Don’t forget the Youth Christmas Party this Sunday from 6-7:30. Bring a white elephant gift, something that you already own. There will be the usual (food, prizes, live music, yadda yadda). I need EVERYONE who is coming to RSVP. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT

There will be no MYF Sunday the 27th. Enjoy the day with family.

Sunday the 3rd, All youth are invited to my home for a time of fellowship, food, etc.

Prayer breakfasts resume Tuesday the 5th. Invite your friends from school. I’ll buy them breakfast! You heard me right.

Jan 10th I need ALL THE YOUTH present at MYF. Yes, this should be happening every week, but especially Jan 10th. We will have a representative from Habitat for Humanity coming to speak with us about fundraising and I need all Youth present. See you all there.

Jan 16th, HIGH SCHOOL RETREAT! I need to know RIGHT NOW, LIKE RIIIIIGHT NOOOOWWW, if you plan to go. The price is 65$ if you get in the payment before the 10th. It is $75 after that. We will be staying at the Simpsonwood Lodge in Norcross. Yeah, it’s a lodge, not a campsite. It’s nice, people. Oh, and tell me your t-shirt sizes.

And now, here’s the biggie. Saturday, Jan 23rd, is going to be something brand new. I’m setting up a Youth Event called “Reconcile 2010″, possibly an annual event (we’ll see how this one goes). It will consist of a service day at the Adkins home and other community projects, and then a meal back at the church, followed by a concert. I am having an amazing praise band and guest speaker travel to Warner Robins for this, so yes… people are coming here just to minister to you guys. I’m encouraging all youth to participate. I’m actually attempting to get multiple youth groups to participate. This is an open invitation to all youth from the community. All your friends from school, all your friends from other churches, and anyone who loves ministry and loves to worship Jesus. This is a community effort. RSVP for this as well. I need you guys for this one.

That is all for now. I love you all more than you know. God bless you and have a safe and amazing day.

Still Hungry?

86 Books… haha!

Of David. A psalm.

1 The earth is the LORD’s, and everything in it,
the world, and all who live in it;
2 for he founded it upon the seas
and established it upon the waters.

3 Who may ascend the hill of the LORD ?
Who may stand in his holy place?

4 He who has clean hands and a pure heart,
who does not lift up his soul to an idol
or swear by what is false.

5 He will receive blessing from the LORD
and vindication from God his Savior.

6 Such is the generation of those who seek him,
who seek your face, O God of Jacob.
Selah

Remember that we all belong to God.  This may make us feel better about ourselves (hopefully) but it should also reveal how God sees other people.  Once we realize other people are unique creations of God as well (and that God owns them as well) we can begin to see others as just as important and just as cherished by God as we are.  See each other through God’s eyes.
