Youth News week of Nov. 16

Here's what is going on this week 11/16.

 Last week:

  We covered the second week of the Thanksgiving program. Youth were able to make "building blocks" with the things they are thankful for written on each side. We discussed how life is more than the pursuit of material wealth, a truly rich life is comprised of the relationships we have with friends and family. Each day is made special when we spend time in the presence of what we are truly thankful for.

This Week: We continue our 3-week program on Thanksgiving. You don't want to miss this thought-provoking and fulfilling program.

As we leave behind the “season” of Halloween and fear we enter the “season” of Thanksgiving. The American holiday of Thanksgiving can sometimes mask the true state of being thankful for the abundance of blessings we enjoy in our lives and this country.

The next three weeks leading up to Thanksgiving, we’ll focus on what the holiday means to Christians.  There is an aspect of being thankful for all that God has provided for us, but included in this is a calling to share those blessings.  It is not enough to accept (or sometimes hoard) the blessings from God, we are to take those and bless others.

This program challenges us to see Thanksgiving, the holiday, as a state of being and not only as a day to stuff ourselves.
