Celebrating Generosity: Youth Winter Retreat
We are so thankful for a church that supports and celebrates Student Ministry.
Winter Retreat 2023 was an amazing time of true fellowship and community. The theme for the weekend was “The Upside-Down King,” which focused on Jesus’s Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7). Students and leaders learned and discussed what it means to live in God’s Kingdom. The Winter Retreat would not be possible without an awesome volunteer staff!

BABY QUEST: March Lessons
Baby QUEST is Reston Bible Church’s ministry to the youngest members of our Body.
Each month, we will feature a guide for your family to use with children ages 0-2. The guide includes follow up activities, a craft or sensory activity, recommended reading, a song, and other tips that are uniquely tailored to the development of infants and toddlers.
The guide follows the themes we are teaching in our nursery classes, giving you an opportunity to connect and reinforce the ideas taught at home. Because children this age need repetition, each activity can be done multiple times throughout the month to continue to press it upon your child’s memory as they grow!
This month, we’re focusing on the story of Jesus and the storm. Children will love interacting with this story! They will learn about God’s power over all things, including things that are very dramatic and mysterious to young children-wind and rain! They will be introduced to the safety they have in God and will be guided in thanking God for His power and protection.
Big Idea:
God is Powerful!
Scripture Focus:
Mark 4
