This Weekend! (October 24th-26th)
Okay Guys!
There is a lot to remember about this weekend : )
First: The Fish Fry is super important. From Friday from 4:30 to 7:30 we need volunteers to help with the dinner. It is a specific fundraiser for this year's MAP Trip, so you'll want to be there. Also, bring a dessert PLEASE!
Second: The Corn Maze is on Sunday instead of youth group. We will be meeting at the church at 1 pm and drive down to Iron's Fruit Farm together. It should be fun : ) I'll call you to remind you and give you all the details. I just want you to save the date!
Hope you have fantastic weeks!

-check out that video. We only listened to the song, but it's a pretty cool video.
Can you sing "I'm not who I was" about yourself? Do you want to?
Well God wants us to. In John 5:24 he talks about crossing over from death to life. He wants us to leave our old life behind.
Colossians 3:12 tells us to clothe ourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. What would your life look like if every time you changed your clothes you decided to put on those things? How would you be different? (Also, this came up in discussion- someone pointed out that when you are dirty you actually have to change your clothes, not just cover yourself in axe body spray. you might smell good, but you are still dirty...good point!)
Start thinking about your life and what needs to change-then ask God to help you change : )

An Explanation of our Name
Our name The Crossing came about because of our desire to have an identity deeper than just youth group, because we wanted something to call ourselves. So the brainstorming started. What kinds of words do we want to be associated with? What should our name say about who we are? Eventually the word journey came up, which we kind of liked, but not completely. So we used a thesaurus and that's when we found the word crossing. This, we all agreed on.
Because, we are all on a journey. We are all crossing over from death to life, from sin to righteousness. And we're on this journey together. Youth group is a chance for us to learn and grow together. Each day we learn to live more like Christ, to turn away from the old lives that we led. We are crossing over to a new life, a life with Christ.
John 5:24 - I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life.
