POP Mentor 2020

Worship online with us Wednesday at 7:00pm via Facebook Dear mentors & mentees, This is our last official week of mentoring. For you 6th & 7th grade pairs, make sure you discuss  plans for Lent next year. Will you be able to continue together (please send me an email either yes or no, brenth@princeofpeacechurch.org)? Are there ways you might stay in touch throughout the year if possible? And 8th grade pairs this is your last year! While we don't require it of you, but hopefully you'll consider what it might look like to maintain some level of mentor/mentee relationship into the future.  *Highs & Lows* (Don't hesitate to spend most of the time here) - How are you doing in these circumstances? What has been challenging? What has been going well? -Presently, my biggest obstacle is... -What I have going for me is...

March 18: Forgiveness in the Neighborhood Worship online with us Wednesday at 7:00pm via www.facebook.com/popgrowreach *Highs & Lows* Live it challenge - Check in about last week (how many neighbors do you know?) This week - Have you hurt someone? Reach out to apologize. This week's videos: Mister Rogers gets upset with Mr McFeely Fred Rogers Talks About a Time he Said "I'm Sorry" Psalm 103:8-19, Matthew 18:21-22 Reflect: What parts stuck out to you? What questions did they raise for you? Read before diving into conversation starters- Important to note - Forgiving someone does NOT mean giving them a free pass to hurt you again. For giveness is different from condoning, excusing, forgetting, pardoning, and  reconciliation.  Nor is there an expectation of having to forgive immediately.

How can we live - so that every person becomes our "sibling" in Christ? Live it challenge - Do you know at least 5 of your neighbors by name? (if yes already, learn more!) *Highs & Lows* People annoy me when... People can be fun when... Activity idea - Look up/Name five songs that have the word love in them ... Who is my neighbor? What are the boundaries of my neighborhood? Who sets those boundaries?  What might Jesus say about those boundaries? Is love possible without risk? If so, how; and if not, why not? Love is an acti
