What Are You Wearing?

Hey Mom and Dad!
Sorry it has taken me so long to post what we talked about last Wednesday. Last week was a neat night. There was, for the first time in a while, an excitement to worship God musically! One thing that was awesome is that the student band wrote a song last week and led it that night. the song is called "Beautiful Refuge". We are looking forward to teaching it to you adults Sunday October 5. Some of the lyrics go as follows...

Cause Your my
Refuge
The One I
Cling to
And Lord I
Love You
Beautiful Refuge

As far as the message it was intense for sure. We talked about forgiveness, which is always a tough topic to deal with. Within the first 2 months being the new student pastor i was overwhelmed with the number of students that would talk to me about somebody else who hurt them. I shared over and over again Colossians 3:12-14, encouraging the students to forgive others as Christ has forgiven them. I finally decided to teach on it. Last Wednesday night I urged the students to clothe themselves in love, for Paul says in verse 14, the most important piece of clothing to wear is love! I challenged them to wear love in their relationships with others and to create space in those relationships to allow for one anothers faults! I had some very meaningful prayer times with some students afterwards who were ready to let some things go! It was neat, a great night for sure!

We still are looking for help for the outreach event coming up next week, September 17. If you are interested please email me and we will get you plugged in! Thanks for investing in the life of your son(s) and/or daughter(s) alongside of myself and the other leaders within fusion.
