Hang Time went well with farkle and ping pong and just hanging out. We had the OBX Presbyterian youth group hang out with us tonight. Thanks to a student's birthday we had pizza and a cold stone creamery cake. (thanks Nancy!)
I think the 15 pizzas and cake for 50 were consumed incredibly fast. Observing the students in their natural habitat consuming the pizzas in less than 20 minutes was quite fascinating. :)
Tonight we looked at the importance for a believer to be connected to a local church. God has hardwired us to be relational. First our relationship with him and then second with others, and in that order. It is vital for believers to connect with other believers and what better way to do so then in a small group? God's design is for every follower of Christ to be part of a local church.
Some students go church hopping to participate in the youth group that has the latest and greatest thing going on. Some hop because of friendships or boyfriend/girlfriend. I reminded students that if they church hopped now they would become church hoppers as adults or even quit church all together. Some students learn to church hop from their parents or other adults that have in influence in their lives. Fellowship is part of our purpose and important that we teach this to students.
