We are well on our way into the new Sunday School year. I appreciate all those who have attended a small group these last two weeks. Be sure to make Donnis and Shelia Martin feel welcomed as they get settled into our teaching team. They are great folks and we are blessed to have them with us.
This past week we talked about the fact that the Holy Spirit is God and He is our Empowerer. It was a great lesson from Acts 1. I am so glad that God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit work in such a way to lead us to salvation and equip us to live out that salvation. The Holy Spirit will never draw attention to Himself, but always point to Jesus. This is never more true than in the great passage on being missional, "But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to ME in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth." Needless to say I am excited for our students as we continue our journey through the early Church. Below is a practical (and somewhat humorous) video that I have used with the students to describe the role of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Check it out.
Also, I want to give you a "heads up" about some activities coming soon. September 26th the student group will have the opportunity to go to New Salem Baptist Church for their bi-monthly youth service called "the Station." It starts at 6:30pm so we will probably leave out @5:35pm. October 10th is YOUTHQUAKE and we will be going to it as well. Check it out @ http://www.youthquake.com/ The cost is $10 plus food. We will leave @11:00am and be back by 12:00pm. More details to come about other AWESOME stuff!
