MBBC Student Ministry Family,
I hope you each had a fantastic and meaningful Christmas season! With the holidays behind us and much of life returning to regular rhythms (at least as regular as anything is these days!), I was looking forward to Student Ministry programming ramping back up, but you've likely heard Mountain Brook Baptist Church is transitioning to online ministry and suspending in-person gatherings at least through the end of January.
While this is a HUGE bummer as we start the new year, I also know it is important that we are flexible and responsible during these days.
With this transition to online ministry, we won't be having Student Growth Groups, SMBS, or The Brook during January, BUT this is only a temporary suspension. Even now, we're dreaming and hoping of a spring and summer of ministry together, and I can hardly wait for the opportunity for us to be back together again.
Until that good day, this month's email will remind you of ways you can keep investing in your faith and stay connected to your church family, even while we're apart, including a new weekly check in & hang out via Zoom.
We will get through this, and I know God is at work, even now in the midst of this whole situation.
Your Student Ministry staff and adult leaders love you, and we are here for you and your family in whatever ways we can be, even while we're apart.
Thank you for your flexibility, understanding, and faithfulness through this most unexpected season! Let us continue to pray for and encourage one another. Take care of yourselves, and if you can, someone else, too!
In Christ,
Ben
