YF Bible Study this Friday (14th)
Hope everyone had a meaningful weekend with family to remember God's goodness this Thanksgiving season. My prayer focus this week is that the presence of Christ would be so present in our lives that it will determine what we think and do. When the Kingdom is placed first, all things in our lives will be given the proper attention. "Lord, deliver me from the small loyalties of habit or tradition that would keep me from larger loyalties of the Spirit. Through Jesus, who understood the deeper meaning of freedom. Amen" - John Killinger. Time for some reading: Psalm 33, Deut 4:32-40; Phil 3:1-14. Please continue in your devotional plan as well.
This Friday (14th), we will be continuing our Bible study series in the book of Philippians. The apostle Paul emphasizes joy in the life of the Christian despite sharing in the fellowship of His sufferings (suffering he asks for in his prayer!). Prior to our study, we'll also have a testimony of how the Lord has been working in the heart of our sister Laura and drawing her to missions. I've asked her to share with YF and pray that it encourages you to see a young sister (who has been with you for the last 3 years) with a heart for missions. As you may already know, she has returned from El Salvador where the Lord enriched her faith and is planning on going to Chile. This Sunday school (16th) will be flexible, I have a lesson prepared in our journey in Proverbs but also a possible discussion on an issue that is becoming closer to my heart. I'll bring both to Sunday school and pray that the Lord will speak to us either way. We will also set aside time at the end of class to pray for one another and I'll share with you a prayer initiative that our church will focus on.
Next Friday (21st), is a blessed opportunity to serve an amazing ministry (Jericho Road) at Crerar Ave. During Discipleship Week over 20 of us did some pretty hard (and rewarding) work to help serve the clients there and there is some more work that needs to be done next Friday evening. Don't worry, it's indoor work :) I've attached our outdoor activity form for next week.
Coming up: Next Generation Conference (28th) Family Feud event with parents!
This week, a representative from the churches involved will be getting together for us to plan Getaway 2012! Pray for us and begin thinking of what theme you would like to bring to the table at the student leader meeting that we'll let you know about in the coming months. Our desire for the Getaway is for the students to dream, pray, and work together as the body of Christ.
It's also great to meet with you during the week, if your schedule is swamped and you can't meet up, let us know how we can be praying for you!
See you all this Friday!
