Stillmeadow Families,

Today I am praising God for the way He showed up at Excursion.  It was a time of growth and connection for our teens!  I am so grateful for the work God is doing and how all of HIs creation points to Him.  Hearing each of them share their heart with their peers was such an encouragement and blessing to me.  Please continue to pray for each of the teens who were at Excursion!

Stillnaz Youth Update 04.22.25

It all begins with an idea.

Stillmeadow Families,

I hope all of you had a great Easter!  This time after Easter reminds us that we have a job to do!  The disciples had expectations that they would be the top government leaders under Jesus' reign and in an instant all of those expectations are transformed.  When they ask Him, is this the time Israel will be restored, He tells them to be His witnesses to the whole world.  Jesus is already the world's true king, but we wait for His kingdom to come fully as we participate in His kingdom work now!  May our expectations be transformed and may we go and tell the world about Jesus!


Tonight is Ignite!  We will be tackling Isaiah 13-17 as we look at "Purification and Pride."  God's desire is to purify us, and, in that process, pride can work against us.  We are called to give up pride and turn to humility.  We are called to live a life of surrender and purification instead of a life of pride.  Here are some questions you can talk to your teen about!

Reflection Questions:

  1. Have you gone through a time that was hard but you can look back and see God purifying you?

  2. Is it hard to trust God through hard times?

  3. What areas of your life do you struggle with pride?

  4. How does pride keep you from fully surrendering?

  5. Do you want to surrender your life to God and ask Him to sanctify you, leaving pride behind?

Here are some exciting sign-ups!

  1. Next week, April 29th, parent night will be during our Family Fun Fifth TuesdayWe will be having a meal together at 6:00pm and then at 6:30pm the teens will participate in games as the parents meet for a time of learning and fellowship.  We will then come back together to play some generational games.  Please plan to join us to connect as a family with your teen and with other parents as we share and grow together!  Please RSVP to tmartin@stillnaz.com

    and let me know if you plan to attend by Friday, April 25th so we can get a count for the family meal!

  2. NYC fundraiser- Honor and Glory Concert! On Friday, May 9th youth ministry is partnering with worship ministry to host Honor and Glory (if you have heard of Disciple, this is their worship band).  This concert is being fully sponsored by Rock Real Estate and Body by Barker (thank you!!!) so all tickets and concessions sold will go to the teens going to NYC.  Plan to attend to support our youth!  Tickets are available at www.stillnaz.com/concert

Stillmeadow Families,

Tonight is Ignite!  We are continuing our March Madness themed game time and will be competing in teams until the National Championship!  During our prayer time, we are praying for those who suffer from any addiction, dependency or co-dependency.   Then we are taking time to repent before the Lord for anything He places on our hearts.  We are then talking about the scripture from the reading today (1 Samuel 24), living a life of fear versus a life of faith.  We are exploring how a life of fear can lead to revenge and a life of faith leads to mercy.  Talk to your teens about these questions:

What fears are you carrying?

How have you let culture perpetuate your fear and paranoia?

Is it hard to drown out the voices of others and listen to God?  What could help with that?

When is a time you wanted revenge?

Is God asking you to choose mercy in a particular situation or with a particular person?

Pray together over your fears and those who have hurt you.

Reminder!  Since there will be times we will serve on a Tuesday night off site, we are asking every family to fill out the yearly permission slip that is attached that gives us permission to take your child off site on a Tuesday night!  Please fill this out and return it to pmoses@stillnaz.com ASAP!  Thank you!

Stillmeadow Families,

Happy Tuesday!  Tonight is Ignite!  We are kicking off our March Madness themed game time and will be competing in teams until the National Championship!  During our prayer time, we are praying for the immigrants and refugees in our community and taking time to repent before the Lord for anything He places on our hearts.  The sermon tonight is a student led sermon which I am really excited about!  One of our teens is going to be talking to us about the book of Ruth and how it applies to our relationships.  Talk to your teens about these questions:

      1.    What are the things that are keeping your relationship with God growing?

      2.    What relationships do you need to weaken in order to follow God?

      3.    What can you do in your school, community, or household to grow your relationships with them?

      4.    And lastly, what can you do to be more like Ruth, and less like Orpah? And how can you achieve that?

  

Today's reading starts with Ruth 1 so it's a great time to jump into the Bible reading plan!

 The link to the plan is below!

Stillnaz Youth Update 03.04.25 (Copy)

It all begins with an idea.

