Student Ministry Sunday
March 15 (Preparation Days March 1 & 8)
|
Student Ministry Sunday is coming March 15! On this special day in the life of the church, our students have several opportunities to try their hand at leadership roles in the life of the church. Students will feature in both worship services and our students will serve as teachers for many of our Adult Sunday Morning Bible Study classes!
To help our students prepare to teach the Adult Sunday Morning Bible Study Classes, we'll spend the first two weeks of March in Students Sunday Morning Bible Study preparing. We'll begin this Sunday, March 1, introducing the lesson students will teach. The next Sunday, March 8, we'll spend more time preparing, and have focused time with our teaching groups.
March 15 is the day! We'll begin all together in 2A before we spread out throughout the church during the SMBS hour to teach adult classes and serve in leadership roles in worship.
Please make every effort to be here these next two weeks during SMBS as we prepare. It can be super intimidating to teach adult classes, but we'll do everything we can the first two weeks of March to set you up for an awesome experience on March 15!
We'll be sharing a lot more information in our preparation, but if you have any questions or concerns don't hesitate to reach out to our Student Ministry Staff to ask!

Read Scripture. Memorize Scripture. Be Community.

"Why the Student Growth Group Model?".
We hope you'll choose to join us for meetings in March.

March 18 - 1 Corinthians 10 | 1 Corinthians 13:9
March 25 - NO GROWTH GROUPS (Spring Break)

|
Sundays, 6:00-7:30 pm| Student Ministry Area (2A)
The Brook is our weekly worship gathering for students. It is a relaxed, fun atmosphere for worship, teaching, and fellowship aimed to meet students where they are. It is a great "front door" to invite your friends to experience what MBBC Students is all about.
This month we'll have The Brook March 1, 8, & 29.
We don't have The Brook March 15 (Party in the Park) or March 22 (Spring Break).

I've mentioned D365 to you before, and as the name implies, it offers devotions every day of the year. However, as we begin our Lenten Journey toward Easter, I want to commend it to you again. Lent is a season for renewed devotion, and you might find their "Pause. Listen. Think. Pray. Go." devotions tied to the season of Lent particular meaningful as you focus on your devotional life throughout these 40 days leading up to Easter. The devotions are particularly aimed toward students, but might be a useful tool for people of all ages. They're conveniently available online at
d365.org or in the
d365 app. If you're looking for a convenient, easy-to-access tool to aid your devotional life during Lent (or anytime) I'd encourage you to check it out!
