High School Book Study: Mere Christianity

Starting on Wednesday, January 18, we will walk through the book, Mere Christianity (by CS Lewis) with any high school student willing to join. This will be an intense study, but it will be greatly beneficial to understanding what we should believe about God/church and why. The study will be each Wednesday evening from 6-8pm at the home of Steve and Yvette in Salem. (Contact Steve for directions.)

If you plan on joining us for this study, you need to purchase or borrow a copy of the book. Also, below are several resources you can use while reading the book.

All the above resources are in PDF format. If you need a PDF file reader, we suggest Adobe Reader.

Schedule:

  • Jan. 18 – Intro discussion; Read preface together.
  • Jan. 25 – Fun night; No discussion.
  • Feb. 1 – Book 1 discussion.

Talking Point for Parents: Grace & Discipline

As we continue through our “Guardrails” series, we want to pass along a great (Orange) blog post for you parents. It is by Carey Nieuwhof, and it speaks about the balance of grace and discipline within parenting.

Many of the parents who came to this month’s Parent Group discussed the difficulty with balancing these two concepts. As you talk with your teenagers and help them setup their own guardrails, it is important to find the balance between grace and discipline.

The deadline for singing up is January 22.

Where are we going?
We are heading to Pats Peak (about 1 1/2 hours from RCC).

Who all can go?
This trip is for all 6-12th grade students and their friends!

What will my $45 include?

  • Your parent must sign the RCC permission slip letting us know that they are aware of you being with us for the entire time of this trip.
