J.O.G. (Jesus our Goal)Through the Summer
The Challenge: Each week we will schedule Bible readings for you to do at home during your quiet time with God. Then on Sunday morning at 9 a.m. in the youth room, we will discuss what we have read during the week.
We encourage you to have a notebook handy and jot down any thoughts or questions you have while reading. Pray and ask the Holy Spirit to speak to you as you read. Let's see what God wants to say to us!
July 26th-31st - John 7 & 8
August 2nd-6th - John 9 & 10
August 9th-13th - John 11 & 12
