Final Afterglow... This Wednesday

From Ice-Cream to Soccer, from bonfires to hide-n-seek, Ive had a blast hanging out with everyone after youth on Wednesdays this summer. Now you have one week to enjoy before furthering your scholastic careers, back to school. But, we have one more afterglow, join us this Wednesday as we go to Harrodsburg to play par 3 golf. If you've never played, this is the perfect opportunity to learn. If you don't want to play, it's the perfect opportunity to play amatuer photographer and get to laugh at me trying to play!!! We will leave after youth. Bring 7 or 8 dollars if you want to play. Also try to round up a putter, 7 iron, 9 iron..... no big deal if you can't we'll find you one, or share.

Something to think about....

James 4:8-10 Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.

When was the last time that you were sincerely saddened by your own sinfulness?
When last were you ashamed of your sinful actions, even when no one knew of them?
There is very little broken-ness over our sin. We have become people who are very flippant toward sin. We wink at it, joke about it ... yet these are the very things that God despises, that Jesus paid for on the cross. Have we become so numb to our own sin and the sin around us that it no longer bothers us .......... May God grant us repentance!

Psa 119:136 My eyes shed streams of tears, because people do not keep your law.

Going Retro......

Sure to make you laugh, say wow and maybe even cry. What. Old Pictures I've dug out and posted under retro....just to your right here. Ready to have some flashbacks? Take the opportunity to pray for or maybe even call some of the people you'll be reminded of in these pictures........... Enjoy.

Grace, Humility and Resistance

“God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. James 4:6-7

Last week we talked alot about the grace of God, undeserved favor that He shows us. Again this week the grace of God will be the focus o four bible study as we discuss what it means to submit ourselves to God and resist the devil.....

Now for a little biblical scavenger hunt. Read Ephesians 6:11-18. Now discover as many techniques for resisting the devil as you can from those verses..... Can you find 3,4,5...... See you tonight.

This Friday... July 24th

Just to let you guys know that Live Fish & Seventh Day Slumber will be playing in Stanford this Friday. We will be taking a van from church leaving around 7pm. Hope to see ya there. It will probably last until around 11.

Bible / Video Sunday Night at 6

I was so encouraged by the drama that the youth performed during VBS that it has motivated me to try and provide another opportunity for youth to serve the church through drama. Beginning this Sunday night at 6 we will have a 3 week Bible study / Video production. The song that we will use is 'The Motions' by Matthew West. There is a link to the song and original video under our videos on the side of this page. Begin to consider these questions.... what is the message of this song, in what ways do believers tend to go through the motions, in what way are you just going through the motions........ I am looking forward to Sunday night when we can sit down and study Gods' Word together and get started on this video. I would love to see everyone involved.

Afterglow TONIGHT...Millineum Park

Summer is winding down, sorry to remind you of that! But we still have a few more Wednesday nights to hangout after youth on Wednesdays! Tonight we will be going to Millineum Park for a little hide and seek action, and of course McDonalds for a Caramel Sundae! So bring a couple of dollars, or maybe Josh will pay for yours! Next week Josh and Jayme will be planning our Afterglow.............hmmmm. July 29th, the following Wedneesday, the youth will get to plan Afterglow...so, got any ideas! Let me know!

Youth Tonight !!!!

You adulterous people, don't you know that friendship with the world is hatred toward God? Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. Or do you think that Scriptures says without reason that the spirit he caused to live in us envies intensely? But He gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. James 4:4-6

Adventures in Space

Let me just say. I am very, very, very proud of everyone who has been involved with the nightly dramas at VBS this week. It is so awesome to see you all working together and hanging out together serving God through drama. Erica, we will miss you tonight, just won't be the same without that little nerdy robot voice! Tonight will wrap everything up!

Oh yeah, you may want to ask Erica what she found in her purse....yummy, yummy!

The CREW

Is it just me or do some of these gunfighters look familiar?

Faithbuilding Relationships....

Keep on considering the truths that we talked about last night from scriptures. The relationships that you choose to have will have drastic impacts on your faith. You will be shaped by the people that are nearest to you. Wise = God fearing, foolish = indifferent to God. I encourage you to work to develop those relationships that honor God. 'be faithful to worship, serve, forgive quickly, pray for one another, hold each other accountable, and just make time to hang out'.
