Photo scavenger hunt video!


What a fantastic evening we had at Jr youth tonight! 

Every evening before Jr youth begins, us leaders meet in the basement to talk and pray about our evening, and it never fails brings a smile to my face as I listen to the immense amount of energy waiting for us when we come up those stairs. Its like walking into an ocean wave... you've gotta brace yourself, and then jump right in!

Thanks tonight to Kyle for leading our Bible study. He did a great job reminding us that its okay to acknowledge our gifts and talents, without being arrogant about them. He also helped us understand what God sees when he sees us, and a reminder to love ourselves for who he made us to be. 

Thanks to Kristen for setting up the Photo Scavenger Hunt last weekend, it turned out great! Here's a video to check out:

A Beautiful Pre-Winter Morning!

Good Morning Everyone! It's a beautiful day. Something that has been on my mind and heart this week, mostly because of the video series we're going through in our care group is fear. What are you afraid of? Something that Craig Groeschel said in the video this week struck me. If we fear something, it shows us what we value, but also the things that we have a tough time trusting God with. He also said that as we seek God more, he'll deliver us from all of our fears. He has seen this personally in his wife's life, and it's something that I hadn't thought of before. 2 Timothy 1:7 in the New Living Translation reads, "For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love and self-discipline." Praise God for his goodness!

Update:
The fundraising Lunch went well, our Church supports our youth group well! Thank you so much to everyone who came out to financially support us at the lunch, as well as the many people who pray for us daily, weekly, or whenever they think of us! We appreciate it hugely! Yesterday we had a gym night, we met at MCI and played games for the evening! It is amazing how much fun we can have running around and throwing dodgeballs at each other! I think that it's important to recognize how even just using our bodies can be a way of worshipping God. Honoring the gift of a working physical body, by using it to enjoy life is important! Today I am thankful for my health! And...nobody got injured yesterday, so praise the Lord for that!

What's coming up??
