Wednesday nite we had our Loft and Beyond Christmas party. Many times we play a game called "now you have, it now you don't" but as we do many times at the 'Beyond' nite we do something to remind us that life is not about us. We had everyone bring a gift and $2. The week before we all came up with service tasks that we could be apart of doing in the coming year. We attached these service tasks to the gifts and each person bid on the service they wanted to share with someone in the next year. The money they bid from their $2 was then placed in the Gain banks that we got from our project at the Global Aid Network. The money will be given to build wells and feed people 10 cent meals. It was different but we were able to try and help ourselves to see that life and Christmas is not about us but giving as God gave, sacrificially and unselfishly. We spent time looking at the real story of Christmas in God's Word the Bible and saw how those who came to Jesus at first worshiped and gave and told others. Anyway a great nite sharing truth.
Friday and Sat. at the Loft this weekend was more cleanup and updating. Sunday afternoon is when the LS High School Bible study gets together. After the Truth Project they have been meeting in different homes of students. We requested they have their Christmas gathering at the Loft. We had invited about 60 of Jeff's friends. Over 30 showed for a suprize 18th birthday celebration for Jeff. Wow was he suprized!!!!
Monday nite was our regular Junior nite. 23 students for Christmas fun and the Truth shared, Jesus the Savior born at Christmas.
CY wants all to see the youth in their own community and ask God what He wants them to do about these youth.
