I know I say it a lot, but I am truly thankful for my youth group! I am privileged to pastor some of the best teens in the world. I would not trade positions with anyone. This past weekend was just one example of how great they are.
Friday and Saturday was our 8th annual S.E.W. & Reap weekend. We met at the church and then traveled to Goldsboro for supper and walk through a local church's Judgment House. Sometimes it is hard for even Christian youth to truly behave in situations such as this one, but they were superbly mature and handled everything as young adults. Many even chose to take a pledge to maintain purity throughout the rest of their life.
Saturday, we went to New Life Camp in North Raleigh. Even though it may not have been the most glamorous of jobs for us to take on, everyone worked their hardest and did everything as they were working to please the Lord. My only wish is that I could do more for them. I would take this group anywhere and trust that they would be wonderful representitives for God and our church.
Thank you teens for you continued maturity and desire to serve the the Lord.
Pastor B.

What's Coming Up?
Hello everyone, I hope that you had a good weekend. It was good to see all of you yesterday. Continue to pray for Aaron Ungerer (who we mentioned prayer for yesterday). His situation is an hour by hour basis.
Just wanted to remind you that Thursday is the Fall Festival. If you are available to work on Thursday, before the event, please let me know.
Also, Saturday night we will be going to the Windley's for a fun time. For those who would like, we will meet at the church at 4:10 and ride/follow each other to their house. If you know where they live, you can just meet us there at 4:25. If you have pictures that night, just plan to come after your pictures are done.
Saturday, November 9, will be our next airsoft battle. More details will be out soon.
Friday and Saturday, November 15 & 16, will be our annual S.E.W. & Reap weekend. I will be printing fliers this week so you can see what we will be planning to do. I will post something about the S.E.W. & Reap weekend soon as well.
Take care,
Pastor B.

Global Week of Prayer- Day 6
Hey everyone,
Hope this week has gone good. This is the last day of this year's Global Week of Prayer.
On Saturday September 28, 2013 I challenge you to pray for one last thing. Pray for the Sunday services for church, and all upcoming events.
Hope you guys have had a great week of prayer!
Matthew 12:1-8
"At that time Jesus went through the grainfields on the Sabbath. His disciples were hungry, and they began to pluck heads of grain and to eat. But when the Pharisees saw it, they said to him, 'Look, your disciples are doing what is David did when he was hungry, and those who were with him: how he entered the house of God and ate the bread of the Presence, which it was not lawful for him to eat nor for those who were with him, but only for the priests? Or have you not read in the Law how on the Sabbath the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath and are guiltless? I tell you, something greater than the temple is here. And if you had known what this means, ' I desire mercy, and not sacrifice, you would not have condemned the guiltless. For the Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath.'"

Global Week of Prayer- Day 5
Hey everyone,
We are almost done with this years Global Week of Prayer.
I challenge you to pray for your teachers and leaders at your school. Pray for both your individual teachers and all the administration and staff as a whole.
Hebrews 13:17

Hope you have a great day of prayer!

Global Week of Prayer- Day 4
Hey everyone,
We are over half way through this Global Week of Prayer. Hope you have been praying for all the topics so far.
On Thursday September 26, 2013, I challenge you to pray for the leaders in our church...
" And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and for by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love."
Hope you have yet another great day of prayer!

Global Week of Prayer- Day 3
Hey everyone,
Hope that everyone had yet another good day of prayer. Be getting ready for See You at the Pole.
On Wednesday, September 25, 2013 I challenge you to pray for your fellow students. While you are at the flag pole at your school you should try to think of those that are around you and pray that they stand strong through their faith.
James 5:16 (ESV)
"Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working."
We will discuss the various events that took place throughout the day at the bible study time in youth group.
Hope to see you at the pole!
