Youth Serving Those Who Serve

A message from the Session...

Dear Middle & Senior High Youth,

We sure did enjoy your thoughtful gift. The cookies are delicious and the boxes really made them festive. We are so fortunate to have you as team members doing service, being thoughtful and caring. Your enthusiasm for doing what Jesus would do is exciting. Keep up all the good work. Thank you so much.


Blessings to You,

The Session

Yout Group STILL ON!

YOUTH GROUP is STILL ON for this Sunday at regular time!

Sr. Highs, if you need directions to Matt and Lindsey's house for the our Christmas Party...here they are:

Head down Nelson Farm Road, when you hit the intersection of Nelson Farm Road and Lee Street, go across Lee Streen into the new subdivision. You see Nelson Meadow (??). It's your third right. Go to the end and you'll know which house from there!

To be broken, unbroken and NEW!

SUNDAY, DECEMBER 6th

Both Middle School & Sr. High took part in an activity that was a bit messy, a bit frustrating, and highly creative. Each youth, or a group of two or three, were given a clay pot symbolizing themselves. We then broke that perfectly shaped pot into many pieces only to put the pot back together. Interesting concept, huh? However, never did I say that putting the clay pot back together meant it had to look like it once was. Some chose to put the pot back together as close to the original form (however, there were still cracks and scars), some decided to make something new and creative, and some just got frustrated.

Objective: When we feel like we are lacking in “fruit,” and we feel “broken,” never should we be content in remaining broken. No Christian should ever seek to become broken in any way, either. How do we become unbroken? We need to remember that we don't always go back together the same way after being broken, and, actually, that is something to celebrate!
  • If your life has no fruit, then God wants to clean you.
  • If your life has some fruit, then God wants to prune you.
  • If your life has a lot of fruit, then God wants to abide more deeply with you.
