Teens E-News for April 24

Posted on April 24th, 2008 in Incarnation Teens by Derek Rotty

SCRIPTURE AND DEVOTION FOR THE WEEK

1 Peter 3:15

“…sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts.  Always be ready to give an explanation to anyone who askes you for a reason for your hope.”

When Christ is the Lord of our lives, we have hope as never before.  In fact, we have so much hope that we want to go and tell others and lead them to Him.  Are you filled with that much hope?  Do you tell other people about Jesus?  This coming week, let’s all try to be better witnesses for Christ, and bring His hope to other people.

WHAT’S GOING ON THIS WEEK?

Incarnation Teens Softball Practice (Saturday, April 26; 1 to 3pm; Baseball Field)

Incarnation Teens ENCOUNTER (Wednesday, April 30; 7:15pm; HFLC Gym; Open Gym @ 6:30; ALL 8TH GRADE PRE STUDENTS ARE WELCOME)

WHAT’S NEW?

Have you taken the youth ministry schedule survey?  If not, take a moment to send an email to Derek answering two questions.  1) Would you prefer the Incarnation Teens ENCOUNTER sessions to be held on Sunday evenings or Wednesday evenings?  2) Why?

FUNNY STORY!

Last night at ENCOUNTER, several hysterical skits were performed based on the Scriptural account of Pentecost, during which time the groups had to use props given to them.  One image stands out in my mind.  A young man wearing a pink and purple “My Little Pony” backpack shouting things in German!

The Pope Is In America!

This is the coolest thing to happen to American Catholics in nearly a decade (the last time Pope John Paul II visited)!  Check out all the coverage by going to the EWTN website!  Viva il Papa!

 Pray for Pope Benedict’s safety and health while he is here in America.

God bless!
