Stillnaz Youth Update 4/15/24

Stillmeadow Families,

Tomorrow night we are continuing our sex series!  We are talking about God's design for sex and the boundaries He gave us.  We have spent a lot of time reminding the students that God created sex to be good but just like purchasing a chainsaw, we would consult the owner's manual to be sure we didn't destroy ourselves or someone else, God is calling us to ask Him how he created the owner's manual for sex.  There has been good conversation and questions.  At the end of the series, we will have a leader panel where leaders will answer questions from the youth about the topic.  Jesus wants to be a part of every crevice of our life, including dating and sex.  I am continuing to pray that as we elevate Jesus together that our teens would be radically transformed through His power.

As we focus on elevating Jesus, I am looking for prayer partners.  Would you join me in praying for our teens and the neighborhoods around our church?  If you will join me in prayer, email me at tmartin@stillnaz.com

In the coming months, I would love to walk the neighborhoods around Stillmeadow together praying for the people there and will send out available times!

Exciting news!  We have a Stillnaz Swag store open and there are a lot of youth ministry options!  Check it out for your family and/or teen!
