Includes a time for learning about and receiving the “Father’s blessing” for themselves. <u>The youth do not attend this session</u>.</p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><strong>“R U Ready?”</strong></h2><p><strong>SUNDAY MORNING SERVICE</strong></p><p><strong>Time: Regular Sunday sermon length (can be repeated for multiple services)</strong></p><p><strong>For:  <u>The entire congregation</u></strong></p><p><em>Luke 12:40  “<strong>You also must be ready</strong>; because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect Him.”</em></p><p>R U Ready to understand manhood and womanhood from God’s perspective and not the world’s? What is an adult and how do you know when you are one? These are the questions addressed in this humorously powerful session. The church will be challenged to see how the world is trying to distort and confuse them about adulthood. Authentic adulthood is about individual responsibility and not “rights”.</p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><strong>“R U Able?” </strong></h2><p><strong>SUNDAY AFTERNOON 3:00 PM</strong></p><p><strong>Time: Time: 1 hour</strong></p><p><strong>For:  <u>The entire congregation</u></strong></p><p><em>Ephesians 6:11  “Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, <strong>you may be able to stand your ground</strong>, and after you have done everything, to stand.”</em></p><p>Adulthood comes from God alone. It’s about maturity not perfection. Godly adulthood is accomplished by God’s strength not yours, and God alone determines your value.</p><p> </p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><strong> “R U Prepared?” </strong></h2><p><strong>SUNDAY AFTERNOON  4:30 PM</strong></p><p><strong>Time: 1 Hour</strong></p><p><strong>For: <u>The entire congregation</u>    <em>Due to mature content, no children under 12 in this session please.</em></strong></p><p><em>Ezek. 38:7-8   “<strong>Get ready; be prepared</strong>, you and all the hordes gathered about you, and take command of them. After many days you will be called to arms.”</em></p><p>R U Prepared individually and corporately within the church to be the man or woman God has called you to be? R U Prepared from a purity standpoint? This session concludes with an altar call for God to restore purity.</p><h2 style="text-align: left;"><strong> “R U Willing?” and the Rite of Passage Ceremony </strong></h2><p><strong>SUNDAY EVENING  6:00 PM</strong></p><p><strong>Time: 2 Hour</strong></p><p><em>1 Chronicles 28:9  “And you, my son Solomon, acknowledge the God of your father, and <strong>serve Him with wholehearted devotion and with a willing mind</strong>, for the Lord searches every heart and understands every motive behind the thoughts.” </em>This session reviews the Covenant of Manhood/ Womanhood and the standards of being a man of honor or a woman of virtue.
