Howdy!

I hope all is well with you this week.

On Sunday, we had our final small group time this term. I thought it
went very well, and the spirit amongst the group was excellent. We
watched a DVD clip from Christianity Explored Soul, which is the youth
version of CE. We were reminded that CHRISTIANITY IS CHRIS. There are
many things about the Christian faith – church, serving the poor,
giving tithes, etc. – but Chrisianity is all about Jesus, and
everything is secondary to that.

Parents, ask your teens this week what they think about Jesus. Many of
them have probably been hearing his name since they were in Sunday
school. But what does he mean to them?

This Sunday is our special 6th Year Sendoff, so make sure you are
there for all the festivities!
