Girls Devo-December 3 (Campus Care Packages)

Hey everyone! So last week the girls had our devo at my house and after our lesson we made care packages for the campus students because they had their finals coming up (they had them this past week). I just wanted to say thank you to everyone who brought stuff to put in the care packages. It was a real success. I believe we made about 37 packages and we were able to distribute all of them at the regional church service this past Sunday. The campus students were really appreciative and says thank you to everyone who helped make them. So yup, just wanted to give a little update on how everything went :)

Parent/Teen Devo

On Friday we had a Parent and Teen Devotional. It was a good time of fellowship with both parents and teens. Also, there was drinks and lots food. The lesson was done by Marty; he wanted us to have good "family meetings". He used an analogy of his life and how his kids did not really like these "family meetings". But now that his kids are gone, his kids remember how awesome those "family meetings" were. Some main points from the lesson are learning to get along with others, thinking about positive things, and being content with what you have.

R.O.S.E.S

Olivia here,

I wanted to say thank you to Teen Ministry for giving me life principals, which I can teach others and ultimately, include in my life to make it spiritually fulfilled. Today, I gave a presentation for an organization called The R.O.S.E.S (Royal Outstanding Sistahs Embracing Success). My topic was on gratitude and although I'm not a Christian yet, God spoke through me and people listened and were influenced by God's kindness. I took the liberty to include Marty's lesson on looking at the positives and Marcel's presentation on having no regrets. It was a great time of reflection and ultimately God's time to make us all more grateful in life. :)

The Time is NOW!!!

What an AWWWESOME retreat! From the games, eating together, lip sync performances, prayers, d-groups, activities, lessons, and songs....it was an amazing 24 hours with the ministry! Let's remember our decisions, the path we are walking toward, and remember the legacy we want to leave and God wants us to leave behind!!! The Time is NOW!!! ; )

Family Reunion

I just wanted to share some good news. I have told many of you that I was recently contacted by my former sister-in-law about seeing my nephew, Zavier, who I haven't seen in years. Anyhow, it happened last Thursday. My brother, Marlon, joined me to see his son play. It was awesome. Praise God and may this lead to many spiritual victories for my family.

Junk in the Trunk

A little peek into the happenings of a Teen Leader Fun Night...

Devo

Even though the devo was on Saturday in the afternoon and in a different room, I still think that it went well. We did a lot of acting that day from the exaggerated screams to the "School's Drama" skits that we did.

Memory Scripture

Ephesians 3:20 - Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.

Friday's Devo

Sorry for the late post, but Friday's devo was a different type of lesson. The main point of the lesson was to finish what we start and to be a man/woman of our word, since the teens were back from teen camp and wanted to do a lot of things spiritually. The devo was at the park and it was our first one in two weeks.

MoRe RoAd TrIp PiCs

How many teens does it take to make a fire???

Breakfast Club Trip!

So the Breakfast Club (all the disciples in the Central Region) just got back from their trip to Lake Piru! It was an...interesting, yet still amazing experience. From the bumpy road, to the crazy RV rides, to prayer walks, and many fun games of Mafia. I had a great time being able to bond with everyone. We left yesterday afternoon with 12 disciples packed in Shirley's family's RV and drove all the way to Lake Piru (near Six Flags). Then, we decided to go up to the lake. Some people decided to go swimming, while others watched and took some silly pictures. When we got back to our campsite we took on the challenge of starting our own fire! It took awhile, but it was worth it! Then after roasting some s'mores, we got in groups and went on prayer walks underneath the beautiful stars. The next morning we all woke up and had a group quiet time lead by Kevin after breakfast. And to finish off our trip we played multiple intense games of Mafia until we finally headed home. It was such an amazing experience that I will never forget :)
