3 Minute Read

We've got a great couple of weeks coming up at PSC Student Ministry! This Wednesday, we're heading out into the community, eating tacos, and continuing our Foundations series. Plus, next week is our Pumpkin Party!

This Wednesday, October 21 – Let's Get SENT!

This week, we're putting our faith into action!

We're heading out into the neighborhood to invite kids and teens to our upcoming fall parties!

We've been talking about what it means to follow Jesus, and this is an opportunity to actually live it out. Being SENT means looking for ways to share God's love with the people around us.

A few things to remember:

  • Wear comfortable shoes! We'll be doing some walking.
  • Dress for the weather. We'll be outside for part of the evening.
  • Come ready to meet people and invite them to join us!

You don't have to have all the answers or know exactly what to say. Just be friendly, be yourself, and help others feel welcome!

What's for Dinner?

TACOS!

After we're done inviting people, we'll head back to the Youth House for tacos and our Bible lesson.

Foundations – What Went Wrong?

Have you ever wondered why the world is so messed up?

This Wednesday, we're diving into Genesis 3, where we'll discover what happened when Adam and Eve chose to disobey God.

We'll talk about sin, temptation, and how our choices affect our relationship with God.

But here's something important: Even when humanity messed up, God wasn't finished with His plan!

Come ready to explore what Genesis 3 teaches us about ourselves and why we need Jesus.

NEXT WEEK – PUMPKIN PARTY!

Wednesday, October 28

Get ready for one of our favorite nights of the fall!

We're having our annual Pumpkin Party, and you won't want to miss it!

Here's what's happening:

  • Pumpkin Food! We're eating all kinds of pumpkin-themed treats.
  • Pumpkin Carving! Get creative and carve a pumpkin.
  • Pumpkin Games! Be ready for some fun and competition.
  • Costumes! You're welcome to dress up! Just make sure your costume is youth group appropriate.

BRING A FRIEND!

The Pumpkin Party is a perfect night to invite someone who doesn't normally come to youth group.

Think about someone at school, in your neighborhood, or on your team who might enjoy hanging out with us.

Your invitation might be exactly what someone needs to feel welcomed and connected.

Your Challenge This Week – Who Will You Invite?

Here's your challenge:

Think of ONE person you could invite to the Pumpkin Party.

It could be someone you've known for years or someone you've just met.

Then do three things:

  1. Pray for them. Ask God to give you an opportunity to invite them.
  2. Invite them. Don't overthink it! Just ask if they'd like to come.
  3. Make them feel welcome. If they come, help them feel like they belong.

Remember, being SENT isn't just something we talk about on Wednesday nights. It's something we live out every day!

Let's Be Praying!

This week, take some time to pray for:

  • Courage: That God would help us step outside our comfort zones and reach out to others.
  • Our Community: That the people we meet Wednesday will feel welcomed and loved.
  • Our Friends: That God would give us opportunities to invite friends to the Pumpkin Party.
  • Our Faith: That we would grow in our understanding of God and learn to trust Him with our choices.

See You Wednesday!

Come ready to walk, invite, eat tacos, and learn more about God!

And don't forget to start thinking about your Pumpkin Party costume!

You are SENT!

Praise God. Serve Others. Cultivate Disciples.

