JCX Tuesday 2/2/10

We rocked it again Tuesday night. Here are the details:

*Our focus was Faith and Fear. We chatted about how “we can do this because Jesus lives in us” and how often we don’t believe that.
*Each D-group was given a flower that represents all the things that we see as more important than the people around us. Oh, by the way … the flower will die!
*There was a small stage where the youth could stand up and speak up on behalf of those in need, broken, hurting, etc. Some great things we’re shared!! Always interesting to see who will share and what they will say. Even Captain Ron spoke up!
*Getting closer and closer to our $5,000 goal for 30 Hour Famine. We encouraged the youth to continue to fundraise. Doing some fun projects on the day of the famine too. Spoke a bit about Youth Hope and how we’re partnering with them.
*D-groups are always an adventure. Heard some great discussion taking place, which is such a super neat thing.
*Starting next week … We’re talking, discussing, sharing about SEX.
*Lacey will be sharing her story next week.
*In a couple of weeks Brandon asked if he could sing in front of the group, to which I said “HECK YEAH!”
*R.J. is leading our time Sunday morning and he always does great! Come support him!
*There is a girls Bible Study meeting this Thursday @5:30pm @White Rabbit. Look for Taryn, Bethany and Samantha.
*Another new youth staffer @JCX last night. Her name is Dilara. And, if you haven’t met Baylie yet, you should … she joined us about a month ago! You both rock!!
*Famine dates … Feb 26/27 … bring a tent and come and hang with us.
*We’re making bracelets for Rapha House … raised over $120 so far .. more bracelets are needed … chat with Vanessa or Mike.
