theGRID (for 11 to 14s)

11 to 14s can be possibly one of the most difficult ages to communicate effectively with. One minute you can be having an in-depth conversation about the nature of God and the next they want to chat with their friends about the latest cool fashion accessory! They can be very grown-up at times but still occasionally show flashes of the child within. theGRID will encourage a sophisticated relationship with God, not shying away from questions that the young people themselves are asking, but also wants to let that faith grow in a fun and lively environment.

Coming up in theGRID

December 2008 - This month, theGRID starts by looking at Paul’s advice in Philippians about our relationships with others. With Jesus as our role model, we’ll look at radical ideas of community, humility and confidence in Christ despite peer pressure and modern society.

Whilst that will prepare the young people for being around family and friends at Christmas, the last two weeks in December are all about the birth of Jesus as described in Matthew and Luke. Prepare to be amazed all over again that God came to us, not only as a human, or as a baby, but for all people on earth!
