Alongside Teenagers

Adolescence in the 21st century is no joke. Teenagers are trying to figure out who they are, where they belong and if they matter. They face new realities of loneliness and isolation, despite their social media followers. And they want to be chased. This class will discuss Alongside, a very practical book to help connect the life of Jesus with adolescents. It is beautifully written and at times poetic, despite its focus on useful tools and real-world stories. Winner of the 2019 Christian Book Award for best Ministry Resource, Alongside: Loving Teenagers with the Gospel will inspire all who have a heart for walking alongside teens.

Who is this for: Parents, grandparents, or anyone interested in

    the lives of adolescents

Teachers: Mark Reger and Greg Reger (brothers with lots of

    training and experience in working with youth, plus they’re

    parents of adolescents!)

Format: This will be a Zoom class

When: Class will meet on Wednesday’s from 6:00-7:00pm

Great Bible Themes with the Bible Project

A number of years ago Aaron (our son) asked if I had ever heard of the Portland based organization called ‘The Bible Project.’ I hadn’t, but I know them now! They are an artistic and creative group dedicated to making the Bible understandable and alive for many of us for whom the Bible is a big mystery. You can check all their stuff out at www.bibleproject.com. 


I am going to use some of their theme and word study videos (each about 10 minutes long) and then turn that into a fuller Bible study. You’ll be exposed to interesting and creative ways of exploring the Bible. 

    

I’m offering this in a number of formats:

Tuesday Evening Zoom Group: Starting on October 13 and running for 7 weeks      (through November 24). This group will meet from 7:00 – 8:15 pm.

Live Small Groups: Depending on sign-ups I’ll have 1-2 groups. For certain one group

will meet on Thursday’s from 11:00 – 12:15, starting on October 15 and running for 6

weeks (through November 19). If there’s a need I’ll find another time, possibly for an

evening group.
