April 13th was our first unconventional Bible study youth initiative for the Southern Conference and it was a time to plan our future meetings together. But, after hearing from some of our churches and realizing they have lots of elementary students that would love to attend, I have opened it up to all youth age groups – elementary, middle and high school. After all, God’s word is for everyone and Bible Study can be modified for all youth ages to participate collectively. We will still proceed with discussions on life topics so depending upon the subject that may be only for a particular age group. If you are a young adult in the 20s age group, we also welcome you to participate on both Sundays to share the wisdom you have obtained during your younger years.

The April 13th group decided that this would be a group that gets to decide its topic or Bible verse and everyone can decide how they want to share or not realizing we have introverts and extroverts. On April 27th the group decided to start with Matthew 5:1. Rev. Belinda Sledge will be the coordinator but will invite many of our clergy and laity to make guest appearances to facilitate.

It is from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. on the second and fourth Sundays of each month. The 2nd Sunday is devoted to studying a book from the Bible, and the 4th Sunday features a pre-planned topic of choice that impacts your daily life, with either a participant leading the discussion or an outside guest.

You will use the same Zoom link each Sunday:
