Youth Group Activities
Our youth not only have fun together but also work together.
Our youth actives are varied. We have
devotionals for the 9th through College aged on the second and fourth Sunday evenings
after worship services. The devotionals include singing, praying and scripture
discussions. The youth also travel to other congregations to help in their summer Gospel
meetings and help with their vacation Bible school programs.
We have outings to Six Flags Over Texas
amusement park. We have bowling, miniature golf, and pizza parties. In the summer
transportation is provided to attend the Summer Youth Series, which are held at
congregations all over the Ft. Worth/Dallas Area. At these meetings they can hear Gospel
lessons geared toward the youth, and it gives them the opportunity to meet other
Christians. Another activity is the Bible Quiz, which is held from September through May.
We also try serving our shut-ins. Every
year between Thanksgiving & Christmas we prepare holiday baskets for our members that
can not come to services. We have members of the congregation bring fruit, treats, stamps,
cards & envelopes. We also travel to these members homes to encourage them with song
and prayer.
Visitation Program
Visitors, who request a visit, are visited at home by one or two members. Members also
visit shut-ins, the sick and those in hospitals.
Bible Correspondence Courses
Free Bible correspondence course are sent and graded by our
members. This study of God's Word is done through the mail. Currently students from all
over the world are enrolled. The study material is in the English language. The course is
produced by www.tftw.org.
Internet Presence
It is the hope of the brethren at Birdville, that this new medium can be used to promote
the Gospel. It is part of our outreach program to teach others about the Word of God by
offering free Bible correspondence courses. It is also being used to introduce the
Birdville church of Christ to our neighbors both locally and around the world.
Television Programs:
In Search Of The Lord's Way
Truth In Love
Birdville helps to support two television programs. The
Truth In Love program is locally produced and has included as its speaker our minister.
These programs can be viewed on many cable systems, local television broadcasts, and on
satellite broadcasts.
