This week we had a smaller group than usual because of the beautiful snow fall and business trips (for both Loren an Hannah). Grayson caught Allayna, Leah, and Wes up on what they have been missing the past week or two in youth group. We all discussed what we've been up to and the students recommended some books (so impressive they read so much! keep it up guys!).
The students were reminded about the upcoming Winter Retreat and it sounds like they are starting to get excited about it. Grayson and Allayna both have been on a school retreat before but never a church retreat. If you intend to go on the Winter Retreat please register soon! The deadline to register is this Sunday 1/22
While having some tasty treats, we talked about the books of the New Testament and how they were organized. We learned that IANS (books ending in -ians) are letters mostly written by Paul to churches in different cities such as Galatia, Phillippi, Corinth, Rome, and Ephesus. We decided if we at All Saints were to receive one of these letters, the book of the Bible would be called Seattlites :) The churches were established after Jesus' death that was detailed in the first 4 books of the New Testament, or the Gospel- the good news. The letters were sent to the churches for encouragement and and correction.
After this we went outside a little bit early for a snowball fight and proved we all have terrible aim!
See you all next week!
Wes
