Frontline 12/9

What we did this week:
Tonight, we had a different meeting because we had just done the over night event on Friday.  Instead of doing our normal routine, tonight we spent some time talking about liturgy.  I tried to convey to the students that every part of the worship service is done intentionally, and it all builds up to the benediction when we are sent out.  Hopefully learning some details about why we use the order we do during worship will make it a more life-giving experience rather than something that seems boring or rigid.

After this conversation, I led the group through an ancient spiritual practice called Lectio Divina, or Holy Reading.  It is a meditative way to read Scripture with an emphasis on quieting our hearts and minds and listening to what the Holy Spirit may be trying to teach us through God's Holy Word.

Announcements:
Remember, next week is the Frontline Dessert night fundraiser!  After the Christmas program, we will serve dessert in the fellowship hall in the basement.  Boys need to bring a gallon of vanilla ice cream and girls need to bring 2 dozen cupcakes.  The proceeds from the free-will donation will be split evenly among the students who participate.  Please have all desserts to the church no later than 5:00 PM next Sunday, clearly marked for Frontline.

After cleaning up from the dessert night, we'll head to the ARC and talk about some details for the mission trip next summer.  Remember, next Sunday is the deadline to sign up!!!

Thanks to all who made the sleep over a great time!  We hope to do something similar in the next few months.
