Youth at VA Medical Center
This past Friday our youth came together and sang Christmas songs to a group at the VA Medical Center.
We were able to sing songs, lead worship, and interact with many extraordinary men and women who served our country.
The best part of the whole service was the time afterwards. Nobody in the room cared how well we may have sung or played our instruments. The time that we spent just listening to their jokes, poems, and stories made me realize how much more of a gift it was to just be there.
We came to minister to them, but instead they ministered to us.
This happens a lot more than we realize.

No Sleep Allowed!!!
It is our tradition to have a lock-in on New Years Eve.
This year, however, we will be pushing it back to January 22nd.
At the beginning of the lock-in we will be watching the movie "To Save a Life". You can find the link on this website! It comes out that night (Jan. 22nd)
To Save A Life is a new movie that deals with many issues that teens face on a regular basis (i.e. drinking, drugs, sex, cutting, suicide, etc.).
After we watch the movie we will return back to the Lighthouse to finish the rest of the Lock-in.
We will need atleast 2 more chaperones for this night. If interested, please let Thom know.
Students WILL have to have a signed permission slip to attend the movie. Parents are invited to come and watch the movie with us.

Scripture Challenge!
The middle school boys small group have been given a challenge to memorize an entire chapter of Romans 5.
We are opening this challenge to the entire youth group (including parents). We may have a general idea of what scripture may say, but many of us have a hard time finding or repeating scripture to others.
You can choose any translation you wish. The teens are using the NIV.
The cutoff date for the first memorization will be January 31st
