Here's what is going on this week 1/11.
Last week:
We had a great youth group meeting where we focused on what we needed to let go and give to God. It's important that before we make a Covenant with ourselves and God we release anything that will keep us from following that promise.
We had a good crew of people go to Wesley UMC and participate in the "Loaves & Fishes" program. Thank you to all who participated!
This Week: We'll continue our 2-week "New Year Covenant" youth program.
New Year’s CovenantAs the New Year arrives we strain ourselves to find something “challenging” enough to be a new year’s resolution. Inevitably our resolution lasts a couple weeks and then it becomes too inconvenient for us to follow any longer and we stop. The resolution usually fails because we have no accountability to anyone but ourselves, there is no community cheering us on or helping us get through the difficult times. This year instead of a resolution we will look to follow a New Year’s Covenant. Covenant is a promise, it is a spiritual commitment, and we have our friends, family, and God cheering us on!
Youth Group this week: Week #2: Covenant for the Future
Our covenant is our promise to ourselves and to God. The key piece to this is faith. We must have faith in God and faith in the covenant that God has with us. The promise God has in us in fully realized when we create a community that cares for each other. This week we will create a Covenant for 2010 and our community will confirm that promise with each other.
