YF Coffeehouse prayer/prep/practice this Friday (6th) Ouje meeting/Abide in Christ
I really appreciated the sharing and fellowship last Friday as we discussed following Christ. The first thing the Lord invited the disciples to do was to follow Him and the last thing He said was to make more followers of Christ and to usher more people to live under the authority of God and to be like Him... may that be your desire as you interact with your sphere of influence each day. The life that Jesus calls you to live is one that is filled with blessing and privilege - the things that He says to walk away from are things that were going to destroy us anyways. Some of the verses we discussed: 1 Tim 6:6-10; Mk 10:21; Rev 6:15-17; Mt 7:13-14; Mt 7:21. In Sunday school we continued our journey in the OT and took a careful look at the wisdom from the book of Proverbs, we saw that Scripture clearly spells out consequences to our actions but warns us to be alert and wise. We also encouraged you to ask your parents or a trusted adults some questions about their mistakes as a youth and what godly advice they can give you about how to avoid those mistakes.This Friday (6th), we will begin praying, preparation and practice for the coffeehouse. 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. By this Friday the event will only be 2 weeks away! We've secured 3 rolls of newsprint for decorations team to work on (hoping to get 3 more this week). The basement sanctuary is booked for YF to use for music, practice or skits, Rm. 202 will be available earlier (if you would like additional time to prepare) as well. If you are leading a committee - please ensure that all involved will be there and ready to practice/prepare. Our aim for the evening is to confirm the program and run through a rough draft of the flow of the evening. Each committee, please commit to prayer individually and together on Friday. Maria has offered to prepare invitations on a request basis, please let her know! Our brothers and sisters in the Good Morning CCCO group have made other arrangements for the 21st morning to allow for YF to decorate, many thanks to them for their thoughtfulness.
The Ouje mission team will be meeting at 6:00pm this Friday (6th) prior to YF. Commitment is required for meetings leading up to Ouje, so please bring your own dinner and prayerfully consider how the Lord desires to work through you for this important trip. I've talked with a couple of our h2o students who also love Ouje and they will be joining us this Friday for our Ouje meeting as well. It's key to ensure that your exam schedules are rearranged (if need be) as soon as possible!
Some of you have expressed interest in taking part of the church's reading campaign on 'Abide in Christ'. A free download of 'Abide in Christ' by Andrew Murray can be found here. As I've mentioned before, this is not to be read like a novel, but daily reflection accompanied by Scripture reading. Andrew Murray's prayer "I pray earnestly that our gracious Lord may be pleased to bless this little book, to help those who seek to know Him fully. I pray still more earnestly that He would, by whatever means, make the multitudes of His dear children who are still living divided lives see how He claims them wholly for Himself, and how the wholehearted surrender to Him alone brings unspeakable joy and glory." You can read 2 days today to catch up so that May 3rd you will be reading day 3.
As usual, drop us an e-mail to let us know how we can be praying for you or if you would like to catch up over lunch/bbtea etc.
See you all on Friday!
