YF Contentment and Suffering discussion (13th) Discipleship week details
Many thanks for the hospitality the Yip family showed for YF last week! Even though many people were out of town, they still fed and warmly hosted a large number of us! It was a great time to see everyone, catch up with summers over supper and just have fun with one another. Although, we didn't have an indepth study of Scripture etc, it's amazing how we can share all these experiences and fellowship time remind me that church is a living and breathing body/family.This week, I originally had in mind to continue the Bible studies in the Minor prophets - but with Discipleship week coming up next week, we'll be spending a lot of time in Scripture each day. Instead, this Friday (13th), we will be having a discussion on contentment, those who are suffering and generosity based on the Nooma series. Each time we've seen one of these short videos, they leave a lot of room for discussion and we can also supplement the discussion by looking at more examples in God's Word. We'll talk about our inborn desire to succeed, gather, accomplish etc. Can our success, our attitude of one-upmanship and gaining everything end up turning on us? Please bring your Bibles, pens, refreshments etc to the youth room on Friday.
YF Discipleship week is NEXT WEEK from the 16th - 20th. (9:30am-12noon each day) We also have a service day on the 25th (detached from the Dweek days but still part of Dweek). We will be focusing on a Biblical understanding of the Holy Spirit and how we should be living by the power of the Spirit. Discipleship week includes brief assignments at the end of each day and also includes service opportunities where we learn more about the ministry of various organizations and take time to serve them as well. It may be best to arrange car pools each morning/bus sched/ etc. I've attached a form/letter to your e-mail that I've also e-mailed to parents with our service days and a description of the week on the second page.
Also, Dweek is an awesome time to have lunch together on one of the days (and even large groups have lunch together too!) so let's meet up for it!
See you on Friday!
