Sunday morning youth programs have returned to almost normal at Glen Mar. Youth gather in the Youth Lounge starting around 9:15 for social time and a variety of group games. Fun activities include round-the-table ping pong, life-size battleship, and 9 Square in the Air. The youth then split up into Rooted for high school students, Confirmation Class for 8th graders, and Fuse for 6th and 7th graders. The high school youth continue with more interactive fun, including “The Impossible Shot” before diving into their study of the Sermon on the Mount. Fuse group participants have been spending a lot of time getting to know each other better as they explore how the Old Testament applies to middle school life. The Confirmation Class brings in a new teacher each week as class members deepen their faith through questions, activities, and quirky videos.

The Messenger 2021-11-01

November 21, 2021
Short-Term Bible Study
This Advent, we will be studying “Light of the World: A Beginner’s Guide to Advent,” by Amy Jill Levine.  It is a 4-session study where we dive deep into the history of the birth of Christ, tracing the Christmas narrative through the stories of Zechariah and Elizabeth, Mary, the journey to Bethlehem, and the visit from the Magi.
We will be forming new groups for this study, plus encouraging existing Growth Groups and individuals to join along. There will be opportunities to participate in-person as well as via Zoom. There will be an associated sermon series too.