Stillmeadow Families,

Happy Tuesday!  Tonight is Ignite!  We are diving into the book of Judges tonight and talking about the battles we face in our lives.  We are also looking at how the Israelites turned to the repeated cycle of 

sin→ oppression→repentance→deliverance→peace.  Talk to your teens about this cycle and how they see it play out in the world and their own lives.  Ask them about what battles they may be facing.  Praise God that just as God provided the judges for the people, He provides the ultimate judge in Jesus to deliver us from the cycle of sin and the battles we face.  Today's reading starts with Judges 1 so it's a great time to jump in!

 The link to the plan is below!

Stillnaz Youth Update 03.04.25

It all begins with an idea.

Stillmeadow Families,

Stillmeadow Families,

Happy Tuesday!  Tonight is Ignite!  For those of you who were able to experience Gather, what a powerful time of transformation, prayer and commission!  I am praying we live into the promise that "where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom."  The Lord offers us freedom in all the places that are bound.  May we run to Him!  

Also, what a fantastic job our teens did during Youth Sunday!  If you see a teen, tell them great job!

Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent!  I encourage each of you to sign up for our Lenten devotionals and take part in them together as a family.  Also, spend some time thinking about what thing you can "holy subtract" from your life over Lent to lean into greater dependence on the Lord. 

Tonight, we are finishing the book of Deuteronomy and talking about obedience!  I will be leaving for a chunk of time for my son's NHS induction but will return to hear Nikki Stocker bring the message!  I am really excited for the teens to hear the word and testimony Nikki is bringing tonight.  

We will be starting in the book of Joshua on Thursday so if you haven't started reading, it is a good entry point!  The link to the plan is below!

https://bible.com/p/70629009/f54a13a1c4c97b482b4aae389bd79753

Here is a summary of a couple of exciting things coming up!

  1. Winter Jam is THIS Saturday, March 8th.  Please register here.  The cost is 15$ at the door.  Your teen will need to bring the money with them if you register!  Deadline is tonight!  If you register, you will be receiving an email with all the details!

Stillnaz Youth Update 02.24.25

It all begins with an idea.

Stillmeadow Families,

Good Monday afternoon.  As we start a new week, we remember the events of what happened this weekend at UPMC.  We name there is brokenness and tragedy, and we name the hope we have in Christ to restore.  We hold these two things together at the same time and remember God's work isn't done.  We turn to Him in trust and turn to Him to move and then we move where He leads.  May we run toward the broken and point others to Jesus, the way, the truth and the light in the darkness.  

Tomorrow night is Ignite!  We are starting the book of Deuteronomy where Moses tells the generation about to enter the Promised Land, the story of God's faithfulness.  This week, may we also tell our children the stories of God's faithfulness in our lives.   Let us not be prone to forgetfulness.  If you haven't joined the reading plan yet, click this link below!  This is a great time to start!

Stillnaz Youth Update 01.27.25

It all begins with an idea.

Stillmeadow Families,

Happy Monday!  Tomorrow night, we are doing a dive into Exodus 32 where the Israelites make an idol at the foot of the mountain.  The same people who can see the Lord's presence at the top of the mountain.  The same people who just committed to keeping the covenant with God.  We are going to look at the idolatry from the perspective of Aaron and the people.  Idols are lifeless and we become what we worship.  So when we are worshipping something other than the Lord, we become dead. It hinders us from having life and living in God's love and joy and forgiveness.  We must name them, get rid of them and turn to Jesus instead.  Pray with me that we will all leave our idols behind and turn to the life Jesus offers instead.

 Here is the youth link to jump into the reading plan if you haven't joined already!

Finally, tomorrow is the last day to register for winter retreat!  It will be the weekend of 2/7-2/9.  This will include a retreat time of devotions and prayer.  Friday night will be a lock-in style night, where we will stay up late and sleep at the church.  Saturday morning, we will have breakfast and go snow tubing as a youth group then return to the church for dinner.  Saturday night we will spend the night in host homes and be back at the church Sunday after second service.  I am praying this is a time of connection and unity and growth!  This will be 40$/person which will cover meals for Saturday and snow tubing!  Here is the link to register....

It all begins with an idea.

Stillmeadow Families,


Happy Tuesday!  Tonight is Ignite!  I am so excited to have one of our teens preaching tonight on forgiveness.  When we think about the Israelites coming to the edge of the water and feeling like they were trapped, we remember that we bring a lot of things to the edge of the water and feel trapped sometimes, but God provides a way.  And He provides a way toward reconciliation and forgiveness even when it's hard.

Here is the youth link to jump into the reading plan if you haven't joined already!
