Our Current series at 4:12

Nobody can refute what Jesus has personally done in our lives. Nobody can argue against a changed life. Everyone needs good news, and they need to hear what the good news of Jesus has done for us.

In this series, we are talking about real testimonies from real Christians and helping students think and tell their own faith stories. 

We will work with a testimony worksheet to help them think through the details of their story and how to best communicate the “before, during, and after” of their salvation in Jesus.

We will culminate this series with some students sharing their stories at the Story Slam! 

May 24^th at 6:30 pm at Marion Methodist!

Everybody is invited to hear real-life stories about what God is doing in the lives of the students at 4:12!

Our students are putting together this event for the first time and opening it to the whole congregation and the public in general.

During this event, we will have Worship and a series of Faith Stories delivered by our own 4:12 students. Make sure you join us right at 6:30 pm in the Sanctuary. 

We are finishing the school year, which means, we are starting the 4:12 Summer Program in June! This is a great opportunity to invite new friends to join and welcome incoming 5th graders.

All students are welcome to join us for a grill out and fun outdoor activities at the church’s outdoor space by the west parking lot.

Food will be served from 6-6:30 pm. 

Support the Youth Ministry by being a chaperone on a Wednesday Night of Summer 4:12.

As you might already know, the 4:12 School Year Program came to an end this past Wednesday. But we are kicking off our Summer Program on June 7th. (No 4:12 on May 31st)

For the summer we are asking parents and adults from the congregation to help chaperone the summer events to be able to give our 4:12 regular leaders a break while being able to keep running events. 

If you are willing to help one or a couple of Wednesday evenings this summer, please sign up at the following link as a chaperone: Volunteer Link

There’s still time to sign up for the best week of your child’s summer! Only $79 for a week of camp? Unbelievable! Don’t forget to use the Code: MARION2023 for the massive discount!

Youth Groups from Cedar Rapids Metro Area are designating the first full week of June as “Week of Service” to encourage students to serve their communities.

As this is the same week, we are kicking off Feeding Lunches to Youth, we want to encourage students to serve at FLY that week. We still have many spots available for volunteers on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday.

If you are looking for books to read this Summer, here are a few options to help and encourage you as a teen parent!
