And I've guaranteed myself an interpreter. Cuz ain't no one coming back if I simply reply on my Spanish! :P
My lesson tonight focuses on 1 Timothy 4:12
Do not let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith, and in purity.I really want to start things off on a fresh note. Maybe we'll have some first timers tonight (maybe next Friday, or the Friday after...) because it's the beginning of the semester (and, according to the pastor, maybe because it's led my foreigners) and I really want these gatherings to be as non-intimidating as possible. So I'm banking on printed versus (nothing is more intimidating to me than someone referencing a verse that you aren't familiar with and you feel left out), easy lessons (based on said printed versus), and applicable actions (community projects, hopefully at least once a month) to focus a few of them.
The beginning theme for us will be ServantHood. Something completely borrowed from our Youth Pastor at Lakeshore Church in Montreal.
She's amazing.
Beyond the core verse of 1 Timothy (above) we'll read the greatest commandment(s):
Mark 12:30:
To love your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength... (and) love your neighbor as yourself.
Galatians 5:13:
You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature: rather, serve one another in love. The entire law is summed up in a single command: "Love your neighbor as yourself."After, we'll be brainstorming ways in which we can do this. Big or small... Pretty much anything they can come up with (or open up and actually say). My heart's desire is to harness some of the energy these kids have and put it to good use, showing what they can do for others, etc. And that doing things for others is actually fun.
(emphasis mine)
Please pray for us tonight and in the weeks to come. Let relationships build, youth feel welcomed, and energy focused on loving our God and serving each other.
And who doesn't love pizza???

love the lesson plan by the way... I was encouraged as I read it and opened myself up to hear those words again. Can't hear those verses and truths too often.

Is it a compliment or the kiss of death to say that every sexy, skinny skittish number in Christian Louboutin shoes show on Wednesday would look a treat on Victoria Beckham? The former Posh Spice and the wife of football icon David Beckham is a byword for the polished sexiness that is still Christian Louboutin Pumps mantra a year after Tom Ford's last collection. As a show to keep the Christian Louboutin Boots flag flying, there was plenty to please the retailers: smart tailored coats with embroidery in relief; red-carpet gowns with a lattice of decoration; purple crocodile bags and Christian Louboutin Sandals with a calf band of bright navy the inky dark color that replaced black in the show.
Besides Coach bags serving our greater needs, the Large Signature Coach Gallery comes in many diverse patchworks. The time honored Coach Hamptons LARGE Authentic Khaki/Black Purse Handbag and Signature Denim with leather trim Coach Legacy are my personal favorites. I love the size and reliability of these bags as well as the crinkle patent leather trim and signature lightweight fabric.
