Feb 2007 INCHWESTA

02.15.2007

Well, it is hard to believe that it has been over a month since my first Sunday. I want to say thank you to all the youth and families who have made us feel so welcomed over the past month. It has been a blessing to begin to get to know everyone. We feel blessed to be here!

I wanted to give you a little look into what the youth have been up to over the past month. On Sunday mornings we have been looking at different religions, and learning how we can share our faith with those of different religions. On Sunday nights, even in the snow, we have been having a blast doing a variety of activities including mafia, ultimate spoons, and other games. On Wednesday nights we play games, have a time of worship, and a time of teaching. Currently we are going through the book of James.

The youth have decided on a t-shirt design for the youth t-shirts. On the front they will have the youth group name, INCHWESTA, and on the back top it says, “ARBC Youth,” and underneath that is says, “In Christ We Stand” which is what INCHWESTA means. If you would be interested in ordering a shirt, or if you would like to see the design, please let me know in the first week of February. They will cost $16 each.

I want to close with a passage in James that presents the central teaching of the book, James 1:22. “But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves.” It is my prayer for all of us, including myself, that we would live out our faith actively and live according to the scriptures!

In Christ,

Josh Robertson
