discipleship week

august 21st - 25th 9:30am - 12:00pm
This week is intended to focus on discipleship and the spiritual growth of each youth that attends. A study of the Greatest Commandment will serve as the foundation for a life wholly devoted to Jesus who is both LORD and Savior. Careful attention will be devoted to what the greatest commandment requires of the believer, true obedience depends on one’s love for God, if one loves Him, he/she will obey His commands. The spiritual formation will be essential; the focus will be placed on prayer as an essential spiritual discipline to keep one’s relationship to Christ central. The intent is that at the end of the course the student will understand the marks of a Christian, loving the Lord and living a life that is completely devoted and surrendered to Him. By loving God, they will love their neighbors as a result, leading by example and inviting others to embark on a spiritual pilgrimage to God.

i am praying that each of you will treat this seriously, faithfully attending each class, opportunities to serve and completing the homework activities each day.
