Youth Group Announcements for 2/4/2013

Hi Everyone!

So... I've been really busy at work, and I've had to push through some of my lunches the past couple of weeks.  Don't get me wrong, I enjoy what I do, and I enjoy who I work with.  I just want everyone to know why I haven't had time to post any updates on the blog lately.  Anyway, onto the updates.

After today's post, I'm going to make more frequent updates, but they will be much shorter than normal.  I realize that by sending out long messages, people might not read them entirely.  So, I will be condensing the posts and increasing the frequency, in an attempt to keep everyone up-to-date and informed.

LAKE CHAMPION ANNOUNCEMENT!

Ok, I think that will get everyone's attention.  I made the Lake Champion Announcement two Sunday's ago, and I started handing out sign-up sheets.  Please contact me to receive a sign up sheet.  There is detailed information regarding Lake Champion on the Events and Calendar page.  (If it's not there now, it will be up soon.  I'm going to that page next.)

I NEED YOUR HELP:

I need your help.  I am currently doing a series called "Faith in the American Civil War."  After the series is done, I have run out of ideas.  This is where you come in to help me.  I need ideas on topics, discussions, activities, events, or really anything for the Youth Group.  I'm going to start asking you for your input every Sunday, and I'm going to use as many of your ideas as possible.

These ideas can be about anything; Verse by Verse through a certain book.  Topical studies.  We can do activities that teach through doing instead of sitting and listening.  How often do you want a Youth Group party?  I want your ideas.  So, get your ideas ready, because I'll be asking for them.

FAITH IN THE AMERICAN CIVIL WAR:

I continued my study on "Faith in the American Civil War" yesterday.  We reviewed Isaiah 10: 1-4 and 2 Corinthians 5:1.  Then I showed the first 45 minutes of Gods and Generals (we made it through The First Battle of Bull Run/Battle of Manasas).  

Next week, we will continue where we left off, and make it through the Battle of Fredericksburg.

That's all for now.  Check back later for more information.
