I left youth group last night in a hurry, but I wanted so badly to stay and continue our discussion. Whether you liked our study last night or night....thank you for participating. I think everyone in the room had something to say at some point. I really appreciated that. Thanks.
Ok moving on.
Regular youth group time this week as far as I know....
September 24th. That's not this Sunday but it's next Sunday, we are meeting at 6pm at Soldiers and Sailors park (that's the little park where they have music in the park in the summer). That night we're having a See You at the Pole Rally. Tons of youth your age packing that little park out. How cool will that be?
Wednesday September 27 SEE YOU AT THE POLE!! This is your chance to stand and pray for you school, for your teachers, for your principle, for your community. If you need a ride, I'm going!
Nov. 3-4 THE CRY Convention in Jamestown. We're going to talk about this Convention this coming week at youth group. If you won't be at youth group let me know and i'll get you the info. It's a Friday night/all day Saturday convention in Jamestown. Really cool stuff going on.
Dec. 30 2006-Jan.1 2007 Winter retreat thingie.....(we don't have an official name yet for it) Lots of details still in the works with this but mark it on your calendars now. The dates are set in stone. A very very cool winter retreat to get you ready before you go back to school. FUN!!! FUN!!! Did I say FUN!!! I can not wait to go myself!
So I posted a funny video with Napoleon Dynamite on it.....most of you have seen the movie right? Well the dancing part comes right out of the movie. (if you haven't seen the movie I
would recommend it......either you'll like it, or you'll think it's dumb.....it's clean PG so no worries there) ANYWAY....do you know who David Crowder is? The music that's going on in the video is not original to the movie!!!!!! That's what makes this funny. David Crowder is a really rocking worship guy that looks like me! I had my goatee first and mine's longer! ANYWAY, he totally rocks and this is one of his songs. I'm glad some of you liked it.Did you know that Veggie Tales is now on Saturday morning cartoons on NBC? Well it's a little bit different....they don't look at the camera and say, "the Bible says that you kids should....." but it's close. The hope is that kids will fall in love with Bob and Larry and then go buy the videos.

veggietales on network television...! wow! the things i miss when i get to college! i juast hope they didn't chop out too much religion from it. is it the classic old episodes redone (rack shack and benny, madame blueberry, etc.) or are they just cranking out new ones?
if i might ask, what was the discussion in youth group about the other night?
i actually did recognize the david crowder song. i thought that was a good combination, the NP dance and that song.
We started a study series. It started with a video and then there was some discussion and an activity and then some discussion.....the topical thing was being authentic and wearing masks or putting up a front so that people around us wouldn't see the real us. It was good.
Veggie Tales....not totally sure, but my understanding is that it's new episodes.....and they have had to chop some of the religious aspect out.....they can say that "the Bible says" but they can't tell the kids that they should live by what the Bible says. I heard an interview with the creator the other day on the radio.
OK, so I guess I will post my first ever comment on this blog thing. Bearded youth pastor, I have to say I thought the song/video was hilarious, but wasn't sure if it was supposed to be, so I said nothing. That kind of humor is right down my alley. I watched over and over again cracking up the whole time(alright so I'm easily amused).Part of the reason it hit home with me was because the dancer could easily have been one of my cornball buddies back home in the sticks just being themselves(cornballish).
Steve, it's nice to be able to "hear" from you on this blogspot. I still get to see the rest of the gang here so I am glad you comment now and then. As I said I have never commented before (it takes forever with my peck,peck typing) but I do enjoy reading everyone's comments.
