Ecclesia

This month is my first month speaking strictly to High Schoolers.  My middle school pastor Sean Gajda officially takes middle school duty this month.  We are gearing up for students to get back to school and use their campus as their personal mission field.  This has been a remarkable summer that has been filled with inspiration and revelation from God.  This is going to be the greatest year so far for Alive Youth Ministries.  We took over 150 students to camp this summer with over 30 of them being baptized.  We have seen students step up in leadership and volunteer roles throughout the church but it is time to get these ideas in motion.

Ecclesia means Church.  This month we are going to look at an aspect of what the New Testament church should be with an action step to coincide with it.

Week 1 = Sharing the story of Jesus / praying for 5 students to share the story of Jesus with this year.

Week 2 = Helping the poor / we are going to work on a Habitat for Humanity house and participate in a Neighborhood Blitz.

Week 3 = Care for the hurting / we are going to launch a ministry called Life Hurts God Heals.

Week 4 = Feed the hungry / we are going to have our first Food Fight For Hunger, a massive 500 gallon mashed potato food fight to raise awareness for the hungry (entry fee is canned goods for the food pantry)

I want our students to begin this school year radicals knowing that THEY ARE THE CHURCH!  Join with me as we pray that students all over take that same cry.
