JCX 8/10/10

Recap of JCX Tuesday:

-Teaching: Our focus for the evening was that you cannot make disciples by the way you live without first surrendering everything. The phrase we talked about was “Jesus is all that matters”. We looked at Luke 6, starting in verse 26, and talked about how this is truly what it means to surrender everything. Great stuff!

-Worship: We spent some time praying over our graduates Tuesday night. There was also a place where they could write prayers and encouragements too. I was amazed at how much was written and what the youth wrote to each other. Very inspiring and encouraging. It’s always a tough thing to see say goodbye to the grads. It’s awesome that most of them our attending local schools and we’ll see them Sunday nights @8pm for our college night called REfresh. Here’s a picture of some of our grads:

-Celebrate: We handed out the baptism certificates to our freshly baptized peeps. Justin is missing in this picture because he was at football practice and came late. Here they are:

-Best part: Hanging out with the group and talking about Jesus. I hope that others will get a chance to come and hang with us Tuesday night. Invite, spread the word … we are fun to hang out with! Really!! Love ya, mean it … Mike
