The youth group at St. Matthew Lutheran Church in Hawthorn Woods, IL (grade 6 through high school) is gearing up for a great Summer! On Sunday nights we'll gather in The Pit for fun with friends and figuring out our faith. Our theme for this Summer is BIG ENOUGH.
Our God is BIG ENOUGH for anything we have for him...including our toughest questions. So this summer we're inviting all youth and their friends to bring it on! Ask all the tough questions and let's wrestle with God's answers. Here are the rules...
+ No question is off limits - ask anything you want about faith, God, church, other religions...ANYTHING!
+ Come ready for interactive discussion and searching God's Word
+ Friends are welcome...and so are their questions
+ Post your questions here as a comment to this blog post
Questions will be sorted into similar topics and every Sunday we meet in The Pit we'll tackle a topic. Check back here to find out what's the topic of the week. We might also be posting more in-depth answers here with Bible references you can check out for yourself.
Get ready to spend your summer with our God who is Big Enough!
