The Fall

Tonight we talked again about the fall of man in Genesis 3. One interesting question came up about the whole story of Adam, Eve and the trees in the Garden. We the trees literal trees, did this story literally happen? Or is this a figurative story meant to explain the separation between God and humanity in terms that are simple and easy to understand? Is it necessary to believe one or the other? If we believe that it’s literal, why? Are there reasons that the rest of our faith rest on? If it’s figurative, metaphorical, or alegorical, how does that affect our faith? Does it change anything? What do you think?

Veritas

So we just got back from Veritas yesterday afternoon and it was great! The speaker, though he was slightly cheesey, had some awesome things to say about rising up and getting out there doing the work of God. Things aren’t right in the world, but God in the process of fixing them. We need to join with God, to be God’s hands and feet, in order to bring about that change and right the wrongs that sin brought into our world. Plus we had fun with karaoke, learned about tattoo’s, talked about being leaders, found out some spiritual gifts. So check out these pictures!

Finally

Finally, a decent website for the Elm Springs Youth!!

I’m so excited about finally having a place to post our stuff. So look here for upcoming events, polls, recaps of last week’s lesson, thoughts for next weeks’s lesson, reminders and much more!! Oh, and don’t forget about videos!

So, first post:
Last night we talked about the creation story. After a day to think about it, does anyone have anythign to add? Have anything occured to you? Did anything spark any questions? Do you feel like you got something out of last night? What do you think of telling stories rather than typical lessons? Anything else you want to say?

Youth Group ate all the pizza!

Last night I went to the church expecting to eat some pizza but when I got there, the youth had already devoured everything! It was a sad day.
