Hey everyone! It’s been raining pretty heavily around here and the ditch and driveway to the church is flooded. Hopefully it’ll be clear before LPY tomorrow (Wednesday, January 7) night. If not, we may have to cancel LPY.
I’ll send a text to everyone to let you know if we cancel or not, so make sure you’re subscribed to our texts. To subscribe, text “lpyouth” to 41411.
Also, I’ll update lifepointyouth.com with info tomorrow by 3pm.
I hope to see you tomorrow!
Thank you for making 2008 such a great year!

It’s a little short notice, but we are going to be putting together some shoe boxes for Operation Christmas Child tomorrow (Tuesday, November 11). This originally started out with just the girls small group, but they’ve invited everyone to help.
We will meet at the church at 11am (since you’re out of school), go get some lunch, and then go shopping for things to put into shoe boxes to give to children all around the world (you will just need money for lunch, the church will buy everything for the shoe boxes). You can see what they do with the shoe boxes at samaritanspurse.org.
If you have any questions, let me know! I hope you can make it!

Check out the 31:1 Coalition, co-created by one of our guys! From the site:
We’re just two normal teenage guys who wanted to do hard things and try to beat lust! Job 31:1 says: “I have made a covenant with my eyes not to look lustfully at a girl.” And girls, this is for you too; girls struggle with lust just as much as guys. Ephesians 5:3 says: “But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people.” We just want to keep this blog going with posts on what we’re going through. Leave comments about your struggles and victories over lust!
