It Begins Today

Today begins an important time in the life of a follower of Jesus. It is Ash Wednesday and the beginning of the season of lent. It is 40 days, not counting Sundays, to prepare oneself for Easter and the celebration of what Jesus' sacrifice means to you and me. There will be an Ash Wednesday service tonight at 7 pm at trinity church. Therefore there will be no normal JH Gathering, but you are invited to join the Ash Wednesday service. JH lifeGROUPS will still happen. The HS Gathering will still happen after the special service. I pray that you will not rush through the next 40 days, but allow Him to use this time to speak to you.

A couple of other options for the Lent season:

Stop Doing/Start Doing: Many people fast something during lent (I am giving up all food other than at meal times...no snacking for me!) What can you give up: caffeine, tv, facebook, junk food? Also...Start doing something for other people. We have dedicated fridays for that! Pay for the person's coffee behind you at Starbucks, give flowers to an elderly person, bake cookies for you neighbor.

Read a blog post: Throughout the lent season our lead pastor Scott Marshall (www.twitter.com/scomarsh) and I (www.twitter.com/kbolt) will be blogging at http://scomarsh.blogspot.com I would encourage you to come join the conversation.

Even if it is a few days into the lent season, you can still be a part of what God is trying to do. Start today!

The Power of Sex-Helping Students Understand God's Plan for Sex

There are not many things in our culture that are more powerful than sex. It sells, it corrupts, it causes people to lie, it binds, and it can even destroy. However, God created Sex to be powerful in another way. A way that connects and unites.

I believe as a parent it is your job to teach them on this subject, likewise, I believe it is my job to partner with you and teach them the truth as well.

Starting February 3rd we will begin our series called “The Power of SEX.” The series will end on March 3rd. We will be looking at God’s Plan for sex and how to follow it. (No JH Gathering on February 17th due to our Ash Wednesday Service. JH students are welcome to join us at 7 pm in the Sactuary and then attend lifeGROUPS at 8 pm)

All sessions will be recorded and I am available to talk with you if you have any questions or concerns.

Thanks ahead of time for the opportunity to partner with you on such an important subject.

God Of Second Chances

One of my favorite blogs I read is ragamuffinsoul.com. Carlos is one of the most authentic and honest Christians I have read and follow. He is in the middle of putting out an album and was shooting some video for it and had an unbelievable moment with a man who joins him. What could happen in our lives if we really understood who the creator really is! Enjoy

I love creative stuff...And this is crazy creative!

I believe God is the creator of everything and I think he has done a pretty good job. I also believe that because you and I were made in his image, we are also creative! Where are you being creative in your life? With your family, on your dates, for your homework, at the place you worship.....? Experience all God has for you now and be creative!
