Grace Lutheran is excited to announce the launch of Abide, a new 4-week youth night pilot program that started on May 3.
We know that between school, sports, and life, schedules are incredibly busy and students are often running on empty. Abide is designed to be a completely different kind of youth group
experience. Instead of a traditional classroom setting, we are meeting at the Espejo House across the street from the church for a relaxed, living-room-style night focused on authentic connection, rest, and community, centered around the message of the Vine and the Branches from John 15.
Here are the details for the 4-week pilot:
Dates: May 3, May 17, May 24, and May 31
Time: 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM
Location: The Espejo House (120 Espejo St, Mobile, AL 36604, across the
street from the church)
Ages: 14-18
What to expect: Every night will kick off at 6:00 PM with free dinner (including Foosackley's, Little Caesars pizza, Jimmy John's, and Chipotle taco bar on our final night!), followed by some fun group games like Catch Phrase to break the ice. We will then transition into a short, 15-minute conversational teaching and break out into relaxed living-room discussions. The goal of this pilot is to create a safe space where students can just breathe, hang out, and grow together without any pressure.
