St. Francis of Assisi High School Milestone 2018

North Scottsdale United Methodist Church is Hosting:
"St. Francis of Assisi Milestone for High School Students"
Sunday, April 29th, 2018 @ 10:00 a.m.
 
North Scottsdale United Methodist church is hosting their “St. Francis of Assisi Milestone for High School Students” on Sunday, April 29th, 2018 during their 10:00 a.m.. worship service.
 
Your high school student is invited to celebrate the St. Francis of Assisi Milestone with North Scottsdale United Methodist Church!  We are inviting all high school students to celebrate the new information that they have and will be learning about St. Francis to a Milestone Celebration just for them on Sunday, April 29th, @ 10:00am in the NSUMC sanctuary located at, 11735 North Scottsdale Road, Scottsdale, AZ, 85254
 
The Sunday School teachers have been teaching the students about St. Francis throughout the month of April to help the students get a better understanding this saint and his ministry.   Students will learn that Francis enjoyed a very rich easy life growing up because of his father's wealth and the permissiveness of the times. He did poorly in school and was very rebellious. His rollercoaster life led him through extravagant times of chasing idols all the way to living on the streets.  Then back to rebuilding a church and creating a religious order.  He was able to rebuild a healthier life as well and his love for creation blossomed.
 
All students are invited if they have attended one, all of the Sunday School classes or if they just want to learn more this Sunday.  If you have any questions, please email me at terry@nsumc.com .
 
North Scottsdale United Methodist Church celebrates the love of God through Christ by having two services on Sunday (8:30 am and 10:00 am).  Sunday School and the nursery is available for newborns through twelve year old children at both services.  Youth Sunday School (grades six through twelve) will have Sunday school during the 10:00a.m. service.  Some of the other children and youth activities include; children’s choir, youth band, volleyball, mission trips, small groups, festivals and youth groups.  N.S.U.M.C. also offers adult Bible studies, men and women’s groups, choirs, retreats, holiday events, turn-around trips, mission trips and more. 
 
If you are interested in additional information about N.S.U.M.C. or any of these events, please call the church office at (480) 948-0529; visit them at 11735 North Scottsdale Road (85254), check out their websites (www.nsumc.com or www.nsumckids.info ), Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/NorthScottsdaleUMC ) and Pinterest pages https://www.pinterest.com/nscottsdaleumc/.

Wesleyan Quadrilateral High School Milestone 2017

Picture
The High School Milestone for 2017 will be learning about the Wesleyan Quadrilateral.  The students will discuss the four elements.  This Milestone Celebration will occur on Sunday, April 30th during the 10:00am worship service. 

Here is a mini-preview of the curriculum"


​Wesleyan Quadrilateral
The phrase which has relatively recently come into use to describe the principal factors that John Wesley believed illuminate the core of the Christian faith for the believer. Wesley did not formulate the succinct statement now commonly referred to as the Wesley Quadrilateral. Building on the Anglican theological tradition, Wesley added a fourth emphasis, experience. The resulting four components or "sides" of the quadrilateral are (1) Scripture, (2) tradition, (3) reason, and (4) experience. For United Methodists, Scripture is considered the primary source and standard for Christian doctrine. Tradition is experience and the witness of development and growth of the faith through the past centuries and in many nations and cultures. Experience is the individual's understanding and appropriating of the faith in the light of his or her own life. Through reason the individual Christian brings to bear on the Christian faith discerning and cogent thought. These four elements taken together bring the individual Christian to a mature and fulfilling understanding of the Christian faith and the required response of worship and service.
