Now that the Classroom has beckoned.......

Now that the classroom has beckoned I am amazed at what God did in the life of CY (Community Youth) this summer. Amazing the many different neighborhood activities we were able to plan and pull off this summer. Only God's strength and creativity could have used these events to see the lives of young people changed. I guess one of our thots at CY is that youth are going to be doing something so we might as well give them something positive to do. We had a challenge over the summer, to memorize the Code. The Romans 12:1-18 was coined the Code at the One events last school year. I praise God for giving the endurance to keep at the discipline to memorize the Code. We did many challenging adventures this summer but I realized that the challenge to memorize the Code was my biggest challenge.

This week we were able to finish our Together Bible Study and Worship in the Loft. We had an amazing time looking at those who walked by faith. We were introduced to them in Hebrews 11 and then studied their lives from extended passages in other parts of the Bible. We were challenged by the theme song by Matthew West, Motions (click on the word motions and see the YouTube video) We want to live our lives for real, for Jesus and not just go thru motions that are not real. Too much of 'Christianity' is people going thru the motions of a religion. Instead we want to live a real life of a true relationship with a real person the Lord Jesus Christ. So anyway a great finale to the Bible study and great times of giving great worth to Jesus in song and sharing.

Some great plans are coming together for this fall for the Loft for Middle School students on Monday nite and for High School students on Tuesday for the Loft and Beyond.
