Youth News week of June 29th

Here is what's going on this week 6/29.

Last week we continued our summer program, "Marvel Week #2: Gifts & Talents-Our Super Powers"

We read the bible story of the four friends who carried the paralytic to Jesus. Because of the huge crowd they had to rip a hole in the roof of the home where Jesus was at and lower him down. It was because of the faith the friends had that Jesus healed the paralyzed person. We also read the scripture where Paul shares all the various gifts that God gives us:

-Wise Counsel                                 -Clear Understanding                                      -Simple Trust                                       -Healing the Sick

-Miraculous Acts                              -Proclamation                                                    -Interpretation of Tongues

Some questions we discussed were:

-How did the four friends show radical faith? How were they a hero for their friend?

-Why does God give us each different gifts?

This Week:

Think about the gifts and talents you have!
