Worth Watching...Worth Discussing

The HSM has been watching a video by The Voice of the Martyrs about 8 teens who took a trip to Vietnam. If you haven't seen their story we highly recommend it. It's like a reality T.V. show that you might see on MTV but with an eternal purpose. We have learned a lot and have had some good discussion after watching each chapter. We will continue watching and discussing the video for two more weeks. You don't want to miss this!

Because this is a blog you can post your comments. Take a few moments to write out some of your thoughts about the video or something that stuck with you from our discussion. We would love to hear what God is telling you!

Now Is the Time to Worship!

The High School Ministry is committed to following God’s leading and we have proven this over the last few months. We are not afraid to follow Him even if He leads us outside of our “comfortable box”. God led us to ditch the “traditional Wednesday night youth deal” and stretched us to new levels. We launched Mad House, something that none of us had ever really seen before. This was a challenge for all of us, especially your High School Pastor who has been apart of Wed night youth services for the last 16 years (wow, I’m really dating myself here). God has blessed our obedience and we have seen a lot of new and returning faces! Most Wednesday nights our attendance has been double and even triple a few times! Praise God! After saying all of that, I would like to tell you that God is leading the HSM to re-introduce a time of worship on some select Wednesday nights. We will continue to do Mad House on a regular basis but will interrupt Mad House from time to time for a Wednesday night worship series.

This is where I would like some feedback from you. Over the next few days I would like you to spend some time in prayer. After you have prayed, please post your comments. Think on this: what are some creative ways that we can worship our God? What could we include in these worship services that would allow a student to express themselves to Him? Think about the student who has been in church for 18 years and also the student who has been in church for 18 minutes.
