Youth Sunday in Less than a Month!
So if you haven’t been to Munchies or Crew recently you may not know that Youth Sunday is on May 16, which is less than a month away! Since the Youth (that’s you guys!) are in charge of this worship service, that means that you guys need to plan it. Just as a refresher the theme for this year is along the lines of “Storms in Our Lives.” Our verse is Matthew 14:22-36:
Jesus Walks on the Water
22Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. 23After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone, 24but the boat was already a considerable distance[a] from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it. 25During the fourth watch of the night Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. 26When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear. 27But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” 28“Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.” 29“Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” 31Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?” 32And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. 33Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.” 34When they had crossed over, they landed at Gennesaret. 35And when the men of that place recognized Jesus, they sent word to all the surrounding country. People brought all their sick to him 36and begged him to let the sick just touch the edge of his cloak, and all who touched him were healed.

Pretty sweet verses, right! Well this is what the whole service is based on and we will be walking the congregation through this passage throughout the entire worship. We still need lots of help at Munchies and Crew (writing, art, planning, volunteers). In 2 weeks we will be focusing youth group on finishing everything for Youth Sunday so come prepared.
Also just a reminder rehearsal will be the Saturday before (5/15) from 10am-noon. Feel free to invite family and friends to our spectacular Youth Sunday service on MAY 16th!
Peace Friends
