All Parents of Youth are welcome to come and be heard. We will be reviewing and editing our program's three visioning documents regarding the future of the program.
All Senior High Youth (grades 9-12) are welcome to come and join us in Open Door to watch a movie! Popcorn, soda, and all other sorts of junk food will be available.
You join a church. You attend as much as you can. You give them your money. You give them your time. You put God as your first priority – you are giving up other things to be in this place at that time. The question that comes to my mind is: What’s in it for me? What do I get from it all?
When I was in seminary I had a history professor who used the metaphor of a pendulum swinging back and forth to describe controversies in the church. When people don’t like something, they swing way to the other side, sometimes too far.
A lot of times in life, we look back at the mistakes of the past – and we do our best to avoid those mistakes in the future. This is the point of history, but sometimes we take it too far. (Think about the lesson behind Finding Nemo)
Today, more than ever before, society challenges us in our priorities.
Sports, school, clubs, college applications, family vacations, scholarships, part time jobs, homework, church programs – our children are overwhelmed! Oh yeah, and how about some fun thrown in there too. (They are kids after all).
The truth of the matter is that there simply are not enough hours in a day, nor days in a week, to get it all done. Something is going to get cut. We are forced to prioritize.
All are invited to start the Lenten season by attending our Ash Wednesday service from 7pm-8pm on March 5. This service will be held in the Sanctuary.
