Hey Guys,
Those of you who went on the Winter Retreat, what was your favorite part? Did you learn anything new?
Did God reveal anything to you to change? I had to work all weekend and greatly missed hanging out with all you kiddos for 2 1/2 days. So tell me.

I've been waiting and waiting to see if this turns to rain - but alas, it is not! So we are regretfully canceling youth group tonight. Since we will not be meeting, please please please remember to bring your money for the retreat on Sunday morning ok?
Thanks!

Hey everyone,
Did you have a great Christmas? I hope so! In the spirit of Christmas and family and relaxation . . . we are going to cancel youth group FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR!! Ha ha. That's only tomorrow night :) So we will reconvene in 2008 - I hope you are all excited!

Hey Guys,
Yay, First post.
Well I was reading what you all think about kidney donation, and was wondering what you guys thought about organ donation when you die?
What do you guys think about that? Would you donate?
Side note, I miss you guys! (I have been working too many Thursdays!)
A hypothetical:
1) If a family member or friend was in need of a kidney, would you give
them one of your own?
2) What if it was a stranger who was in need of a kidney?
3) What if they were a "bad" person?
What would you do?

So come dressed to be outside all night ok?
And spread the word to your friends!
I think that picture is a joke right? Anyone ever seen that before?
Anyway - I have heard from several people that they are doing well with "The Challenge" from youth group last week. How are you doing? In case you forget or weren't there - we are all trying to carve out some sacred time and space each day to be alone with God.
So - does anyone have any good stories to share about what has happened in your time? Anyone have any interesting names for it?
For me - I was about to fall asleep the other night and I was like "Whoa - I can't NOT have time with God after telling everyone else to do it . . .!!!!" So I got up! :)
There are so many distractions and responsibilities in our lives - do you ever find it hard to HEAR? God specifically? I know I do. I was recently in a conversation with someone about the different ways of hearing God that we find the most helpful. And I think its really encouraging to hear how other people do this kind of stuff.
What's cool is that there is no ONE SET WAY of doing this. I think God can reveal himself to us in many different ways - and what works for one person might not work for someone else. But its also cool to hear something that works for someone else, and think - maybe I SHOULD try that! So tell us what are the best ways for you to hear God, or feel his presence . . .
OK - so the cartoon has nothing to do with my questions, but I just love Far Side and I think this is one is laugh-out-loud funny (you might have to click on it to see it bigger)!
So here's the deal - I want your input on two things:
1) We might be having a cafe in the newly renovated old barn some day for youth group! So if that was true, what would you want there? What kind of snacks and drinks would you like?
2) Also- I know that you guys out there like worship songs, and I know that Josh and I don't know them all. Does anyone have any ideas of new cool worship songs/bands that we could look into as a worship team?
Please respond!
Guys - Jason sent this to me last night. I really feel like there is a deep spiritual meaning to this banner. Anyone have any guesses as to the message of this thing?? I have NO idea - but I'm sure you all have some funny ideas . . .
