There will be no youth group on Wednesday, NovEMBER 26th.  Have a happy Thanksgiving Holiday!

Here's our Discussion Questions from Wednesday night 11/19/25.
 
Just for Fun…
  • What’s the strangest way you’ve ever injured yourself?
  • What’s something you’re currently trying to get better at?
Thinking Deeper…
  • Read Isaiah 9:1–7 together
  • Verse 4 describes the yoke that burdens them, the bar across their shoulders, and the rod of their oppressors.  What were these things and how do each of these speak to the things that bind and control us even today? Discuss.
  • The good news of the Gospel is that Jesus steps into the hard difficult places in our life and brings HOPE!   What’s an area of your life where you currently feel trapped, lost, hurting, or broken?
  • How does Jesus bring hope into our struggles today? Discuss.
  • Pray for one another!

Student Leadership Application

-BECOME A STUDENT MINISTRIES LEADER:
We are ALWAYS in need of adult student leaders.  The harvest is plentiful and the workers are few! If you've got a heart for kids and a heart for Christ, we would love to give you a place to serve! We need you!
-BECOME A PARENT PARTNER:
Our Parent Partners are simply a group of committed parents that want to help out whenever possible.
"I can bring snacks", "I can give rides", "I can be a chaperone", "Just let me know what you need and I'll see if I can help!"
-JOIN THE SNACK SQUAD:
We are blessed with a growing youth group and we all know those teens love snacks! Sign up to bring a snack for youth group on one or more Wednesday nights this year!
It has been such a joy beginning the process of getting to know your students here at Creekside and I am humbled to be entrusted with the task of pointing them towards Jesus.  I realize when a church hires a new youth pastor, there is a natural tendency to think that they are here to work with the teens.  Whereas that is certainly a part of my role, mom’s & dad’s, I want you to know that I’m also here for YOU!  Parenting is no easy task, and as parents you will absolutely be the number one influence on your children and upon their spiritual formation!  As you seek to point your kids towards Jesus, please know that you aren’t in this alone!  If there is anything at all that I can do to support you as you shepherd your children, my door is always open!
