Session 1
Family Life
Youth Ministry no longer (thankfully!) is just about teenagers. It connects to the whole family. With that wonderful connection comes all the beauty and struggle of family life. In this session, we explore some hard moments of family life, the growing moments when our families get bigger, the celebrations of everyday life, and the normal moments that make up most of our days.
