Nicaragua Team Announcement

Hey Team,

Our meeting which was scheduled for 6pm-7pm this Sunday night will now be from 7pm-8pm. We are doing this to allow those of you involved with Trek/Journey to do both.

If your parents will be attending a home group Sunday night they can drop you off at the church a little before 6. I will be here and we'll hang out in the dining room next to the gym until the meeting starts.

To repeat


OUR MEETING SUNDAY NIGHT IS NOW 7PM TO 8PM IN THE YOUTH ROOM!

Bring your copy of "Walking His Trail". You should have read chapters 1 and 2 as well as the intro.

We will discuss ministry teams during our meeting. So be thinking about what you'd like to be involved in as far as VBS programing, music, sports, puppets etc.

If you haven't sent out your support letters you need to do that ASAP.

See you Wednesday!

Justin

I'm wearing flip flops...

...I know you don't actually care if I'm wearing flip flops or not, but flip flops mean that its getting warmer!
Hey since I've got your attention I wanted to share some about some of the stuff that's going on over the next several weeks and recap some of our recent teaching!

Dan Ernst just finished a series on knowing that our identity is in Christ as sons and daughters of the King! He encouraged us to allow this truth to spread through every area of our lives and let it impact how we live. He also promised old videos of me from my high school days, but did not deliver. : )

On Wednesdays we've digging into some questions from the teens. We looked at how the GOSPEL should impact our relationships. If we are letting the gospel change all of us, it will show in our relationships with our parents and friends. It will impact our decisions regarding our sexual purity and how we treat our significant others. The Gospel changes all of us when we understand why Christ died. We were reminded that Christ didn't die to save us from Hell. He died to provide Holy Spirit driven Gospel centered lives that cause people to look on us with awe and wonder when they see what God is doing in our lives!

I hope you followed all of that. : ) If not, we're talking about Angels, Satan and Demons for the next few weeks on Wednesdays.
This Sunday we start into the book of Philippians.
