Youth Group Update
WELL!
It's been a while since we last blogged so get comfortable, this could
take a while…just kidding.
It is now July and
we just celebrated our country’s independence day!
We hope everyone had an enjoyable holiday!
Armory of Christ has been pretty busy, especially since we just wrapped up our first retreat of the
summer a couple of weeks ago. Thanks be to God we had over 30 teens participate in our retreat! Everyone was such a trooper considering this retreat literally lasted 11 hours. But make no mistake about it because everyone had a great time and it
really gave us a chance to take a closer examination of our relationship with
God. From the leader’s perspective, lives were changed that day.
Now the rest is up to them and God but we continually keep them in our
prayers. It was a day that we will never forget. If you have a facebook, check out how
we spent the day told in pictures!

We have also been
doing pretty great with our regular meetings on Thursdays.
It is truly an inspiration for us, the CORE Team, to watch how the Lord
works in each one of us. We have
been talking about Fatherhood this past month and it was amazing to see how the
teens contextualized this word.
The Holy Spirit definitely worked through us leaders and we were able to
show them how much their Father, our real father, loves us and how He is just
waiting for us to open the doors to our hearts. We can pretty much say that we all have
a new concept of what the word “father” is.
Moving forward, our youth group has big plans for the rest of the summer.
What are they? We don’t know yet…but they are going to be GREAT! Join us, we promise we will be
encouraging, funny, and welcoming ;) No really, God is with us and we want to
share in His love so come check us out some Thursday!
Until next time
(which hopefully is not another year from
now),
God bless and take care!
Sincerely,
Armory of Christ
