Tonight we started our Wednesday night activities. I knew we would be starting out small. It takes a few weeks for them to get back in the routine. But, they trickled in and I even had one I had hardly seen all summer.
I was also looking forward to tonight because I have a new volunteer! The cool thing is that he is just as excited! It wasn't an "ok I'll do it because you keep asking" kind of thing. I asked him once to consider it and he said he and his wife were wanting to volunteer in the church more and would love to!
We are spending this year focused on people from the Bible. After our vacation Bible school theme of heroes from the Bible I thought it would be a way to continue what was started. Then, after the mission trip when we decided to do scriptures that summed up our week, I feel like this year more than ever we can really get into the Bible! What I am happy about is that we are finding ways that the Bible isn't just an old book with stories from long ago. We are looking for ways it deals with our lives today. Last night we started by talking about Noah. Next week we will look at how things in his life are similar to ours. He faced ridicule when trying to do what God wanted, he wasn't always perfect but God still expected great things from him, and he had to make hard choices in his life-all things my youth can relate to.
So, where was God today? He was in the planning of tonight so that I could help my youth get closer to Him and gain understanding about His word.
Blessings,
Jennifer
