Gearing Up For Lent

We listened to the sounds of The Sounds this evening.

So, per request we present you:




We started our Super-Lenten-Series a week early tonight in preparation of Lent. Some Scripture-reading, sharing, nailing push-pins to wood (long story), the Boy Scout finding an easier way to extract push-pins from said wood, and closing prayer with our snazzy new Youth Group candle. We're looking at things we can improve on, whether it's choices we've made, choices we make, and what we find ourselves doing with our time.

We are preparing ourselves to use the next 40-days to let the Spirit guide us and be with us as we reflect and take on new (or old) challenges.

Matisyahu opens up with his song, Sea to Sea, which includes lyrics straight out of Scripture, "Open up my lips and my mouth shall declare Your praise." And only Matisyahu can pull it off in Hebrew & English to a killer reggae beat. So, please enjoy:



Reminder:
There's no Youth Group next week because of Ash Wednesday.

Getting ready for Lent

We're gearing up for Lent, so we did a lot of catching up on what's going on with everyone this week before we get extra-biblical next month. C.C. was kind of surprised by this when she responded with , "Damn! Jesus was just born and now he's gonna die again?!" :)

Next week, we look at WWYD, WWJD, Valentine's Day, Love, Dating, and calendering for the rest of the year.

Unofficial Movie night this Friday:
Coraline around 7ish at Bayfair. Unofficial meaning that it just so-happens that a bunch of us are going to be there and YOYO (you're on your own) for transportation, tickets, and snacks.
