I hope that everyone will come out this Sunday (12/16) for the Youth Group Christmas Party!
I think it will be an awesome time of fun and fellowship as we celebrate the coming of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
If you are a regular at Youth Group I want to challenge you to bring a friend or two (there will be a prize for whoever brings the most friends). These nights are awesome for getting friends more involved in the youth group and eventually that may lead them to having a relationship with Christ...but if you never take the first step and invite them, then they will never come.
Also, make sure you bring a buck for pizza OR a snack/2 liter of pop. Also, bring a wrapped gift of 5$ or less for the gift exchange....

Sorry for the randomness. Anywho...
Check out this weeks Clarence Bee. Theres a really cool article about the Roswell Park PaintBox Project and our churches involvement in it. Props to Danielle, Shannon, and Laura for all their work with that program. They even got their picture and name in the paper!
Let me challenge you guys. If you haven't spent some time with God in a while...go somewhere alone for a little while and dive into His word and pour your heart out to him in prayer. I promise it will be one of the most rewarding things you have done in a while. Besides, Jesus only left the glory and perfection of heaven to come to this earth as helpless infant in a poor family only to grow up to and devote his life to teaching and guiding us and eventually be tortured to death nailed to some wooden beams....I think at very least He deserves 20 minutes alone with you. God loves you more than you can imagine and spending time with Him discovering that love is extremely beneficial.
I love all you guys so much. Having great students like you makes my job an absolute joy.
Have a great week. Ill be prayin for ya.
