YOUTH AT EMMAUS
Emmaus' youth ministry is designed to encourage and support parents in preparing their youth to be active adults at Emmaus Christian Fellowship and ambassadors for Christ in the world. We believe that our young people are a valuable and significant part of the congregation, and therefore, need to regularly attend our Sunday worship services where they will learn from the teaching of the scriptures and worship and interact with the adults of Emmaus. In our efforts to prepare our youth for adulthood at Emmaus, our midweek service is similar to that of our adult Gospel Community Groups and Emmaus Essentials courses. Our midweek service contains worship through music, fellowship, and the systematic study of God's word. O' yea, we also like to have fun so we usually play some type of game at the beginning of the night!

This Thursday we will be entering into a new chapter of Wayne Grudem’s Systematic Theology. Chapter 19 (pages 397-408) of his book explains the doctrine of angels. Over the next two weeks we will be answering the questions “what are angels?” and “Why did God create them?” In addition to our systematic study we will be discussing the Gospel Community Group questions from Sunday’s sermon. Gospel Community Group Questions 1. What particular area of your life is God I’m looking forward to a great discussion!

This Week’s Youth Focus – 3/14
posted on Tuesday, March 12th by Phil
Last week we did not get very far in our study as we spent a good amount time discussing the Gospel Community Group Questions. This week we will continue our discussion on prayer. We will continue to follow the study focus laid out by Wayne Grudem in his Systematic Theology book pages 382-392. We will be examining the criteria for an effective prayer life, praying according to God’s will, praying with faith, obedience, confession of sin, humility, earnest prayers, waiting on the Lord, praying in private, praying with others, fasting, praise, and thanksgiving. See you there!

RESOURCES
Emmaus' youth ministry is not intended to take the place of our regular Sunday worship service. We believe that our young people are a valuable and significant part of the congregation, and therefore, need to regularly attend our Sunday worship services where they will learn from the teaching of the scriptures and worship and interact with the adults of Emmaus.

Emmaus' aim during the midweek youth service is to, one, provide a place for authentic Christian community and, two, study God's word systematically so that our youth can grow in the Lord and easily transition into Gospel Community Groups and Emmaus Essentials classes upon reaching adulthood.
