Hey Guys! Hope your summer is going well, and you're taking advantage of all the free time that you have to spend time with God in his word! He's amazing, he'll change your life!
My summer has been full of family, friends, fishing, attending a conference, meeting with people, thinking and praying about what God wants for Junior and Senior Youth in Fall, and spending a lot of time with him! In his word, prayer, fasting, and worship! God is so good guys! I'm excited to be able to finally share and hang out with all of you again in Fall!
I want your input! Parents and youth.
What is the best way for me to communicate with you about what's happening for youth?
a) Facebook updates?
b) Blog posts?
c) Phone calls?
d) A Google Calendar that you can access?
e) A newsletter sent home a few times a year?
What is the best way I can update you all in regards to cancellations due to weather, or other unforeseen circumstances?
a) Facebook updates?
b) Blog posts?
c) Phone calls?
d) A Google Calendar that you can access?
e) A newsletter sent home a few times a year?
Please comment on this post, or on facebook and let me know which way works best for you, I want everyone to know what's happening!
God loves each one of you, he sent Jesus so that your sins could be destroyed and you could be redeemed to right-standing and relationship with him. That relationship is one of rest, not of striving, because if we try to make it about what we do in order to receive the free gift he's already given us, then we're deceived about the truth! God is good. He loves you. He's forgiven your sins through Jesus. All you have to do is believe that Jesus is real and he did what he said he did. His love for you is unstoppable! Have a great day!

God's word is alive!!!!!!!
Food for thought
Deuteronomy 8:3 - Yes, he humbled you, by letting you go hungry and then feeding you with manna, a food previously unkown to you and your ancestors. He did it to teach you, that people do not live by bread alone; rather, we live by every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD."
We need to be spend time in the Word of God in order to nourish our souls. God wants to feed your soul. If you believe Jesus came and gave up his life as a sacrifice for your sins, and decide that you really want to turn to God rather than those things our sinful desires lead us toward for satisfaction; the Holy Spirit can use God's word to remind us of the truth! We need to be inputting truth, if we want our thoughts to align with the truth!
Matthew 17: 20-21 NLT - "You don't have enough faith," Jesus told them. "I tell you the truth, if you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it would move. Nothing would be impossible."
This is part of a story where the disciples try to cast out a demon, and fail. They ask Jesus why they couldn't do it, and this is what he says. It is hard to have faith in someone if you don't trust them, and it's hard to trust someone if you don't know them. It's hard to know someone unless you spend time getting to know them. Facebook helps us to know what people are like by the things that they post, like, follow, share, and the things that they are tagged in, posted about them, etc. The Bible is Jesus Facebook Page!!!! It tells us all about him. The Old Testament is full of "posts" about "the coming messiah" (messiah, meaning savior) who is Jesus! The New Testament even has "posts" of stories Jesus told, things he said, and things he did! How much more we can know him when we "creep his facebook!" That combined with spending time praying, and listening to the Holy Spirit whom he sends us when we decide to give our lives over to him, then we can really have faith in who he is, and what he's like!

This week at Senior Youth!
This week at Senior youth! Guys and Girls are doing separate things!
Guys, we'll meet in the Church Kitchen and we're making Pita Pizzas! So bring your favorite pizza toppings! I'll be doing a short Devo, and we'll be watching some Duck Dynasty!
Girls, I believe you are meeting at 7 at the Youth Center, and I'm not entirely sure what your plan is! Cassie Giesbrecht might be able to give you details? I heard a rumor about possibly going to Clay Owl in Winkler to paint pottery (bring $$), and if that's not happening, I believe you're doing a Movie Night in the Youth Center. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Have a sweet Tuesday!
