Conejo Weekly News! September 22, 2022

Hello, Conejo friends and family,
I pray you are well this week as you lean into Jesus and into all he has planned for your life. We will continue in our series on 2 Timothy this Sunday.

If you’ve missed any weeks so far, please watch or listen to those teachings so you can see the big picture, (the links are at the bottom of the newsletter).

This coming Sunday we will learn about false teaching and false teachers. This is not just a problem the church faced 2000 years ago. These things are alive and well in our culture today. How do you know what’s true vs false? How do you know what teaching you can trust? Let’s get into it and learn from God’s Word together about discerning right from wrong and true from false. Please read 2 Timothy 2:14-3:9 before Sunday. The verses are fascinating.

Every Sunday morning, you are also invited to come early and pray with a few people under the big oak tree before the service to lay needs before the Lord and to get your heart prepared.

Can’t wait to see you this weekend.

In His Peace,
Kirk

Conejo Youth

Youth Emphasis
Sundays & Tuesdays

Sunday mornings we’ve begun taking a deeper dive into the 20 Bible Truths every student should have in their “spiritual backpack”.

We’ve been continuing our study on the book of James on Tuesday evenings, and have covered things like seeking wisdom through trials, the importance of perseverance, and avoiding temptation. We’ll continue this 12 week series each Tuesday.

Watch for a youth calendar that will be coming soon on our Conejo website. I’ll have events there to keep you up to date on what we have planned for the youth of Conejo.

Thank You,
Lucas Johnston
Youth Director

Youth Group | New Meeting Time!
