YF Basic: Follow Jesus Bible study and discussion this Friday (29th)
That was quite the weekend... Thanks for all who were able to worship with our CCCO family on Friday morning, it was a time to remember the crucifixion of Christ and His death at Calvary and it was a blessing to witness the rich creativity of the brothers and sisters as we worshiped the Lord through song, drama and communion. We had 28 youth attend No Other Name, it was moving to see a thousand students from across the region gather for No Other Name. Thanks for taking part in various workshops and discussions! I know that these are treasured times of fellowship where there is time for reflection as well as sharing and deepening your relationships. We also shared in the joy of witnessing brothers and sisters be baptized at our Easter worship! Please remember our responsibility as the body of Christ to disciple and encourage them in their walks with the Lord.
This Friday (29th), we have waited a long time to continue our Bible study and discussion series in Basic with 'Follow Jesus.' Our last discussion of 'Fear God' was very interactive and we enjoyed hearing from many of you as we wrestled with how we should fear God as it is the beginning of wisdom. Please bring your Bibles, (4 color) pens and a willingness to share, be challenged and changed. As always there will be a time for fellowship before and after with refreshments. On a personal note, I am extremely encouraged by you students! There have been life changing events in our group recently with deeper walks with the Lord, new relationships with the Lord as well as big breakthroughs in various lives! Please continue to pray for each other as you build your friendships. It's been a busy season, getting registration/money in for NoN, Ouje, planning for coffeehouse etc. Thanks for your faithfulness in all of these things!This Sunday (1st), we will continue our Bible study series in the Old Testament as we intentionally enter into the rich wisdom of Solomon and the book of Proverbs. Feel free to use the time directly after Sunday school to organize details regarding coffeehouse and what can be prepared for the following Friday as we will have YF's in preparation/practice for Coffeehouse. Please remember that we will not have access to the basement sanctuary the morning of coffeehouse, so make preparations with that in mind so we can finish most of the decor the day before during YF. Please keep in mind the purpose of the event - welcoming your friends, being ambassadors of Christ and learning to work together with respect for one another.
Continue to pray for the Ouje team, we still need additional drivers and adults to participate in this trip. I'll notify all of those who have applied this Friday and Sunday. Check your exam schedule to see if June 26th to July 2nd overlaps with your last exam and make arrangements. Please pray for all the preparation that needs to take place for the trip.
I've absolutely loved speaking at your various schools. It's nice to get an idea of your daily surroundings and see the faces of friends that you've talked about or fellowship with at your schools. Let me know if you would like me to share at your schools as a testimony, topical workshop or Bible study. Let us know if you would like to catch up/pray and how we can be praying for you.
See you all on Friday!
