Mark 10:45 says, “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and give His life as ransom for many”. As a youth group, we are finding ourselves busier than ever. We are currently challenged to juggle school, home, social events, and church each week. It is becoming more difficult for us, as a youth group, to find time to meet when most everyone can be there. We are a blessed people in that we have so many opportunities to be involved in so many activities.
Therefore, the way in which we have “youth group time” will begin to look a little different. We will no longer meet for Bible Study on Wednesday nights with Pam. Instead, Sunday School will focus more heavily on what the Bible teaches us. We will shift into a youth group that is focused more on serving, rather than being served. This will help prepare our hearts and minds for our 2020 mission trip to Puerto Rico as well. So, once a month, starting in September, we will begin “Servant Saturday”. These days will be focused on serving others in our community, and will take between 6-8 hours. During this day, we will fellowship and grow together, help our fellow brothers and sisters and have devotion time to focus on the “why” of being a follower of Jesus Christ. We will do other “fun” youth activities throughout the year as well.
I look forward to seeing you on these “Servant Saturday’s”!!
