Dear Church Family,
This past Sunday we had our very own Youth Group lead us in worship.
They did an amazing job as they allowed God to use them to bless us and
many more. Any time the young people in the church take part in serving,
in any capacity, the rest of the church seems to get very excited. Not only
do we get excited because it is something different, but because we see
the future of the church. Some churches would be more than excited to
have just a few youth in their church, much less to lead the service. God
has blessed us beyond measure, and I want you to continue to pray for
them as many of them will be starting school very soon.
Young people as you start a new school year or a new job or whatever
path you take, remember that you are starting fresh. What is in the past is
in the past. I always like to tell young people that you have a 100 average
on the first day of school. Don’t start the year off with your head down or
with a bad attitude, but with renewed excitement and mission. You are a
child of the King and He wants to use you in school or at your new job. He
doesn’t just use you at church, but out in the fields as well. Encourage
each other, pray for each other, and build each other up. We are on the
same team, even when we don’t see eye to eye on everything. We are
called to forgive and move on with furthering God’s Kingdom and His
purpose for our lives. I know this newsletter seems to be more directed
to young people, but it applies to us old folks as well. (Except maybe the
100 average). Isaiah 40:31 says, “But those who wait on the Lord shall
renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, they
shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.” Be blessed because I have been.
