Welcome 8th graders to Ikon

Hey parents,

We welcomed 8th graders to Ikon for the first time last night. it was great to have so many new faces join us. we brought back our "wake up" video series as part of the 8th grade initiation. Clay W and Robert F were our first victims. Check out the video on the website.

We began a series called 4:12. it is based on 1 Timothy 4:12 which says "Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity." for the next three weeks we will be talking about what it means for a teenager to set an example in speech, conduct, faith, love, and purity.

Last night's topic was speech and conduct.

The teens were challenged to represent Christ in their daily lives through their "walking and talking" Small groups also began planning for "Ikon's big give" On May 11, small groups will put their faith in to action, doing different projects doing 24t7. at the end groups will be judged on who did the best job of giving and the winning team will win a prize.

The point of this series is to take what we experience at 24t7 every Sunday night and share it with those around us. That is really what being an Ikon of Christ is all about.

Have a great week,
Peter
