Fruit of the Spirit: Love & Peace

2010-09-29T11:08:00.000-07:00

Last week we started a series on the Fruit of the Spirit and we began with some foundational work. In order to understand the importance of the Fruit of the Spirit, we need to understand and grasp on to what Jesus has done for us. Last week, we looked at Jesus and the main points are:

Jesus came to set us free
He endured the cross for us, so we would be made right with God the Father
we can't earn salvation, it is a gift from God
we need to accept that gift
character - out of the outpouring of the heart speaks the mouth. Matt. 12:34

This is the setting for this week as we continue to talk on character. We are talking about Love & Peace. They are big topics, but I look forward to exploring them with you.

See you at the Hub, Wed. @7:30

Healthy Sexuality

2010-05-10T11:57:00.001-07:00

This week is a really exciting topic for me and yet it is a very tough topic to talk about.
This we are having speaker coming out from crisis pregnancy center in Winnipeg to talk
about healthy sexuality.
He is going talk about absence, what the media is telling us, God's plan for sex.

I feel this is a very important topic and am excited to deal with it in our youth ministry.

concert

2010-05-06T08:49:00.000-07:00

Do to the bad weather I needed to cancel our time in the park.

which is really to bad but I am looking at rescheduling it.

so instead we and went and helped support the pleasant valley Youth group in Rosenort who

2010-04-22T09:19:00.001-07:00

Last Night we had a Bible Study at the Hub, we had a few the SEVEC students from Quebec out and that was really good.
we started the evening off with a Game, they need to make a tower out of balloons and it needed
to be the tallest and the strongest. this was a lot of fun.
the point of the game was to illustrate the story in Matt. 7 about the wise and foolish builders.
that we need to build our house on the rock.

it was a really good bible study illustrating that our lives need to stand for something and if
we are not built on the rock our house will collapse.

alright cool.

Next week is a service night, we are going to be doing random acts of kindness around Altona as well as some of the group will be going to MCC in Plum Coulee. meeting at the hub @ 7:00 PM

Bible Study

2010-04-15T14:09:00.001-07:00

This week at youth we had a bible study and the topic was on Identity.

We had Roger Neufeld come and speak to us and it was really Good.

He spoke on what makes us men and women and how we are different from each other.

but the main point was that God created us and has made us special and we are special just

the way that we are.

It was a really good bible study and hopefully people left with a better understanding of how

special they really are.