Student Update- September 21
Wednesday is coming! This week we’re continuing Foundations and learning another tool that can help you understand the Bible when you read it for yourself. And yes…there will be pancakes. 🥞 Eat • 🎲 Play • 📖 Grow ⏰ Wednesday | 6:00–8:00 PM 📍 Youth House Here’s the plan: 🥞 EAT — Pancakes & Sausage! 🎲 PLAY — We’ll have some fun together and plenty of time to hang out and connect. 📖 GROW — We’re talking about the different kinds of writing found in the Bible and why they matter. Bring your Bible! 📖 This Week: Why Does Genre Matter? The Bible is one big Story, but it contains many different kinds of writing. There’s history. Poetry. Prophecy. Wisdom. Letters. And more. Think about it: you don’t read a poem the same way you read a history book. You don’t read a letter the same way you read a proverb. The same is true when you read the Bible. This Wednesday, we’ll learn how recognizing the genre of a passage can help you better understand what you’re reading and what God is communicating through His Word. The goal isn’t just to learn a bunch of Bible terms. We want to give you tools that help you read and understand the Bible for yourself. 🔥 This Week’s Challenge Want to see the difference genre makes? Read these two passages: 📖 Psalm 23 📖 Mark 4:35–41 Then think about: What is different about the way these passages are written? What does each passage teach you about God? Why might it matter that one is poetry and the other tells us about an event in Jesus’ life? You don’t need perfect answers. Just pay attention to what you notice. Come Wednesday ready to talk about it! 🙏 Prayer Challenge This week, ask God to: Give you a desire to spend time in His Word. Help you understand what you’re reading. Use His Word to shape the way you think and live. And remember, if there’s something going on in your life that you’d like us to pray about, we want to pray for you. 📱 Text your prayer request to +1 (844) 790-9381. 🌧️ Giant Banana Split Update We know some of you have been waiting for the giant banana split! Because of the rainy weather, we’re not doing it this Wednesday. But don’t worry—we’re saving it for another night when the weather cooperates. 🎃 Pumpkin Party Is Coming! The last Wednesday of October is our Pumpkin Party! We’re planning: 🎃 Pumpkin carving 🍽️ Pumpkin-themed food 🎲 Pumpkin games You can also wear a costume as long as it’s appropriate for youth group. And this is a great night to invite a friend! We’ll have more details as we get closer. 🏀🎵 We Want to Show Up! Playing a sport? Have a concert, performance, play, competition, or another event coming up? Let Michael know! Send Michael your schedule, a screenshot, or just the date and time of your next event. When we can, we want to show up and cheer you on! 📱 Stay in the Loop Want to make sure you don’t miss what’s happening in Student Ministry? 📱 Text STUDENTS to +1 (844) 790-9381 to get Student Ministry updates sent straight to your phone. 📧 You can also subscribe at the bottom of this update to be notified by email when new Student Ministry updates are posted. 👋 See You Wednesday! 6:00–8:00 PM at the Youth House Bring your Bible.

Student Update Week of September 14
This Week in Student Ministry — Student Edition We had a great time at Uprise Fest this weekend! Thanks to everyone who came and spent the weekend with us. It was a lot of fun worshiping together, listening to some great music, and having extra time to hang out. Now it’s a new week, and Wednesday night is coming! We’re continuing our Foundations series with a really practical question: How do you actually read the Bible and let it shape your life? 🌮 Eat • 🎲 Play • 📖 Grow ⏰ Wednesday | 6:00–8:00 PM 📍 Youth House Here’s the plan: 🧀 EAT — Grilled Cheese & Tater Tots! We didn’t get our grilled cheese last week, so we’re trying again. 🎲 PLAY — We’ll have some fun together and plenty of time to hang out and connect. 📖 GROW — We’re continuing our Foundations series and learning how to read Scripture for ourselves. Bring your Bible! 📖 This Week: How Do We Let the Bible Shape Us? We’ve spent the last couple of weeks talking about why we can trust the Bible and what we believe about Scripture. We learned from 2 Timothy 3:16–17 that Scripture is God-breathed and is meant to teach, reprove, correct, and train us. But how does that actually happen? This Wednesday, we’re going to give you a simple tool you can use anytime you open your Bible. When you read Scripture, ask these four questions: What does this Scripture say about God and His character? What does this Scripture say that God does? What does this Scripture say about who we are? In light of this Scripture, how do I get to live? You don’t need to be a Bible expert to read and understand God’s Word. These questions can help you slow down, pay attention to what Scripture says, and think about how it shapes your life. 🔥 This Week’s Challenge Don’t wait until Wednesday to try the four questions. Read Titus 3:1–7 and ask the Four Questions above. Write down your answers or just think through them. Pay special attention to the words “But when…” in verse 4. What changes in the passage, and why? You don’t need to come up with the “perfect” answers. Slow down, pay attention to what the passage actually says, and come ready to talk about what you discovered Wednesday. 🙏 Prayer Challenge This week, ask God to: Give you a desire to spend time in His Word. Help you understand what you read. Show you how His Word should shape the way you live. Help time in Scripture become a regular habit in your life. And remember, if there’s something going on in your life that you’d like us to pray about, we want to pray for you. 📱 Text your prayer request to +1 (844) 790-9381. 🏀🎵 We Want to Show Up! Playing a sport? Have a concert, performance, play, competition, or another event coming up? Let Michael know! We want to know what you’re involved in and, when we can, come out and support you. Send Michael your schedule, a screenshot, or just the date and time of your next event. We want to show up and cheer you on! 📱 Stay in the Loop Want to make sure you don’t miss what’s happening in Student Ministry? 📱 Text STUDENTS to +1 (844) 790-9381 to get Student Ministry updates sent straight to your phone. 📧 You can also subscribe at the bottom of this update to be notified by email when new Student Ministry updates are posted. 👋 See You Wednesday! 6:00–8:00 PM at the Youth House Bring your Bible. Bring a friend. Come hungry. And come ready to learn how to open God’s Word and let it shape the way you live. See you Wednesday!

