-We started with info about the kingdom worker cards that our youth received at CIY. These cards have specific challenges on them and ask the youth to complete the challenge within the year. An example of a card is: create a free carnival in the park and invite the community to come and play. That’s the idea. We are attempting to complete each card by next years CIY.
-Our CIY people were excited about the debuting CIY video that Matt put together. Here it is:
-During our worship through song each youth wrote their name down on a prayer card. Then they placed those cards on a table and picked up a name and wrote a prayer on the back of the card to that person. Very cool to read what was written and really encouraging for our youth.
-The teaching focused on Jesus and his invitation to “come and see, come and die.” We used Matthew 28:18-20 as our focus. At the end of the teaching we invited our peeps to move if they need to proclaim Jesus is Lord for the first time, reconnect to Jesus or mentor/disciple someone. We also invited our youth to get baptized. That was awesome! Six youth decided Tuesday night was when they wanted to do that. So … we did:
-Such a great night! We are really seeing God transform lives. There were others who said they were ready to be baptized but wanted to wait and talk it over with their parents … which is a good thing.
-Here is a picture of us baptized people praying to close out our time together:
