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.

Parent Update- Week of Sept 21
Parents, here’s what’s coming up this week in Student Ministry! This Wednesday, we’ll continue our Foundations series as we help students learn how to read and understand Scripture for themselves. This week, we’re looking at the different genres found in the Bible and why recognizing them matters when we read God’s Word. This Wednesday Date: Wednesday, September 23 Time: 6:00–8:00 PM Location: Youth House Who: Students in 6th–12th grade Dinner: Pancakes & Sausage 📖 This Week in Foundations: Genres in Scripture The Bible is one Story, but it contains many different kinds of writing. This week, students will learn about genres found throughout Scripture, including history, poetry, prophecy, wisdom literature, letters, and more. Why does that matter? We don’t read a poem the same way we read a history book, and we don’t read a letter exactly the same way we read a proverb. Recognizing what kind of writing we’re reading helps us slow down, pay attention to what the biblical authors are communicating, and understand God’s Word more clearly. Our goal isn’t simply for students to know the names of different genres. We want to give them practical tools that help them become more confident reading and studying Scripture for themselves. 🏠 Parent Challenge: Read It Differently Sometime this week, take a few minutes with your student and read Psalm 23 and Mark 4:35–41 together. Then talk about these questions: What is different about the way these two passages are written? What does each passage teach us 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 to turn this into a lesson or have all the answers. Let your student do some of the thinking. Ask questions, listen to what they notice, and talk about it together. The goal is simply to open God’s Word together and practice recognizing how the kind of writing we’re reading helps us understand what God is communicating through it. 🌧️ Giant Banana Split Update It looks like we’re going to have some rainy weather, so we will not be doing the giant banana split this Wednesday. Don’t worry—we haven’t forgotten about it! We’ll save it for another night when the weather cooperates and we can enjoy it together. 🎃 Looking Ahead: Pumpkin Party The last Wednesday of October will be our Pumpkin Party for students in 6th–12th grade! We’re planning a fun night with: 🎃 Pumpkin carving 🍽️ Pumpkin-themed food 🎲 Pumpkin games Students are welcome to dress in costume, as long as costumes are appropriate for youth group. This will also be a great night for students to invite a friend. We’ll share more details as we get closer. 🙏 Pray With Us As we gather this week, please pray: For understanding — that students would learn to read Scripture carefully and understand what God is communicating through His Word. For confidence — that students would become increasingly comfortable opening and studying the Bible for themselves. For desire — that knowing how to study Scripture would lead to a deeper desire to spend time in God’s Word. For transformation — that students wouldn’t simply learn more about the Bible, but would be shaped by God’s Word as they follow Jesus. Thank you for partnering with us as we help students know, love, and follow Jesus. We’re looking forward to seeing our 6th–12th grade students this Wednesday from 6:00–8:00 PM at the Youth House! Praise God. Serve Others. Cultivate Disciples.

JOIN US FOR 21 DAYS OF PRAYER
From September 13 through October 3, Prince Street Church is setting aside 21 days to seek God together. During these 21 days, we are encouraging everyone in our church family to pray one simple prayer each day: “Holy Spirit, help me see where You are at work today and give me courage to join You.” To help us pray together, we are sharing a new post each day on the Prince Street Church Facebook page. Each post includes a short reflection and a specific prayer focus based on one of three prompts: Spirit, lead me.
What does God want to do in my life? Spirit, lead our church.
How is God leading Prince Street Church? Spirit, lead us into our community.
Where is God already working around us, and how can we join Him? Visit our Facebook page each day to follow the campaign and pray alongside your church family. We have also created a phone lockscreen featuring our daily prayer. Download it below and set it as your lockscreen as a simple reminder to pause, pray, and pay attention to where God is working throughout your day. Whether you have participated from the beginning or are just hearing about it, you can begin today. Visit our Facebook page, download the lockscreen, and join us in prayer.

Prince Street Church has begun a 21-day prayer emphasis, September 13 through October 3. During these 21 days, our church family is praying one simple prayer each day: “Holy Spirit, help me see where You are at work today and give me courage to join You.” Parents, we would love for you to participate—and to invite your family to pray with you. Here are three prompts to help you begin: Spirit, lead me.
Give me patience, wisdom, and grace in the way I speak and respond at home. Spirit, lead our church.
Help Prince Street Church support families and become a spiritual family for people in every season of life. Spirit, lead us into our community.
Show our family a neighbor, classmate, or local need that we can pray for and serve together. You might pray together at breakfast, around the dinner table, at bedtime, or during the drive to school. Then ask one another: Where did you notice God at work today? Whether you begin today or have been praying from the start, we invite your family to join us. #21DaysOfPrayer #PrinceStreetChurch #SpiritLeadOurFamilies
