TRANSIT WEEKEND
Saturday, November 15th and 16th
Hey middle schoolers, ready to have some fun?!!
Transit Weekend is our local fall overnight retreat for 6–8th grader students. Students will experience fun off campus outings with their small groups, meaningful discussion with other students, live worship, and unforgettable messages. This year our theme is labels.
Middle school students are constantly redefining themselves. One month they love soccer and you can’t pry them away from practice. The next month they only want to sit in their room and listen to music. Over the course of three years, middle schoolers will “try on” different friend groups, interests, fashion styles, and attitudes. While confusing to many adults, this is a critical time of self discovery and identity formation for these students.
But here’s the tricky part: one negative comment or experience can derail them. Students allow a single moment to label them, sometimes for a lifetime. They end up spending years trying to prove to the world that someone else’s opinion of them was wrong.
At Transit Weekend, students will look at the labels they’re letting define them. We will empower them to choose the labels that inform their identity, especially the labels that God has given them. If they will recognize the value God has placed on them, his clear labeling will be evident. They need to allow him to transform them into the people he wants them to be by changing the way they think about themselves.
