In an effort to keep everyone up-to-date....

Info from our High School Bible Class......

Each week in our high school class we attempt to flesh out the morning worship topic. This past week (10/1) we began talking about "meditation." We are transformed and shaped by those things we think about, contemplate, and dwell on. In an effort to encourage that thinking contemplating and dwelling to be focused toward God and or Jesus, the students each wrote a personal prayer to God that they would pray everyday throughout the month of October.

Encourage them!! Offer to join them!! A regular prayer meditation is a great thing for all of us!!

Ralph Parrish and Kris Lowry teach our Middle Schoolers. Here is a summary from their class this past week.

Ralph says.....On Sunday we came from the text in Isaiah 7-8 concerning the story of Ahaz. The king whom God told to be calm and do not worry and he would take care of the kingdom of Judah. We began by discussing choices in life and how, especially today, we demand immediate responses. We also discussed how we like to make choices which we can control the outcome instead of waiting on God’s timing and plans. Our discussion recognized that Ahaz made the choice based on the available choices he understood instead of having faith in God and then based on that choice the king of Assyria ruled Judah and stripped them of all wealth. If he had chosen God’s direction it may have taken longer but the outcome was promised to be different.

Ask them about it!
