-Our theme was SEX part: 2. The focus on the teaching was “Be the me that God created me to be”. We covered the idea that being created in the image of God is what gives you value, not who you have sex with. That led to the difference between intimacy and sexuality. Intimacy is talking, listening, being real, and thinking. Sex is an expression of love that affirms, values, builds up and respects. We finished with the words of God through Paul in Ephesians chapters 1-3. So great to see the response!!
-Worship through song was spectacular! The group came together and worshipped in such a powerful way!
-Shannon Stoner shared her story and did so well. She shared how God answered her prayer and put her family back together. This was a tough thing to pray for because she was so upset with what was happening in her family. Neat to her about her perseverance and how her mom was her encourager during this time. Shannon’s best line of the night: “Not sure how I would have made it through without God walking with me the whole way.” YES!!
-The greatest part of the evening was the baptisms of Amanda and Lacey. These young women are a blessing to our group and have become great examples of Jesus to us. Here are some pictures from that event:
