This week, we wrapped up Rebel's Manifesto with a discussion of how to determine God's will and how to have productive conversations with others about difficult topics.
Then, we introduced our new topic focus for the fourth quarter: John Wesley's Means of Grace. The hope here is for students to be spiritually formed as they continue making their faith their own, and the Means of Grace are a great gift to help in this. Students were introduced to John Wesley and we spent some time talking about how Wesleyan theology differs from some other major theological systems. Each week this quarter will focus on one of the Means of Grace (prayer, reading scripture, fasting, serving others, Communion, etc.) as we explore how they act as channels for us to experience God's grace.

WHAT'S NEXT?
Next week, our focus will be on prayer. Can prayer change things? How do our prayers help orient us towards God's will and mission in the world? How should we pray?
Mr. McCloskey will be gone next week on Senior Trip.
Have a great weekend!
Austin Rucker and Matt McCloskey
