Common Ground will officially begin this Wednesday night, September 3. It starts at 5:30 pm and ends at 7:00 pm. All Middle Schoolers will need to come to the Gym. We will be jumping into a 3 week series entitled: "Indescribable." We will be looking at God. We will explore such questions as: "Who is He?" "What does He do?" "What is He like?"
Common Ground is a highlight of the FBC Middle School Ministry. Please consider having your Middle Schooler involved in Common Ground. It will be one of the best parts of their week!
You might ask, "What else can you tell me about Common Ground?" Listed below are a few notes of interest:
-Common Ground began in September 0f 2006.
-Common Ground was named by a student. Students were given the opportunity to submit name ideas for our new midweek gathering. The catch was that the name had to be connected to a Scripture. The names were narrowed down to three choices and voted upon by various leaders. Here was the Scripture connected to Common Ground, "When I am with those who are weak, I share their weakness, for I want to bring the weak to Christ. Yes, I try to find common ground with everyone, doing everything I can to save some." (I Corinthians 9:22 NLT)
-Middle School attendance on Wednesday nights has tripled since the establishment of Common Ground.
-Common Ground influences more Middle Schoolers than any other program or event within our church.
-Common Ground is the front door to the Middle School Ministry. It is the ideal place for our regular students to bring kids who do not go to church or do not like church.
-Common Ground offers a little something for everyone. Each week is filled with a variety of creative aspects targeted to Middle Schoolers through recreation, music, discussion, teaching, and more.
