God desires great things within the ministry of Forum. A vital part of this is our ministry to children and youth. As a church we strive to spiritually invest in our kids. Next week we will kick off “The Journey,” an interactive learning experience for our kids that happens Sunday through Thursday nights from 6:15 – 8:30. Parents, make it a priority for your kids.
I recently read an article by Jon Weece in the Christian Standard. Jon grew up at Forum and now is the preaching minister at Southland Christian Church in Lexington, KY. He wrote these words:
In the second grade our Sunday school teacher, Miss Helen, challenged our class to memorize Hebrews 11, and we did. She bought each of us a big bag of M&M’s! In the fourth grade I went to church camp and my dorm dad, a preacher named Glen Mitchell, challenged our cabin to memorize 1 Corinthians 13, and we did. He bought each of us a Coke! In middle school, our youth minister, Mark Sutherlin, challenged us to memorize the Sermon on the Mount, and we did. He took us to a water park!
In the article Jon goes on to talk about the importance that his family, his church, church camp, and his youth minister had all played in his love for memorizing God’s word.
As a church, we continue to invest in our kids, to train them up knowing the Lord, and to equip “Parents as Preachers.”
This Sunday morning we continue in “The Journey.” We will be studying out of Exodus 3 and 4 if you want to read ahead. Looking forward to another stellar day of worship and being in His word together. In keeping with the article – try memorizing Exodus 3:4.
*If you’d like to read the full article, go to FB and “like” “Christian Standard” and then you’ll see the article posted on the home page. We also make Christian Standard available in our lobbies. - Scott
