Fest was a beautiful time of community, fun, and worship!

Students want to belong, they want to find meaning and purpose in life, and I believe the Church is the best place for them to do so. Don’t get me wrong, the community at 4:12 is not perfect by any means, it’s filled with imperfect human beings who still sin, but we make an effort to invite God into the midst, and challenge each other to grow in faith and as a person, we challenge students to be the change they want to see in the world, and own their faith. Please, keep praying for 4:12 and keep supporting the youth in our Church Community I believe God is at work in all of us. Excited for what is to come.

What are we talking about in this new Series?

In the work of building his kingdom, God does the heavy lifting—we trust, obey, and ask for his help. Prayer moves God’s heart and changes ours.

DISCUSSION Questions!

Conversation is the glue that makes connection happen. Deep down inside we all want to know and be known by others, and talking is absolutely crucial to healthy relationships.

So, in a world where emojis and texts have replaced real words and expressions, how can we connect through conversations in our homes? 

In this Communication Kit, you will find a number of tools and resources to better help you engage with your family. You will find a brief purpose and summary of the resource and tips to use it.
