Many fun and exciting things have recently started to happen in the youth ministry. First off on thursday nights, we have started introductory course on apologetics, where students from both the junior high and high school can come and learn the basics of apologetics. The students are throughly enjoying it and learning how to defend their faith and talk to non believers. This has caused many to have talks with friends for the first time about God. Secondly, for the past two months we have visited a church in Long Beach and helped serve homeless food and talk with them. This has been a great success with many students from both the high school and junior high taking an active role in giving up the last Sunday of each month and helping others in the process.
Now for what we are doing in the future. This summer we are going to Pine Summit from July 5-July 9. This is a summer camp where the students will learn about God and bond together. The cost for the entire trip which includes food, room, paintball, zip-line, pool, street hockey rink, frisbee golf course, and much more including memories is only $220. The memories alone will outweigh the cost of the trip. The $100 deposit for the trip is due June 14 and the final payment is due June 28. Also, the theme for the entire summer is "The Ideal Lifestyle". We are going to be discussing the differences between the world's and God's ideal lifestyles.
