Elijah served to the very end. What does it take to be a servant, a minister, all the way to the end?
- Listen to God
- Have godly friends
- Be ready for the unconventional
- Never give up
We had a great turn out of students. Huge amounts of chips and cookies were consumed. Students hung out together, some were out in the cold tossing the football. I watched students who are new to the youth group making connections with other students. I saw our adult youth leaders engaging in conversation with the students. Our youth band did a great job leading us in worship in music.
In the room behind us our Parent Pod was meeting. I "snuck" in at the end to take a peek at Pastor Tom and his group of parents who gather each week during Contagious youth and are currently doing a study on parenting teens. I look forward to what will come out of this group. They seemed excited to meet again together next week. You rock parents!!
Next Sunday is a "community" night. We are having Nachooooo night. Nachos and Nacho Libre on the big screen and tables set up with games. This hould be a fun night of students and leaders building relationships. Some schools of youth ministry thought would say, "What no Bible study? No worship?" Next week students and leaders will live out their Bible study as they apply connecting like the early church did. Isn't connecting with other believers to be an act of worship? Students have also been challenged to bring their unchurched friends, this will be a great night to introduce their friends to the youth group. Remember there is a purpose to this night. I explained this to the students last night. I'm working on helping them to understand why we do what we do.
