M-PRESSIONS
Each New
Year I get kind of excited about all the things that will happen
throughout the next year. I get excited about seeing who will accept
Christ, who will join the church, who will make a new commitment to
serving God. I like to think about all the things the youth group will
experience. From bowling trips to youth conventions, summer camps to
days at the lake, each year has a lot of things that happen.
This year is
no different. The first major trip of this year belongs to the Jr. High
youth group. Each spring we pack our bags and head down to Anderson,
Indiana for a weekend of fun, but most importantly a weekend of
worship. The “Believe” conference is just as its name suggests, a
conference dedicated to showing kids that Jesus Christ is real and that
he died for them. Its goal is to get kids to believe, and not just
believe, but act on that belief.
This year’s
trip will be April 16th & 17th. We will once
again pack our bags and leave school early on Friday to go down and
begin our weekend away from the pressures of school. We will take a
road trip, swim, eat good food, worship till we are tired, then open up
the word of God and see what He has to say. This weekend will energize
our spirit to lead our friends to Christ. I have been blessed to be
able to take kids to this event for the past few years, and I am excited
about going again this year. I cannot stress enough how impactful this
weekend can be.
So here you
sit with a decision: should I go or not? You can trust me when I say
if you choose to go, you will not regret it. Even if you are new to the
church, and may not know me or the kids in the youth group, I promise
you will have a great time learning in God’s word, and being encouraged
by each of us. Take a chance, sign up, and have a weekend that you will
remember.
In
Christ,
Mark Walter~
