Last night we all just hung out together before dinner listening to a praise and worship CD that Elizabeth brought because we forgot ours. THANK YOU ELIZABETH!!!!!
We had 4 new kids. AJ, Braden, Rocio, and Jessica.....
We then proceeded to the prayer challenge with rock, paper, scissors. Brady and Summer battled mightily, although Brady was victorious. We had an amazing dinner with homemade mac-n-cheese and ham. WOW!!!! Kaleb's mom Deannette made us some homemade bread, suuuuper yummy!!!!
After dinner, we ventured into the sanctuary, where we continued with our lessons on Spiritual Warfare.We talked about the bibles view on angels and demons. We played a game called "angels and demons" where half of the youth were angels and good things to one another, while the other half was demons and said mean things, then we switched. We talked about which was easier, to be nice or mean, and why. We read many scriptures that dealt with angels and demons to allow the youth to recognize that we need to be careful where we get our information on these issues. That there are many television shows that glamorize the supernatural and our only source of truth is the Word of God.
We had a skit called "Lord Lord", performed by Eddie, who played Lord, Alicia, who played Laura an unforgiving servant, and Miranda who played the friend.
We collected $12.00 for our "sponsored" child, James, in Haiti.
James lives in the Northern part of Haiti, (and even though we have not heard from him), we are very sure he was not affected, directly, by the earthquake.
This Friday, the 22nd, the youth group will be taking a trip to Harrison to watch the movie "To Save A Life". We will be meeting another youth group from Golden, MO at the theater for some fellowship time. We will post a brief tid bit about the movie at the end..... The story line of the movie is at the end of this post.
We were also invited to attend "The Underground Church" in Green Forest, held at the First Baptist Church, Sat. Jan. 30th. This is an eye opening event/function for the youth to see and understand what believers have to go through in other countries to be able to go to church.....
We had an alter call where there was a great response from the youth.
STORY of To Save a Life Movie
Jake Taylor has it all: friends, fame, a basketball scholarship, and the hottest girl in school. What could be better?
Enter Roger Dawson. Roger has nothing. No friends. No hope. Nothing but put downs and getting pushed aside. Things couldn’t get any worse….. could they?
Jake and Roger were best friends when they were kids. But the politics of high school quickly pilled them apart. Now Roger doesn’t fit in to Jake’s—or anyone’s circle—and he’s had enough. He walks onto campus with a gun in his pocket and pain in his heart and makes a tragic move.
Jake’s last ditch effort can’t stop Roger, and the sudden tragedy rocks Jake’s world. Something breaks loose inside and sends him questioning everything. Most of all, he can’t shake the question, could I have Saved Roger?
