 STUDENT FAMILIES SUNDAY INFORMATION
|
Sunday Bible School Study
Sunday, January 6
Pastor Brian Peterson will be away this day, so guest speaker Dwayne Cogdill will continue our study of "Hebrews: The Supremacy & Sufficiency of Jesus Christ."
God is not silent, but has spoken to us in His Son, and now He speaks to us in His Word. In the book of Hebrews, that's how Jesus is presented: the final and glorious Word of God, the Logos. In Him, God has shown Himself to be faithful and entirely sufficient for our life, salvation and godliness. Jesus is the long-promised Messiah and has fulfilled all that God has said. Join us as we discover His supremacy and sufficiency.

Ask the Pastor
Friday, January 11 | 7-9 PM
Men and women of Student Families: Please join us for a fun night of fellowship at the Peterson home on the evening of January 11. Come prepared to enjoy each others' company and have your questions ready on an index card or paper. We will put all questions in a basket and Pastor Brian will answer as many questions as time will allow. This is a wonderful opportunity to get to know him better and gives him the opportunity to learn more about our thoughts and concerns.
Topics of questions can include (but are not limited to) theological, biblical, historical, Christ Covenant Church specific questions, personal, and philosophy of ministry.
More information will be coming, but you won't want to miss this so SAVE the date!

Q.U.I.P. Meeting
Sunday, January 6 | 5 PM
The
Quarterly Useful Information for Parents
meeting (QUIP) is for parents of middle school students. The purpose of these meetings is to structure consistent opportunities to come alongside you and engage in purposeful conversations about your students, the challenges of the culture they are growing up in, and the middle school ministry.
Every meeting will consist of the following structure:
- Ministry Update and Vision Casting
- Resource Recommendations
- Middle Schooler's Needs
- Prayer
The first QUIP meeting will be held Sunday, January 6, from 5-5:50 in the CLC youth space. (This is during Timothy Project so your middle school students will have a place to be while we conduct the meeting.) We will share a meal together and then move into the meeting.
