MYF this week!

Junior High -- great fun with marshmallow guns. We learned that another of God's purposes for our lives is to be part of His family. We need to be part of the Chritian family so that we can grow in our relationship with God and we can use the gifts that God gave us to minister to others.

High School -- The way Jesus lived, died and rose again was God's master plan...His ways and thoughts are way bigger than ours.

See You at The Pole -- took place on Sept. 24

I am so incredibly proud of you ladies! It takes some courage to stand up for God in a public way. I know that there weren't many of you there, but you were very mighty. I am reminded of the story of Elijah on Mount Carmel (check out 1 Kings 18:16-46 to get the whole story). Here is cliff notes version....Elijah, one man of God, challenged 850 false prophets to a test. The test was to have the true God rain fire down from heaven and start a sacrifice burning. Guess who won the test.....you are right.....our God and His man Elijah. So I give God praise for the work He is doing in your lives and the courage you had to publically lift up Jesus!

What we learned at Junior High MYF this week: We were planned for God's pleasure. We honor God by giving Him worth and focus; and God gives us strength. Practically speaking, we talked about honoring God with our time, by giving Him praise in public, and giving Him devotion. I challenged the students to spend the first couple of minutes each morning talking to God, thanking Him and asking Him for strength and guidance for the day.

What we learned at High School MYF this week: We worked on the second chapter of Jesus with Dirty Feet. There were a couple of main points that we learned: (1) Jesus was all about being in relationship with others, especially the unrighteous and sinners, (2) the teachings of Jesus are tough to hear at times, but we need to apply all of them to our lives. We can't pick and choose what teachings we live by.

Upcoming Events:
See You At The Pole -- this Wednesday (9/24) at 7:30 at Glenn Raymond and WCHS. Meet up with other students to pray for your school, classmates, each other, etc. Donuts and juice will be provided.

Team150 -- this is an opportunity to learn some new ways to express our worship to God. The first thing we will learn is sign language to a song. Our first meeting is Oct. 5 from 5-5:30 in the church basement.

Sunday Night Alive!!
Hawaiian Luau --We had a great time playing limbo, pictionary, hula hoops and more. We even were able to watch a clip from The Lion King because the devo for the night was about not worrying. In the movie clip we watched the song Hakuna Matata and in Hawaii they say 'Hang Loose'; in our Christian walk we listen to Jesus when he comforts us not to worry, but to trust in Him. It was a great night, hope you can join us next time...Oct. 5.
