Crop Walk

Hey gang! Don't forget that Crop Walk is this Sunday. Wear your Xtreme Disciples T-Shirt and something comfortable to walk in. We will leave shortly after church. Don't forget that we will have Youth Group that night as well. Invite your friends to walk with you. Hope to see you all on Sunday!

Boy howdy, did we have fun at the Xtreme Disciples Costume Party. We had some unexpected guests drop in. Who would have thought that former president Richard M. Nixon would have come to a youth costume party? Pretty amazing! We also had J.D. from Scrubs, one of the Three Musketeers, and an extra from the Lord of the Rings. Congratulations to Chris Morris for winning the costume contest. Also congratulations to everyone who stuck their head in a bucket for the apple bobbing contest. It was a lot of fun!

Howdy Friends! Youth was really cool this Sunday. After chowing down on some pizza, we played an intense game of Jungle Pong. (Is that right Travis?) A game that moves quicker than light itself. Hey, and speaking of light we looked at Matthew Chapter 6 verses 22-23. The eye is the lamp of the body. We discussed what Jesus was talking about when he said this and what it means to us. What do we spend our time looking at? Are we looking at things that are beneficial to us and draw us closer to Christ, or do we fill ourselves with darkness. It was a great discussion.

Next Sunday is our Costume Party. This is a great opportunity to bring a friend to youth group. There will be apple bobbing, pumpkin carving, and crazy fun games. Hope to see all of you there!

Don't forget to raise money for Crop Walk!

In Christ,

Paul

Thanks for checking the blog! Well, this Sunday was a lot of fun. We made beards with shaving cream and saw how many Cheerios we could stick to them. Andy Bell was our big winner with 65. It was pretty fantastic.
It was great to have a praise and worship time led by Travis. It really set the tone for the night. Our lesson was on Peter and concluded our series "The Big Struggle." This lesson was on the struggle to forgive. We examined the gospel of John Chapter 21. Peter has returned to fishing after all of his experiences with Christ. Is this the Rock that Jesus said that he was going to build His church on? Jesus reinstates Peter, but Peter still has to forgive himself and become the man that Jesus has called him to be...when he said, "Follow me!" A great lesson for all of us.

Have a great week! See you on Sunday.

Sunday Night

If you missed youth group tonight, you missed some real action. Caleb is the all-time four square champion of the world. As king, he reigned for fifteen serves! Tonight we talked about what it means to follow Christ, and not just hidden in the darkness, but during the day as well. We are to live a life so that others can see the work of God inside of us. I can't wait until next week!

Welcome!

What up, youth!



Xtreme Disciples now has their own blog! This will be the place where you can go to get all of the up-to-date information on youth activities. It is also a place that you can share your comments and we can remain connected during the week. We can post our pictures from youth group meetings and discuss topics from the previous Sunday. Are you as excited as I am? This is your place to hang out!



I wanted remind you guys of some activities coming up for the youth group.



November 2



Crop Walk: This is a great opportunity to help those who are less fortunate that us....Don't forget to start asking your Pep's for donations. We will be walking right after church on November 2. Remember that our goal is to reach $1000 smackeroos! So let's do what we can to raise as many smackeroos as possible.





Also....



We need a date for the Yard Sale. We have all of the stuff, we just need a date and time that everyone can be there. So sound off in the comment section. Remember...we get to keep all of the proceeds. We can do whatever we want with the money for the youth room... or a party...or whatever you want.





Tonight we finished Lesson 5 in THE BIG STRUGGLE. We discussed how Nicodemus went to Jesus during the night? Nicodemus struggled to understand these new concepts about who God is and what he was doing through Jesus. This week ask God to help you open your mind up to whatever He wants to teach you.


I thank God for each one of you. Thank you for your commitment to this group and to following Christ.

Let me know how we can improve this blog. Send me a comment!


In Christ,


Paul
