Departure: Meet in the church parking lot by 5:15 p.m.
How are we getting there? Middle School will travel by church vans and possibly in an adult leader's car. Sr. Highs are allowed to drive if they wish. Please notify me if you do not want your sr. high to have any other youth in the car with them or would rather they ride in the van. Just playing it safe! We will have a church van for sr. highs who do not drive, and possibly a couple adult leaders will drive their cars as well. Still working on this part.
Back to the church: We should be back home by 8:00 p.m.

Middle School Youth Group - Defining "Neighbor"

Luke 10:25-37 (The Message)

Defining "Neighbor" 25 Just then a religion scholar stood up with a question to test Jesus. "Teacher, what do I need to do to get eternal life?"

26He answered, "What's written in God's Law? How do you interpret it?"

27He said, "That you love the Lord your God with all your passion and prayer and muscle and intelligence—and that you love your neighbor as well as you do yourself."

28"Good answer!" said Jesus. "Do it and you'll live."

29Looking for a loophole, he asked, "And just how would you define 'neighbor'?"

30-32Jesus answered by telling a story. "There was once a man traveling from Jerusalem to Jericho. On the way he was attacked by robbers. They took his clothes, beat him up, and went off leaving him half-dead. Luckily, a priest was on his way down the same road, but when he saw him he angled across to the other side. Then a Levite religious man showed up; he also avoided the injured man.

33-35"A Samaritan traveling the road came on him. When he saw the man's condition, his heart went out to him. He gave him first aid, disinfecting and bandaging his wounds. Then he lifted him onto his donkey, led him to an inn, and made him comfortable. In the morning he took out two silver coins and gave them to the innkeeper, saying, 'Take good care of him. If it costs any more, put it on my bill—I'll pay you on my way back.'

36"What do you think? Which of the three became a neighbor to the man attacked by robbers?"

37"The one who treated him kindly," the religion scholar responded.
Jesus said, "Go and do the same."
