Stillnaz Youth Update 6/17/24

Stillmeadow Families,

Happy Monday! In our summer journal, Footsteps of the Faith, this morning the reading was from Genesis 3 where we see the fall of humanity as they choose sin over the will of God. We see the lure and rationalization of sin. We see the shame sin causes as they cover themselves afraid of their nakedness and vulnerability. We see the pattern of hiding, blame, and lack of responsibility. But then we see a God who goes to them and says, "Where are you?" My prayer this week as we meet and parent our teens that we will go to them in their struggle and shame and say, "Where are you?" Encourage your teen to participate in the devotionals each week!

Tomorrow night is our prayer walking night! The teens are participating but we are inviting the entire church so come and walk with us! Here is a schedule...

7:00 all adults and family members meet in the cafe; teens will meet in the worship space

7:10 we will all meet together for a kick-off and explanation

7:30-8:30 walk and pray the neighborhoods surrounding Stillmeadow in groups of 4-5 people

Teens will be back by 8:35 and will be on the front lawn for free time until parents arrive

Next week is mission week where 30 of our teens and workers will be serving our local community with Servants. Please be in prayer for that we would live into our calling of freedom and "not use our freedom to indulge the flesh but rather serve one another humbly in love."

Please always feel free to reach out!

In His hope!

Pastor Tabitha
