Outsiders& Not Eating

Hey Parents! We have been a little off schedule recently, with last week being a D Group hang out night and the week before being a snow day (who would have thought!?!) but now we are back into the swing of things. This week was officially week 3 of our "Removing the Rocks" Series where we look at some things that get in peoples way when they try to see who Jesus is. Last night we talked about "Outsiders." We looked at how so often, we as Christians add to the cross. We make Following Jesus about the cross AND ... where Jesus calls us to take up our cross and follow him. The challenge was put out to stop adding to the cross and invite people in, love them like crazy and work together to live in a community of Love and Hope where we are all working together to know Jesus more, and follow Him each day. I encourage you, TALK TO YOUR KIDS ABOUT THIS. after I spoke we threw it open for some questions and there is a real struggle on including people who are hard to forgive. Some really tough questions. Please be a part of the conversation. Also, letting you parents know that NEXT FRIDAY April 15th will be our 30 Hour Famine. It is an overnight event, but will include sleep this time :) If you know your child is interested make sure they get a donation sheet to participate. This is such an amazing fundraiser and this year world vision allows kids to allocate the funds they raise to the cause they choose! (Food & Nutrition, Education, Child Protection or Education)
