The God of Comfort

If you missed youth on Sunday night, you missed a great game of Sardines. We certainly found ourselves in all new places to hide and new ways to contort our bodies.

For our lesson we discussed how God is a God who comforts us in our time of need. We discussed examples of times that God comforted some of our Bible heroes like, Moses, David, and Daniel. We also talked about how God comforts us today, so that we can comfort those around us. Tonight the group looked at 2 Corinthians 3-7 and we may not be thrown in lion's den or a fiery furnace but each of us go through hard times. We know that God will be there when this happens and that we can share this with those around us.

Join us next week and bring your friends.

An All-Night Adventure

Sumo Wrestling....Check! Q-Tip target practice....You betcha! Duct Taping a fifth grader to the wall...It must be a church lock-in! At about 3:00 a.m. that I start asking myself, "Why am I doing this?" Sure it is fun watching as the X-treme Disciples drop off one by one as they try their best to stay awake. The weak ones always go first! At least we had a great time, staying up as long as we could and not to mention that Kellie and Andy did a great job giving their testimonies. The two spoke about how they came to a relationship with God and how our youth group has played a vital role in their lives. Their words were very encouraging!



Remember that there is no youth group on Sunday night or on Easter Sunday. Take this opportuinty to catch up on your sleep, do your homework, or practice your Soccer-Square moves! We will resume youth group again on April 19 with a whole new lesson series. I hope everyone remembers to bring your friends.



See you all soon!

Xtreme Lock-In

Hello friends. I wanted to remind you all of the youth-led lock-in this Friday, April 3, 2009 at First Christian Church. We will start the evening at 8 p.m. and finish 8 a.m. It will be a full night of fun activities, crazy games, and a time to build meaningful relationships. This is a great activity that you will want to bring your friends to. There will be good food, exciting prizes, and a talk at midnight (Kellie and Andy, two of our own youth, will be giving a short talk on their experiences with the youth group.) I hope that everyone can come.
