Just wanted to take a minute to share a few important updates:
There will be No youth group this Saturday June 15th, as the youth ministry staff (along with many other ministry teams) has been asked to join the deacons for a special meeting of many of ministry leaders and church volunteers.
Instead of switching to our summer schedule on the 17th, we will have regular Youth Group (aka 24/7) on the 22nd to make up for not having youth group on the 15th.
Also, in case you missed out Saturday night, we heard some fantastic stories from people who had practiced the Private Discipline of "Pray, Read, Think, Write, Pray" (PRTWR) this week. (I especially loved Abby's story about a tough situation with a teacher, and how some verses from Proverbs got her through it.) We talked about our priorities again, and threw out the challenge to write down what you think your priorities should be, then see how much time you spend actually doing the things you say are important. If you aren't sure what your priorities should be, then just keep track of what you actually do, and you'll find out what your priorities are.
Remember - God's priority for my life is that I become more like Jesus.
If we say that we love God with all of our Heart Soul Mind and Strength, and our Neighbor as ourself, but our actions don't back it up, we have a problem. As we read in James, "Faith without actions is dead."
So while it is good to know what do you believe. It is more important to be able to describe how what you believe impacts what you do. After all "It is useless to know truth if you have no intention of doing anything about it."
