Don’t Follow the Crowd
Last week we introduced our theme in the youth group for 2025, “Set Apart”. One of the many ways that we can be set apart from the world is to choose to follow God instead of following the crowd. Often, we are faced with a decision of whether to do what everyone else is doing or to do what God has commanded us to do. Following the crowd is usually convenient.

Set Apart
This year our theme for the youth group is “Set Apart.” We are using I Peter 2:9 for our theme verse, which says “But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.” God calls us to be different than the rest of the world. We are called to talk differently, act differently, have different relationships, and be set apart from the world. How

Growing Faithful Children
Next Sunday, we are going to start an exciting new opportunity! We talk a lot about giving and how we can never out give God. This is something that we need to teach our children. We should be teaching them how important it is to give back to God especially since we are so richly blessed here in the United States. So many of our brethren throughout the world are not as fortunate as we are. That is why I am excited to announce that starting next Sunday, we are going to begin K

Making the Right Choice
Every day of our lives we are faced with choices to make. We choose when to get out of bed, what to eat for breakfast, and what we are going to wear that day. Life is full of choices but sometimes we make poor choices. In Genesis chapter 13, Abram and Lot are facing a dilemma. There is not enough room for all of their livestock, so they choose to separate. Abram gives Lot the first choice of where to go. Lot can choose anywhere around them to move to and Abram will go in the
