Wednesday Night Youth
This series will help students learn that our role as Christ-followers isn’t necessarily to avoid conflict, it’s to resolve conflict in a healthy, respectful way.
Week 1: We can pursue reconciliation, because Jesus pursued us first.
Week 2: If it is at all possible, live at peace with everybody.

Charge Weekend
Formerly known as M3 WKND this is an exciting weekend event that focuses on evangelism and getting students excited about sharing their faith. The word “charge” brings out the ideas of “charging up” the students to get out there and make a difference for the Kingdom of God and also the idea of a battle cry of, “Charge!”
Buy your ticket through the website, then register with us to let us know you're coming! Register as an individual even though we will go as a group. Meet at the church to be shuttled to and from Lake Church.
Parent Meeting
Jonathan is planning to meet with youth parents for a quick 30 minute to talk about our plans for 2026! Parents will meet in the gym while students head up to the loft.

Wednesday Night Youth
This month's theme is called Unmasked. Students are so used to hiding parts of themselves or their story, only sharing what they want the world to see. It’s natural to want to fit in and not be judged for who we are or what we believe. But while some students may hide from the world, the good news is that God sees every part of them—their worth, their God-given design, their fear and mistakes.
Unmasked Session 1
Fall Kickoff
Come to our most fun youth event of the year! We will have pizza at 6:30, youth games with great prizes, a lesson about putting God first in our lives, and end with a Ice Cream Sunday bar. Invite a friend and join us! The Gym doors open at 6.
Middle School
Come tonight to our Middle School weekly ministry time in the Grace Life Center. For more details go to gracearlington.com/middleschool.
Vocal training workshop with Amanda Chapman
Amanda Chapman is a long-time Arlington worship leader (and friend of Amanda Clothier and Joey!), and she's coming to GHOP to help us focus on breathing, blending, general awareness of our vocal gift and where that fits in worship as well as preparing through warm-ups.
Youth students are invited to sign up!
