Thrive Weekly Newsletter: Midweek Life Group Kickoff & Free Chick-fil-a???
We had a great start to our regular Sunday night. Our worship team was amazing, students were deeply engaged in games and fellowship time during dinner and were locked in during our Bible teaching time. What was so great to see was the way all of our students responded to now having two youth groups (Middle School and High School) and how time together and time apart is going to be a great way for them grow.
Here are some important things to note for the coming week and tools for you and your students in their discipleship journey:
Midweek Life Groups | Boys 5:30PM | Girls 6:30PM 👈
This week we kick of our Wednesday Night Student Life Groups. While Sunday nights are focused on mixed groups learning together, we also know how important it is for young men and young women to connect more deeply with one another. Wednesday nights will provide that space—where students can gather with mentors, discuss the unique issues they face, and see how God’s Word speaks into their lives as growing disciples.
Young Men’s Group – Meets Wednesdays at 5:30 PM, led by Pastor Dave
Young Women’s Group – Meets Wednesdays at 6:30 PM, led by Jamie Beetham and Chelsea Ingrassia
These gatherings will be a meaningful time of mentorship, encouragement, and spiritual growth. Encourage your student to come ready to share, listen, and grow in Christ together with their peers and leaders.
Family & Student Discipleship Guide 👈
As a tool for discipleship, we are including a weekly Family Connection that gives you something to discuss with your students related to what they are learning on Sunday night. We are also sending home a binder for each student with a Daily Discipleship Guide with five days of devotionals related to our study from Sunday night. If your student was not able to attend we do have a binder for them, but we don't want the to miss out on this weeks devotionals so I have included a digital copy below:

Monthly Drawing this Month: $25 Chick-fil-a Gift Card 👈
We know that there is a challenging to remembering to bring their discipleship binder every week so we wanted to incentivize students for 1) bringing their discipleship binder 2) inviting new students to Thrive.
So every week we will be giving a ticket to students who bring their discipleship binder on Sundays and two tickets if they bring someone new to Thrive. At the end of each month we will have a drawing for a $25 gift card and this month we have chosen Chick-fil-a. This is a great way to encourage students to both come, invite, and remember their binder!
Dinner Hosts Needed 🍽️
Our dinner time has become one of the most important parts of Thrive. Sharing a meal helps students build friendships and gives parents a great opportunity to connect with students while modeling what it looks like to serve.
We still have several September openings (INCLUDING THIS WEEK!!!) for dinner hosts! If you can provide a meal, sign up using the link below and help us continue this life-giving tradition.
