Frontline 10/14

What we covered this week:
This week, we finished our discussion on Genesis 1-3.  The major things we chose to focus on were a) The power of God's word in creation b) God's pure existence in trinity c) The implications of man and woman (both) being created in God's image.

We also spent time in a method of prayer that we haven't explored much yet--spending time lifting up prayers for our friends gathered around us, then thanking God for the many blessings we have, and finishing with a song (a benediction of sorts).

What we're covering next week:
Next week, we are going to look in depth at the story of Noah.  Please read through Genesis 6-9 before coming to Frontline.  Remember, my teaching style is largely based on your willingness and ability to engage with the information, and making space for questions.  The more you do beforehand, the more you will get out of our time together!

And now, for a blog-readers-only special offer! The first three people to e-mail me one song (each) is what we will sing next week.  I'm not posting this on facebook, so whoever reads this first, shoot me a song suggestion!

Prayer Requests:
Please remember the prayer requests we lifted up tonight.  Remember, God is concerned not only with our petitions for his action, but also with our voicing his thankfulness and praise!
Pray for God's mercy and grace in the lives of friends, for those who have health concerns, for family members who are suffering, and for God's continued provision and blessing.

Announcements:
- First off, let me encourage you not to give up on the corn maze.  Weather has been HORRIBLE and nobody is to blame for that.  However, we still need to do everything we can to make this a success.  Currently, we have not yet broken even, so we really need to push hard these last few weeks.

-If you are a non-facebooking member of frontline, please either talk to a fellow frontline student about the recent message or e-mail me at danunekis@gmail.com for a special announcement.

-Let's continue to sit together during church on Sundays!  It's a great experience for us to see our peers around us during worship, and I think it's really encouraging for the rest of the church to see you all taking church seriously and being involved.
