It was an afternoon packed with creativity, beautiful singing, lots of energy, yummy pizza and learning God's word.
We began with this cute art project: a devotional/prayer book. We know it was fun putting it together however the idea is for this little book to help you spend some time reading God's word and in prayer. Don't let it be one more book on your shelf. It's a book made by you, for you to enjoy and grow closer to the Lord. We'll decorate it a little more on November 7th, so make sure to bring it with you.
Didn't you all sound so wonderful as you sang "Holy is the Lord"? Well, we will be singing on November 21st at Presence. Please make a note of it. We have one more rehearsal on the 7th so don't miss it!
How about those games with coach Sara Bagwell? I'm sure those two games will help you remember what we learned from the YouthBytes video we watched:
Our Christian life is a race towards heaven.
As we race we need to develop endurance - We have to trust God to bring us across the finish line.
*We might fall down - We've got to pick ourselves up and continue to run. God will always bring someone to cheer and help us back up.
*We can't cheat our way to heaven.
*Winning is important but it is not always about winning. It's about how we run the race. God requires us to race through the principles he's placed inside of us: discipline, faithfulness, servanthood and sacrifice.
*Day after day, experience after experience, lap after lap trust in God and he "will complete the good work he has begun in us".
Have you taken the time to read God's Word and pray today?
See you on November 7th!
