Youth Group Update

The Youth Group is going strong. Anyone from 5th grade on up through high school is welcome. We meet every other week over at Matt and Caroline's house. This is a great time of food, video games, table games, basketball and all around great fellowship.

Josh - if you read this, I couldn't remember. Did you lose at that soccer game twice? Or was it 3 times? I lost count as it was sooo easy.... :)

The last time we met, we discussed what life was like in the past. We talked about what people had to do to worship shortly after Jesus' death, as well as what it was like when us adults were kids. We talked about how we used to be able to pray in school, talk openly about our faith, etc. Then we discussed the growing trends of "freedom from religion" that consume our world now. We talked a bit about where things might be 10 years from now.

To drive the point home, we used the video below. If you can get past the 80's style haircut (which we agreed would look GREAT on Josh...), this video shows a chilling possible way the future could become.
