Youth-Parent Ministry a blast!

I had fun tonight at our youth/parent ministry. Well- it was hard not to have fun- I mean I was riding high after the Seahawks won their way into the Super bowl. But, more than that we had 18 youth there and 8 parents- we had a fun night. We played foosball, a card game called "mow" or something like that. We also watched a nooma video called "Rain." It is an awesome video about how much God loves us. The parents also watched a nooma video called "Flame." It is a video about relationships.
Our parents are great. They do a wonderful job pitching in and taking care of all the hard work. They allow me to be with the youth and do the teaching.
Our youth like to have fun, but they also know Jesus is their rock. Our scripture for the evening was Matt 7:24-29- Check it out.

Well earlier today we had Sunday morning worship. It was also a good time. We sang "Fishers of Men" which is old time fav of mine. Children's sermon we talked about what it means to repent- and how that relates to listening to your parents.
Our "Give and Take"= was on forgiveness- again. We read from Matthew 6- the Lord's Prayer. I was convicted this week, again, that in order to be a person that really practices forgiveness and asks for forgiveness from others, we must ask God for help. I am convinced that's why Jesus put forgiveness in the Lord's prayer- because he knew we need help in this area.
Anyways- we had good worship- and there were about 82 of us there.
We followed up worship with our annual soup and bread dinner. Excellent soup. Wonderful bread. We followed up the meal with our annual ministry/business meeting. It was full of good news- and it was brief. We thanked our devoted board members who are ending their service, Casey and Bill- thanks so much.
It was kind of an eventful sunday.
Go hawks.
