Happy Tuesday! 

This past week we Joined Jordan for another round of his worship workshop! Two more weeks and we start walking through 2 Kings with the Gospel Project! 

Youth Group was great! We are seeing a lot of new and consistent faces and its FABULOUS! We talked about our preference vs God's purpose for our lives. There are a lot of things in life that we (often selfishly) want, but God may have other ideas. For example, I would love to have a brand spanking new 2018 C7 Corvette. I would be over the moon driving that car. Unfortunately, when I die my car wont come with me. Many of the things that we pursue in this life are temporary. We search for a happiness or fulfillment that can't be found in temporal things, and rarely take a long view when it comes to our eternal joy. 

We reflected on how God has a purpose for each and every person alive. That person will experience incredible fulfillment and joy when they live into the calling that God has for them. The hardest part about this truth is that discerning God's plan for our life is not exactly straightforward. A fabulous follow up question for you at home would be "What do you feel God is calling you to in life?" 

That's a HUGE and very open question but it might lead to some great discussion! I hope you all have a wonderful week! 

Good morning parents! 

We had a fantastic first week in the high school youth group! 

We are joining Jordan and the adult Sunday school class to talk about worship and the way that we think about it! The students are excited to move back to our own program, but this is a  conversation
