The Galilean & GMA youth programs will meet on the 2nd & 4th Sunday’s each month beginning February 8th. This will allow us to offer a better quality program to our youth and hopefully draw more youth to the programs. After the morning service, we will meet in the Family Life Center at 12:10 for lunch followed by at least two hours working on the program materials. The remainder of each afternoon will be filled with different activities such as: visiting shut-in members, watching inspirational movies/videos, discipleship, games and other things to enhance the programs to help our youth grow in Christ. We met this way a couple of times last year and everyone liked the format. Even though we will only meet twice a month, we will have much more time to do things than we have had meeting for about 45 min each week. Please pray for all our youth programs and workers at FBC Mantachie.
Girls’ Missionary Auxiliary August 21, 2013
It is an exciting time at FBC! There is a lot going on for our youth. Awana will be starting soon. Galileans is continuing to grow and, as always we have the Main Event. GMA’s will be starting in September; so, be sure to bring your youth to join in the fun!
We have had a lot of girls express interest in joining. Exciting! GMA is a program designed to help the girls grow in their walk with our Lord through prayer, bible study, faith, love and service. It will build their knowledge of what they can do for their church, community and world.
I want to thank the church for your prayers for our youth ministries. We as teachers and leaders need them as well. We have opportunities for you to help if you feel led. Don’t let the devil tell you that others will step up to fill the gap. This is your chance to help make sure our youth stay on the right track with the Lord. Step out of your box! I can tell you from experience that you will be just as blessed as the youth.
See you at your next chance to bless!
Elizabeth Johnson
GMA Director
