Youth Nights

Grades 6–12

Tuesdays at 7:00pm
Room 100

The Midtown Youth ministry seeks to disciple students in Christ by guiding and mentoring them to grow in their faith, understanding and relationship with Jesus. Tuesday nights are an opportunity to come together for a time of teaching, discussion, fun and encouragement as we dig into God’s written word while seeing how to understand it, apply it and live it out in the world.

For more information, please email youth@midtownchurch.com.

Summer Youth Book Club

Book Order

Over the summer, youth ministry is going to be having a book club to help keep our minds engaged. For our book club we will be looking at Dane Ortlund's Deeper: Real Change for Real Sinners (186 pages) or, it's abridgement, How Does God Change Us? (92 pages).

Youth Book Club will run on Sundays after the gathering for approximately 30 minutes. I also realize that many families are in and out over the summer, so if you youth can make every meeting, that's not an issue.

You don't need to order through Youth Ministry to be part of the book club, but I want to make sure the option is available.

• Deeper - $30
• How God Changes Us - $12

Payments can be made to donations@midtownchurch.com and noting it's for the youth book club. Please place your order by June 15th.

If financial issues are in the way, email jeremy@midtownchurch.com and I'll make sure your child will be able to attend.

Romans 8 Youth Study

Over the summer, Midtown Church will be working through Romans 8, and as a youth group, we will be also working through Romans 8 the week before the text will be preached.

We will follow the Tim Keller's SPEAK method, similar to what Discipleship Groups use over the course of the school year. As students reflect upon the text they will observe that week's passage asking themselves:

• What are the Sins to avoid
• What are the Promises to keep
• What ares some Examples to follow
• How can they follow up with Actions to take
• What is some of the Knowledge of God they learned

Because many families are in and out over the summer, I want to make sure students are welcomed to come on a week by week basis and are not required to come every week, but as they are able.

Likewise, to keep things fresh over the summer, we will be at various locations over the summer, rather than always being in the church building.

The schedule will be as follows:

• June 30th — 8:1-4 (with refresher on Romans 1-7)
• July 7th — 8:1-4
• July 14th — 8:5-8
• July 21st — 8:9-11
• July 28th — 8:12-17
• August 4th — 8:18-23
• August 11th — 8:24-27
• August 18th — 8:28-30
• August 25th — 8:31-39

Youth Hikes

July 3rd – August 28th
10:00am

As Vancouverites, we've been absolutely blessed by the beauty of God's creation in our area. As Midtown youth, over the summer, we will be fully taking advantage of that and going on several day hikes again!

Each week, on Fridays, we will meet at the trailhead at 10:00am and we will eat lunch together at the destination for about an hour.

With a hectic summer schedule, feel free to come for one hike over the summer or all of them!

If getting to and from hikes is an issue, let Jeremy know and something can be arranged, however, extra seating will be limited.

The locations will be as followed with an approximate round trip hiking time:

• Bowen Island Lookout Trail, 2 Hours
• Dog Mountain, 2 Hours
• Jug Island Beach Trail, 2.5 Hours
• Golden Ears Canyon Loop, 4 Hours
• Quarry Rock, 1.5 Hours
• Two Canyon Loop, 3 Hours
• Murrin Loop Trail, 2 Hours
• Norvan Falls, 5 Hours
