News and Updates for The Cove Student Ministry

Hey Students and Parents,

What an incredible week we have had at The Cove!  I have been saying for a year that God is moving through our student ministry and it is clearly evident! 

We have some exciting stuff happening in the next couple of months.

We begin our next IDK in three weeks!  This is a series all about questions people have about the Bible, life, and in general!  We are going to use the Bible as the answering point because the Bible is the standard and we will not go below it for answers!  If your student has a question they can facebook it to me(J-Bird) or send it to me in an email at jhollis@swisscovechristian.com . 

Across the world hundreds of thousands of Christians are suffering for their faith in Jesus Christ as the Messiah.  If you were to ask any of those Christians what we can do for them as a church they would say please PRAY for us!  So on Sunday November 13th we are partnering with thousands of other believers and praying our persecuted Brothers and Sisters in Christ.  It is the official International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church!  We will be holding it in the Barn.  More info will be out soon on it!

For our last announcement we will be holding a Karaoke and Costume Party at the Barn on October 31st!  It will run from 6:30PM to 8:30PM!!! There will be treats, music, pumpkins, corn hole, and other cool stuff to do!!!

We had over 48 students attend The Way last night!

This week our focus was on Boundaries.  We asked all of our high school students to take a survey on the topic of sex.  We received about 35 surveys back.  The number one question our students had was how far is to far!

This is a HUGE question to have to answer and as we stated to the students we are only going by what God's Word has to say about it.  Because God's Word is the ultimate Truth.

We looked at Matthew 5:27-30....By reading this passage we see how far we should go.  When we start lusting, that is a boundary for us.  If we start to lust when we hold someone's hand, then we know we should not even hold someone's hand. 

Our small group leaders delved deeper into this topic with your student.

I am excited about the next few months in our Student Ministry!  God is really moving through them and I see the Kingdom of God expanding tremendously in the next year!
