Pilgrimage Small Groups for 6th-12th Graders

Mondays at noon this Summer

What is this anyway? Has anyone ever told you that you needed to grow spiritually? Or have you ever heard that you need to grow closer to God, but maybe you just don't know how or you don't know where to start?

The Way of the Pilgrimage is your chance to join with other students your age for intimate small groups, meeting once a week for about 6 weeks for the purpose of growing closer to God. We call this process Spiritual Formation. Over the course of several weeks you will practice prayer, study, and listening to the voice of God as God forms your relationship with him.

We will discover together the depth of God's desire for intimacy with us, and the joy of growing closer to our Maker. We will discover what it means to be people walking the journey of faith.

How will it work? You will meet various Mondays in the summer at lunchtime in the youth room. After having lunch together, you will meet with other students your age who will participate with you in learning how to be spiritually formed. Following these studies, you'll hang out for various fun activities.

These small groups are FREE. To be a part of these small groups, you need to sign up by the deadline. The deadline to sign up is Sunday, May 26, 2013.

1 Day. $1 Million.

*UPDATE: On Mother's Day, Southland collected $8760 towards the Texas Baptist Hunger Offering. That's more than $2000 over what we raised in all of 2012! Way to go! 

Each time Southland  Baptist Church observes the Lord's Supper, we also take up the Texas Baptist Hunger Offering. This offering goes towards combating hunger here in Texas and around the globe. This year, we are taking up an additional offering on Mother's Day in response to the challenge set forth by David Hardage, the executive director of Texas Baptists, to raise $1 million in 1 day for this offering. It's a bold challenge with a basis in the biblical call to care for the least of these.

Please join us this Mother's Day by giving an extra offering towards this cause.
