Youth News: Jan. 9, 2020

Thursday July 2nd, 2020
02 Jul 2020

Dear Youth,
 
As some of you head back to school, I want to bless you with this truth from the New Testament from our TWA this morning. Matthew 7:24-27 says this,

24 “So then, everyone who hears my words and puts them into practice is like a wise man. He builds his house on the rock. 25 The rain comes down. The water rises. The winds blow and beat against that house. But it does not fall. It is built on the rock. 26 But everyone who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man. He builds his house on sand. 27 The rain comes down. The water rises. The winds blow and beat against that house. And it falls with a loud crash.” NIRV 
In this story, Jesus reminds us that He is the foundation that we need to build upon. Not for our own personal gain, but to know that without Him we are hopeless. How often do you take time today in reflecting the need for a savior? Yes, this might be good head knowledge to keep but do we understand this is our heart? As you go through your day, ask yourself this: What is it that my foundation (core being & principles) are built on? Is most of it on His words or is there some renovation that needs to take place today? Let’s continue to remind ourselves of His Goodness, youth family.
Blessings,

Sam

Cell Phone Policy for Lock-In
Dear Youth & Family,
The Lock-In is coming up soon and we are excited for the things we have planned. On this note, the Torchbearers (Student leaders) and Youth Ministry staff believe it is best to have a no cell phone policy throughout the Lock-In. If a student brings a phone, we will have a check in station to store phones until the time for parent pick up. If a student is caught sneaking in a phone and using it, we will ask the student to turn in the phone. If the issue becomes persistent and the student refuses to cooperate, we will ask parents to come and pick up the student regardless of the time of the incident. If you have any questions, please come talk to Pastor David or Sam. Thank you for your understanding and support on this matter.
