Thanks by Giving

 

    

This time of year we are looking forward to our time we have with our families, playing football in the yard, the smell of the turkey that’s been in the oven since the night before, and having a big feast with all the fixings. But its this time of year that we must realize that with all of our things going on that someone out there does not have the same.

As We go through the next few weeks of November leading up to the Day of Thanksgiving, We wont only be focusing on what we ourselves are (or should be) thankful for but also how to Bless someone else with that same Love that we have received through Christ.

How can we as the Youth, that we are, reach out to someone? Giving warm clothes, Helping out with a food drive, Fixing meals to feed the Hungary, or just talking with them one on one. All of these things only skim the top of the pudding container. It is up to us to get out there and do something and do it with all the strength of God pushing behind us.

2 Corinthians 9:12 (New Living Translation)

“So two good things will result from this ministry  of giving—the needs of the believers in Jerusalem will be met, and they will joyfully express their thanks to God.”

The Merge

What do you get when Gravity Merges with The Point? Point of Gravity? (isn’t that a Band?) Gravity’s Point? Point at Gravity? Graint? No defiantly none of that…What you get is two awesome youth groups coming together as one Mega group.

The word Merge in the Dictionary means to “Combine into one”. So that’s what we are going to do become one just as the church is suppose to be. We are all striving towards the same goal so why not act like it? As we bring these two similar but different Youth Groups together we are showing others that we are unified as one.

East Ridge and Journey Church are coming together for one Sunday (October 31st) to worship, learn more about God, and Fellowship together as ONE.

The Point (East ridge's Youth service) starts at 10:45 A.m. I know Gravity students you will have to rise up out of bed a little earlier then usual but trust me it is going to be worth it.

We will be focusing on the importance of missions whether over seas or in your backyard. Missions is a key part of what Jesus told His disciples (Us) to do. There will be a few Missionary’s speaking from Honduras and the awesome things they do there, as well as a video focusing on what WE can do as students.

Mathew 25 Sums it up best by saying “ For I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me into your home. I was naked, and you gave me clothing. I was sick, and you cared for me. I was in prison, and you visited me.

Hope to see everyone Sunday at The Point

Back in Time…

            

“When God tells you to do something…You do it.”

That is the Motto for the month of July for The Gravity Student Ministry. We must let God take control of us and our decisions. For the month of July we will not be meeting. This last month  of Summer will be spent finishing up spending long nights up watching movies with friends, spending all day at the pool, and spending time with our families. These Four weeks will let us work on things and work on serving others in our church, community and world. I know this is going to bum a lot of you out because we will not be meeting with your awesome Youth Pastor, but I am still going to be around getting other things ready and resting up…

Because on July 16th we will be having our GFN (Gravity Fellowship Night) “Last days of Summer Lock-IN” . So Bring your Friends and Get some Sleep because we will be up all night.

* More details to come*

Also:

August 1st will be the start of our Old Testament  “Throw back!”…

Old Testament Throwback will get us back to the basics of all the Old Testament “Players” and how God used them for his magnificent Glory

With Abraham, Noah, David, etc. We will look at all the things these awesome people did for the glory of God.

Stay tuned and get your Delorian and Flux Compacitor out because we are going back in time…

One Month To live

The countdown has officially started. Beginning on May 16th 2010 the Gravity Youth group has 30 days to live. With the next 6 week series we must believe that this is true. We are living our lives out with passion, strength and a true thought of what would happen if we only had thirty days left. Living in the dash (between your birth and death date) , Living passionately, loving completely, learn humbly,leave boldly, and living with no regrets are the topics we will focus on in the next few weeks.

We are brought here to earth for a purpose. we must make those goals but also live them out today. we never know when we will be taken from this earth. it is the time we have now that matters most. get out there and do something about it.

The clock is ticking and with each passing day an X crosses it out, never able to be replaced. It is what we do today that determines what tomorrow will bring.
