“Not that
I have already reached the goal or am already fully perfected, but I make every
effort to take hold of it because I also have been taken hold of by Christ
Jesus…forgetting what is behind and reaching forward to what is ahead, I pursue
as my goal the prize promised by God’s heavenly call in Christ Jesus.”
-The
Apostle Paul (Philippians 3:12-14)
Hey
friends!
The
Infuse party last night was SO EXCELLENT! I hope you all had as good of a time
as I did. If you weren’t able to make it, ask one of your friends that did to
hear all about it. It was such a good time celebrating the love God showed us
and the love we could show each other. Good times! Remember: If you want a FREE
copy of the DVD showed last night, please join us on Wednesday in the Family
Center from 7-8:30PM for the Rewired Christmas Special!
This
has been an exciting few months already! For you 7th graders, you
have now made it officially one semester into your Junior High life. For you 8th
graders, you now only have one semester left before you continue your grand
journey into High School! With all of these changes, though Christmastime is a
great time to celebrate with friends and family, it is also a great time to
take a breath, slow down, and reflect on the year thus far! It has been an
eventful few months, and I thought it’d be good to look back on them to see
what we’ve learned from them and how God has acted through them.
I
put together this picture with a bunch of the slides of events or series since
the summer. Please look over them and try to remember one excellent moment, one
thing you learned, or anything that is burned into your memory.
To
all the commenters, 1) What is the funniest memory you have so far this year
since the summer? 2) What event did you totally forget about until you saw the
slide for it? 3) If you had to sum up ONE MAJOR THING you’ve learned so far
this year, what would it be?
I
hope you all have an absolutely wonderful Christmas filled with celebration,
good times, family, friends, and a time set aside to thank God not only for all
of these things, but also for His son, Jesus, who gave us freedom from sin and
brokenness!
Merry
Christmas!

1. Favorite memory would HAVE to be The Dora Announcement Video. When we messed up the lines and we could just NOT stop laughing. Even when I watch it I'm in tears.
ReplyDelete2.I totally forgot about the Q&A Buffet. I dont even know how I forgot? Haha
3. One major thing I've learned this year is Being a Christian is asking him into your life,and handing your life over to God and letting him change you... for the btter. So you can live more like him.... I realy want to live like him (:

1. Favorite memory would have to be the Beach Party cause i dove into the water when it was 50 degrees outside
ReplyDelete2.I also totally forgot the Q&A Buffet. i was just sitting at home and im like oh that was today!
3. one huge thing i've learned this year about being a Christian is that you should still act one at school not say ur one and act different. Also, handing your life over to God and let him change you for the better. You can live like he can if you do!
1) My favorite memory is camp. I am so extremely bummed that I can't go back next year :-(
ReplyDelete2)How could I forget any of them? I loved them all :-)
3)I learned that Christianity isn't about asking God into our core, it's about what happens AFTER that. You have to life like Jesus did.
Hmmm... My favorite memories would have to be camp, Infuse, performin Carol of the Bells last night, and friends.
