Texting is the “essential” tool of any teenager. Given that reality parents need to have as much information as they can on this new medium. LG has created a very useful website to help educate us all. You can visit the website here.

Lesson Topic: we focused tonite on Haiti ( was spurred on by this post at rethinking student ministry) It was a great conversation. A friend from Berean Baptist, Aaron Grosch., who has been to Haiti was our guest. He shared some personally observations about the character of the Haitian people and the plight of their place larger story.
this was our first real week back at the church since CHRISTmas. we hosted dogsled ’10 last week (see the video below) so much fun for leaders and students.
we used some video from the web to set up the discussion. we looked at some maps to get the location set in our minds. aaron spent the next 30 minutes sharing some stories of his journey there during the summer of ’08. we looked at a few scriptures Psalm 60, 143 to wrestle with the tension of why bad things happen to people and pushed through some conversation about where was God in the mess. the good word was the assurance that God was where he has always been…right there. as an act of worship and prayer each person lit a candle in silence for the haitian people.
volunteer involvement: it was great to have a couple new parents join us. we were a little light because of the girl’s chrysalis flight happening this weekend. so excited for the three students who are on the weekend and the two who are serving on team. we lost our older guys too because some special work they had to do on the weekend. but its worth the sacrifice for them to invest their time.
student involvement: the biggest take away is next week’s rockin4haiti. as of now, we’ve got four amazing regional bands (hope to add a couple more) committed to sharing their talents and helping us raise money to send to haiti. it was cool to see the students texting their friends to get the word out even before we prayed ourselves out. next week will beanother moment where even though we’re in a small town, we can have global impact for the Kingdom. we used the video from our pals the elms this is how the world will end to send us on our way. it was a positive end…as the video gives a sense of the beauty of the haitian people.
