Our CONNECT STUDENT MINISTRIES

is starting a new Sunday School model on March 5 called CONNECTIONS.  We need volunteers to help with set-up and take-down of various stage equipment every Sunday.  There are two training sessions to choose from – one on Feb. 12 and the other on Feb. 26 – both after Sunday School in the gym.  This is a once a month flexible commitment!  Email brett@osyouth.com or call Brett at 447-1246, ext. 261, to sign up to help!

 

What is CONNECTIONS?  This high-energy, interactive, and small-group based Sunday School model will feature a worship band, a talk by an adult leader, occasional testimonies, small group time, and lots of chances to learn about God in a little different way.  The small groups will meet for the second half of the morning and will be age-based…meaning Jr. High will be with Jr. High and Sr. High with Sr. High.  If you have questions about this ministry, talk to Brett or email him at brett@osyouth.com.