Last week we started talking about whether we can trust the Bible, but we didn’t get through everything we had planned. So this Wednesday, we’re picking the conversation back up with another important question: What is the Bible actually for? We’ll look at 2 Timothy 3:16–17 and talk about what this passage teaches us about the purpose of Scripture. God didn’t give us the Bible simply so we could know more information. His Word teaches us, corrects us, trains us, and equips us to live as followers of Jesus. Bring your Bible Wednesday night! 🔥 This Week’s Challenge Before Wednesday, read 2 Timothy 3:16–17 again. This time, pay attention to the different things Paul says Scripture does. Then think about this question: What does God want His Word to do in my life? Come ready to talk about it Wednesday. 🙌 Uprise | This Friday & Saturday! Uprise is this Friday and Saturday, September 11–12!

And with Uprise coming up this weekend, pray that God would use our time together to encourage us, strengthen our faith, and help us grow closer to Jesus.

Student Update week of August 24
We’re back to our regular Wednesday nights this week! Come hungry, bring your Bible, bring a friend, and be ready for a great night together. 🍝 Eat • 🎲 Play • 📖 Grow ⏰ Wednesday | 6:00–8:00 PM 📍 Youth House Here’s the plan: 🍝 EAT — Spaghetti and garlic bread! 🎲 PLAY — We’ll have some fun together and plenty of time to hang out and connect. 📖 GROW — We’re starting our brand-new Foundations series. 📖 This Week: One Bible. One Story. Have you ever wondered how everything in the Bible fits together? The Bible has 66 books, different authors, different kinds of writing, and events that happened across thousands of years. But all of those pieces come together to tell one big Story. And that Story points us to Jesus. This Wednesday, we’re going to start putting the pieces together. Foundations is about understanding what we believe, why we believe it, and how God’s Word shapes the way we follow Jesus. Don’t forget to bring your Bible! 🔥 This Week’s Challenge Before Wednesday, grab your Bible and find these three passages: Genesis 1:1 John 3:16 Revelation 21:1–5 They come from very different parts of the Bible. Here’s the challenge: What do you think these three passages have to do with each other? Come Wednesday ready to find out. 🙏 Pray About It Take a few minutes this week to pray for our Student Ministry. Ask God to help us understand His Word, grow closer to Jesus, and encourage one another as we begin this new series together. And think about this: Who is one friend you could pray for and invite to join you Wednesday night? Have a Prayer Request? We want to pray for you! You can text your prayer request anytime to: +1 (844) 790-9381 Let us know how we can be praying for you this week. 🙌 Uprise Is Coming! Uprise is getting closer, and we want you there!
