We had a GREAT night's sleep in our replacement accomodations-the Hampton Inn...at least for those who slept??? All the kids enjoyed the opportunity to get to know their 'cabin' groups with several late night chats!
In honor of World Cup this week and to surprise Maddie.. the group decided to surprise her by joining Kristin at Maddie's Regional game in Dayton- and then back in the vans to make the winding mountain trek to our mission site!
More pictures to come but the kids dove right in to our evening worship and 'club' with our fellow churches... Lexi and Brandon even were finalists in our group games :-)
Our theme for this week and for our worship and devtions is...
DEMO-- Live Like Jesus...
Imagine reading about the beauty, precision and composition of an incredible song but never hearing it played. Although demos have since gone digital, singers used to record their best music on cassette tapes, allowing others to hear an example of the artist's work. These demo tapes displayed the artist’s ability in ways words never could.
It’s kinda like being told to live well, love others, pursue the most important things, but without ever knowing why – never seeing how those things come together in one life. How do we serve? How do we love? How do we live well? What we need is a Demo: a single example that shows us the rhythm of a life completely in tune with God’s best for us.
Jesus is that Demo. By studying the way Jesus served, loved and lived we have an incredible example of God’s best plan for us. But, like a good song, you weren’t meant to only read the lyrics, but to turn up the volume and sing along. How will you reach out? How will you step in? How will you let go? How will you live like Jesus?
