A NOTE FROM ME TO YOU!
Hey guys! I want to let you know about a few things happening in the life of our youth ministy. This coming Sunday! September 25th! We will start our new series, Surrender. I'm so excited about this series and have already began working and growing from the studies. I encourage you to pray for God to use this series in your life. Also, beginning this Sunday, is a new start time. Our new start time is 4:00 and we will end at 5:30.
IYC!
The initial payment/ committment was due for IYC 2012 on September 11th, but the date snuck up on me and I extended the date to September 25th.. please make sure that I have your commitment and initial payment of $140.00 from you this coming Sunday. Also, keep October 15th open as this is a BIG IYC fundraiser. If this is a busy homecoming/sports day there is plenty of "before and after" work for you to do to still participate in this fundraiser
ISYC!
Illinois State Youth Convention is approaching. This is sure to be a GREAT weekend! The cost is afforable, the schedule and hotel is new and fantastic and line up is dynamite! WOOT WOOT! You will not want to miss this ISYC with The Skit Guys! Guaranteed! Deposit of $55.00 is due October 9th to reserve your spot. The remainder ($90.00) of the trip is due November 20th.
THATS NOT ALL FOLKS!
Think about this for the week....
"Would you give ___?____ up because God has something better for you?" See you Sunday (late afternoon) at 4:00-5:30 if not before then.

Back to School
"Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed." (1 Peter 1:13)
Who are you? I'm not asking how you described yourself in your Facebook profile or yearbook bio. I mean, who are you really? Could I figure it out from looking closely at how you live your life?
In the verses leading up to today's verse, Peter has just finished describing our salvation -- how God brought it about and how it has changed our destiny with Him forever. We have been shown the mystery of Jesus. We have believed and become children of God.
What now?
This week, we'll listen as Peter tells us to "become who we are." Start with this very efficient verse:
Prepare your mind for action: Unplug from anything that makes it hard for you to think and focus on God's Word and His will for you.
Be self-controlled: Exercise the power of "no" so that you can say "yes" to the best things.
Set your hope on grace: Stop living for dead-end pleasures, possessions, or statuses; live for the heaven you could never earn -- the heaven you belong in because you are God's kid through faith in Jesus.
Think: Is your mind prepared for whatever action God has in store for you? Are you controlling your desires -- or visa-versa? What are you most hopeful for today?
Pray: Ask God to help you to have a mind prepared for action, self-control, and your hope set fully on His grace.
2. Proverb Of The Week
Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out. Proverbs 10:9
3. Questions For Reflection
- When I look at the lives of others does dishonesty pay in the long run?
- In what ways am I not being honest in the way that I live every day?
- Why wouldn’t I want to walk in integrity rather than being dishonest?
4. FORGETTABLE FACT
A snail can sleep up to 3 years.
5. POTENT QUOTABLES
Courage is contagious. When a brave man takes a stand, the spines of others are often stiffened.
~ Billy Graham
Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm.
~ Winston Churchhill
6. UH, THAT'S FUNNY
What's round and bad-tempered?
A vicious circle.
