What's Happenin' @ Collision

What's Happenin' @ Collision

Below is a brief summary of what we have been talking about recently.  Most of the time we teach through a series for several weeks at a time that way students that miss can get caught back up quickly, and so we can dissect a topic more fully than just a one night deal. Use the overview and questions for both you and your teen to answer and have a dialog that continues outside the church walls and into your homes.  Use this opportunity to see what God is teaching your student and also allow your student to see what God is teaching/taught you.

Series Overview

The word hashtag has taken over our social world.  Everything from natural disasters to sports events to just silly catch phrases at the end of a status update.  A hashtag groups information based on a descriptor...something that describes the data. The question we are asking of our students is, what message identities you?  What hashtag describes you? #Party kid? #True friend? #Cheater? #Complainer?  You see, there are certain things that every Christ follower should be described as-certain things that should be our #hashtags.  This series will dive into these and expose how a life that uses thee #hashtags is a life best lived in a relationship with Christ.

Week 1 (2014.08.20)

This is our first week back after the LOOOONG summer break (we've missed these crazy kids), so our plan is to intro the series, have fun and fellowship with everyone again and re-connect.  The bellow question would be a question to ask at the beginning of this series and at the end to get a feel for what's stirring the heart of your student.

Intentional Interaction

• Ask your teen what word do they think describes them?  What word do they their friends might use to describe them?
• Parents, use this time to speak a little encouragement into their lives and pick one word that describes your teens best quality (PRO-TIP: if you think it would be received better in letter form, why not take a minute tonight to write - yes with pen and paper- a note that outlines your teen's best qualities).
