AMPLIFY UPDATE --- from Marcus

Wednesday evenings throughout the months of January & February our students began reflecting during AMPLIFY on what it means to GET UNCOMFORTABLE as a follower of Christ. Too often youth groups (as well as churches) get so comfortable they shift to a HOLY HUDDLE mentality as oppose to a HOSPITAL FOR SINNERS.  In trying to live out the CALL to be in the world - not of the world - transforming the world (John 3:16-17) groups shift too far to one end of the pendulum only to discover they have "stopped caring" for others - the lost, the needy, the poor, each other. 

On Wednesday nights from 6:00-6:45pm in the Exchange AMPLIFY gives students a chance to examine how they're doing in applying the WORD to their daily life.  Enjoying team building activities, devotions, guest speakers, games, videos, etc, AMPLIFY seeks to help students' hearts become more sensitive to the things that mattered to Jesus.  

If you haven't been able to join them on Wednesday evenings...its never too late! AND...those awesome small groups follow AMPLIFY from 6:45-7:30pm. Hope to see you there.
