SHARP

This summer, while at camp, we as a youth group experienced something amazing. During that week we saw a lot of spiritual and emotional growth among our students. One of the desires we had was to build upon that growth.
Enter SHARP groups.
Based on Proverbs 27:17, we are beginning our accountability groups this Sunday night at 6:00 pm (after band practice).
We had a similar program before (small groups) and on the surface it may look like the same program but our focus will be on something totally different.
SHARP groups will be specifically about growing as an individual through daily devotions, prayer, and transparent behavior.

If you feel like you have so much to say but nobody will ever listen, this will be a great group for you to join. You will be pushed to do things outside of your comfort zone, and will be expected/encouraged to keep up with your daily devotions given to you each week.
If you have any questions our first meeting will be this Sunday, September 26th at the Lighthouse.
