The Walk 8-24-13

1 John 2:6 (HCSB)  

The one who says he remains in Him should walk just as He walked.

 
Hope you all have had a great summer, I know we have enjoyed spending time with our kids while school was out. Now things are getting back to "normal" everyone is getting in their school year groove. We will start getting these news letters out more timely as we are settling in to the school year too.
 
To get you up to speed- This summer we have seen to an amazing thing, although we don't run busses in the summer time, the youth group didn't get any smaller. We've seen God bring in new faces as well as bring back some we've been missing and praying for. GOD IS SOOO GOOD! We THANK YOU for your prayers and support. We love our Church and all of you who support us, where ever you are. THANK YOU!
 
We are getting ready for our first Wednesday night on September 4th. The buses will be running, the food will be good, and students will encounter the living God.
 
I believe God is showing us something a little different than what we have been doing. We really feel as if God has built a Youth Group that is strong together- like family. A group that will have each others back, when the going gets tough. A group that is recognizing that both God and sin are all around us and that we must be aware of both. A group that recognizes that THEY are the Church.
 
Hebrews 3:6 But Christ is faithful as the Son over God’s house. And we are his house, if indeed we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope in which we glory.
 
Its is time for our Church to take up building His House- A time to walk as He did. To seek and save the lost. To love our neighbors as our selves. To be like John- the voice of one crying out in the wilderness- Make straight the way for the Lord.
 
We are the Church-We are followers of Christ, the risen Son of God.
 
We'll see you soon- Love, David, Krista, the boys, and the Youth at Mehan.
