Youth: Wednesday September 29th

Youth: Wednesday Sept. 29th

Tonight the youth selected a name for the Youth Ministry at Cook's. All month, we have talked about identity and how we identify ourselves as individuals as well as how we identify ourselves in groups.

This month-long journey led us to a point tonight where we were ready to discuss and vote on a name for the youth group. Each name that we voted on was chosen by the youth.

S.W.A.T. Youth Ministries (Serving, Worshiping and Teaching) was the name chosen by the youth, and I am excited that they took these three aspects of ministry seriously enough to include them in their new name.

Go S.W.A.T. Youth Ministries!

Sunday Night Youth - September 26th

This Sunday, the youth were led in worship by the Perfect Peace Band.

We also took on more of the Dear God questions turned in by the youth. Questions covered this week were, "How can I be the Christian God wants me to be," and "Why do bad things happen to good people."

Although this was the final night of our Dear God series, I want to encourage the youth to continue to come to me with any questions you may have about God, your faith, or life in general.

Project Serve: September

On Sunday, we spent the afternoon completing some projects for two families within the church who were in need of some assistance due to poor health. Although I do not have pictures yet from the Sharp family work site, much painting was completed inside and some much needed yard work was done outside. Amanda (Sharp) passes along their gratitude for all of the work that was completed.

The Gordon family home also needed some attention to the landscaped area outside. Here are two before and after pictures taken from one side of the house...

I am so thankful for all the parents that came and allowed us to go out into the community to serve others, and for all of the youth who were able to come and spend their Sunday afternoon putting other's needs above their own. 

Remember to Keep Being the Change. Jordan

Wednesday September 15th

Fellowship Night!

After six weeks of Wednesday night lessons, we took a break tonight and played a couple of VERY interactive games and simply enjoyed being with one another. 

 It's pretty safe to say "Zombie Tag" was a big hit. 

This Sunday is our Project Serve day. We will be serving two families within our congregation and hope to have great attendance by all the youth so that we can complete all the projects we have been asked to do.
