We will be beginning a new series on Wednesday night, beginning tonight and lasting through the month of May, entitled “God’s Good Design: Examining What God Says About Sexuality and Gender”. Some conversations I and other leaders have had in the past few months with parents and students, coupled with the near arrival of June as pride month, have made me think that this would be a good time to do a brief series relating to sex, gender, and LGBT issues. I’m sure that our students are dealing with these topics in their schools and will be bombarded with propaganda come June, so my desire is to prepare our students and reinforce them with God’s truth. We’ll start tonight by looking at Genesis 1:26-28 and 2:18-25 and God’s creation of male and female. Later in the month, we’ll look at other passages that address behaviors that go against this design and why they are sinful, and also allow some weeks for the students to ask questions with our leaders in male only and female only settings.

All discussions will be appropriate for a church setting, but since this is a delicate topic, I wanted to inform you, the parents, in case you had any hesitation about allowing your student to participate in a series like this. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns, and I’ll be happy to answer.
