Connecting People Through Jesus Love
un·a·feared \ un´·a·feared´\ adj [origin: LUMC Youth] 1: Boldly stepping out of one's comfort-zone to serve God. 2: Shamelessly taking a stand for Christ. See Isaiah 43:5 & Psalm 23:4.
It's safe to say that Sr. High Springmaid 2003 was a sucuss ! We all got another chance to renew our relationship with Christ. It seems that no matter how many times you go to Springmaid Beach, you always get something new out of it , something to take home and share with others.
The bus ride there is always an interesting experiance. Once we leave the church, everyone is always cutting up and being silly. It gives us all a chance to hang out have some fun, but most of all it gives us a chance to prepair ourselves for an awsome and spiritual weekend. So look out Springmaid Beach, Here We Come!!!
Once we check in, we get to go and worship which is realy cool ! This year our theme was the "Cross Roads". We prayed that when we reach those times in our lives when we are not sure which directon God wants us to go, that he would reveal himself to us, guide us, and help use to use our gifts and all that we have to offer in our ministry so that others might see him through us !
At the end of the night we get together to have a group devotional
where we can talk about anything and everything that's on our mind. When we are finished we get to spend some free time together. You can just hang out and talk to friends, work on some music for the talent show, or spend some time getting to know everyone a little better. The best part though, is getting to know God and Jesus better ! This is just a taste of what's to come in the next couple of days, so stick around and check it out !
Atlanta Fest 2003 was an awesome experience for everyone that went. During the day we would go and ride as many rides as we could, and play games. Each evening we would go and see the bands performing that night. There were a lot of good bands like Mercy Me, Sonic Youth, Jars of Clay, etc... but there are no others like Relient K, and Toby Mac when they hit the stage!
Youth 2003
Youth 2003 was really amazing trip that we took to the University
of Tennesse this summer. It was a global gathering of over 9,000 youth, coming together
to worship God and learn more about their faith. It was so awesome to meet people from
all over the country and come together to sing and worship every day. We stayed there for
a week and took classes and worshipped in sessions. It was a totally spiritual experience
for everyone who went and it was lots of fun to get close with the rest of the youth group!
