Happy New Year! Plan for January 6

Happy New Year, Alive! leaders! I am thrilled to begin a new semester with you all. Now that Advent has passed, we will resume Grapple with another set of fascinating discussion topics. You will start off the new year with a series on relationships, specifically societal relationships. The questions in this unit are:

• What Difference Can I Make?
• Why Can't Countries Get Along?
• Why Isn't There Enough to Go Around?
• Is Our Environment Really Falling Apart?

You will undoubtedly hear a variety of viewpoints through this series, as children attempt to represent the diverse opinions their parents have shared with them. I'm thrilled that the Alive! room is a safe place for them to ask questions and identify how their faith informs these social issues. 

Here is the link to this week's leader guide:

What Difference Can I Make?

Wild

Wild begins this Sunday! Please encourage your crew to come from 5-7:30pm and meet in the Gym. They are welcome even if they haven't signed up yet - we can take care of that at the door. And let Sarah know if you'd like to chaperone one of the weeks!

Welcome, Bridgette!

Bridgette Ehly is excited to join the Alive! team this semester, and I am thrilled that she has chosen to do so. She will take Jill's place as Jill transforms into a #1 substitute leader. :) Thanks to all of you!
