Now moving on to November. The Youth room is just about complete--minus some finishing touches so it's time to get back into regular meetings. We'll start meeting again on Sunday November 7th at 3:30pm. Anyone 12 yrs old or in 7th grade on up is invited. We've revved up the youth room, now it's time to rev up the group. We're changing the format of the meetings and some of our alumni have returned to get it started. They will be serving as recruiters and mentors to the younger members as well as bringing in some new ideas for activities, youth trips & great discussion topics. We're even discussing a new name for the group ... something that defines what we'd like to become for each other as well as to those in our community. We'll take any suggestions offered.
For those of you who have seen the youth room and were left with questions as to why we decided to go in this direction, let me explain the concept. The way we see it, is that this room depicts every Christian's journey. We all begin in darkness and chaos, but when we give our lives to Christ and begin our walk with Him and begin to live our lives for Him, a change begins. The darkness and chaos is diminished and overpowered by His light in our lives and we then begin to walk only in the Light of Christ, which is our ultimate goal.
So if you haven't seen it, stop by and take a look and if you have, take another look and think about your journey with Christ.
Again, a huge thank you to Jennifer Blanchard, Tara Gondron, Nick Wolfe, Michael Neal, Angelica Deforest, Lauren Lee, Moriah & Stephanie Rabeaux, Kyle McDonald, Brandon Guidry & Kaye Lewis.
Your sister in Christ,
Gretchen Cheshire
