Youth Chili Cook Off- This Sunday (10/19)
Here’s the details…
If you are entering a pot of chili in the competition, you can bring your crock pots down to the kitchen before the morning services. (We will have extra plugs to make sure they all stay warm during church.) Please make sure that all entrees are submitted by 12:15 at the very latest. Reminder… Mom’s, dad’s, and grama’s can give pointers and recipes, but students need to do ALL OF THE COOKING! Lunch and judging will start at 12:30pm following the 2nd service. Families are all invited to the cook-off. Come one, come all! Prizes and bragging rights are on the line!

Just for Fun…
- If you had to eat one meal every day for the rest of your life, what would it be?
- What was the best vacation you ever took, and why?
- Read John 1:1-5 together.
- What things do we learn about Jesus from these 5 verses? Discuss
- Read John 1:14, Colossians 1:15-16, & Colossians 2:9 together.
- What do we learn about Jesus from these 3 passages? Discuss
- Most of us can think of a lot of different stories about Jesus. (Miracles, Encounters, Teachings, etc.) What are some of your favorite stories about Jesus, and what do we learn about the character of God from these stories?
- Read Philippians 2:5-8 together.
- If the Son of God lowered himself so greatly to save us, how can Jesus’s example of humbling himself on our behalf shape the way we relate with others? What specific things could we do in our normal circumstances of life to “humble ourselves”?
- Pray for one another.
PARENTS... GET SIGNED UP FOR PUSH NOTIFICATIONS. We will send you reminders about everything you need to know!!!
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!
