April 27: Fourthweek.

Most of the leaders aren't going to be able to make it to youth group this week, because different stuff has come up for each of us...

Therefore, it is time for our first fourthweek under the new leaders!

Have fun!

The Rich Man and Lazarus

Sorry that it's taken me so long to post next week's lesson.

I'll be teaching again this week, as Jared's still helping his family as his mom's in the hospital.

This weeks parable will be The Rich Man and Lazarus, found in Luke 16:19-31.

Have a great Easter, and I'll see you all Monday!

The Gospel according to Facebook

My friend Ben S. posted this, it's a really interesting Facebook style depiction of the passion week: http://canter.s437.sureserver.com/fbp/facebookpassion.pdf

Be sure to check that out.

Have a fabulous Easter.

Being in youth ministry, I read a lot of books and stuff about youth ministry. One of the guys who is a leading guru in the field is Marko Ostreicher, president of Youth Specialties, who wrote the best book I've ever read on the topic (Youth Ministry 3.0). I read Marko's blog. And the other day he posted this video:





I thought y'all might like it. I thought it was pretty good.

Pray for Stephanie and her Family

From Stephanie Mace:

My grandfather died last night. He had surgery for a aneurysm earlier in the week and seem to be doing well, but took a turn for the worse last night. He was a very strong Christian and a former pastor and church planter.

I will be travelling to Virginia at some point for the funeral. I do not know the details yet. I would appreciate prayers for my family, especially my mom and grandmother.

Parable Series, Week 2

Hi gang!

Happy April Fool's day!

Next week's lesson is going to be on Matthew 22:1-14, The Parable of the Wedding Feast. So try to read the passage, and maybe the context (like Matthew 21-23), and if you have time and feel up to it, take some notes of your observations. And be sure to write down any questions you have.

Travis is going to be leading, and we're going to be doing a lot more discussing that the past two weeks, since we aren't hearing a sermon before this lesson.

Be praying for Jared's mom. The doctors still don't know what's wrong, and she's still in the hospital. And pray for Anna, as she has a heart monitor for the next two weeks, which is no fun at all, and the doctors are still trying to figure out what's wrong in that case too.

See y'all Sunday!
