Welcome to The Attic....if you're a parent of a student at FBCG then you are probably already familiar with the name. The Attic. It's the name we have given the 3rd floor of our church building. The Attic. It's where your kids and our students spend their time on Sunday mornings and Wednesday nights....but I wonder how many of you really know what goes on in The Attic. I've heard rumors that sometimes middle school and high school students don't relay information to their parents...can you believe that? Surely not our students! Well things are about to change around here....
This is a new site built for YOU the parents.....not your kids....YOU! This blog is going to be where we connect what we do with your students in The Attic on Sundays and Wednesdays with what you are doing with your kids at home. It's going to serve as a bridge, so to speak, between the world of "church" and the world of "family" This is going to be a place where you, the parent, can come and find info about upcoming trips and events, parent training sessions and get togethers, and most importantly what we are talking about and teaching with your students.
This Wednesday night we will be announcing some exciting changes to our students in The Attic that we also wanted to share with you, the parents! Starting August 10th we will be welcoming our 6th grade students upstairs to our Student Ministry. We also will be kicking off our brand new Middle School Ministry. What this means for you is that on Wednesday nights and Sunday mornings, we will be providing time for all of our students grades 6-12 time to fellowship and have fun together, but to also have age-specific Bible study as well.
On Wednesday nights, after a combined time of worship, videos, games, etc... we will be splitting the students up for Bible study....our 6,7 and 8 graders will split off for a time of Bible study as will our 9-12 graders and we'll follow this up with another exciting new element of our student ministry: small groups! We have assembled a team of small group leaders who will be spending a lot of time with our students over the next 12 months. We have assembled a middle school team and a high school team!
That's a lot of change...but that's not even the best part. We are going to start getting YOU, the parent more involved in what we are doing. We'll be updating this blog weekly with information about what your student is learning, ways you can continue the conversation at home, opportunities to serve together, and about opportunities for you to come and hang out with other parents and talk, learn, laugh and grow together! We're super pumped about where our student ministry is headed, but we need you guys to walk with us on this journey!
Tomorrow, we'll be sharing with you what your kids will be talking about over the next 4 weeks on Wednesday nights. Our student ministry team is beyond excited about kicking off this new season within our student ministry! Hopefully, you'll come back tomorrow, ready to invest in the spiritual lives of your students, and to partner with our student ministry team! And don't be afraid to follow this blog....it'll let us know you're listening and paying attention!
