The Birds, Bees, and God

Please remember that this week we will be at Cornerstone! This means you get dropped off and picked up there!

OK, so as the title of the post suggests and as has been mentioned, this week there will be a presentation on healthy/God-pleasing sexuality at Cornerstone. Quick true story: a few weeks ago I was sitting at my desk in my apartment attempting to do some school work, but as is often the case was distracted by thoughts of the youth group. I was thinking about how I could go about having "the talk" with the teens on sexuality, purity, etc. A few minutes into my thinking and an email pops up from Sandra at Cornerstone that says something like "Mike, a Christian group from Crisis Pregnancy is doing a presentation on healthy sexuality at our church. Would your group like to come?" So I said yes.

IN OTHER NEWS:

Parents: when I called on Friday to let you know about youth group for last week being cancelled I had also mentioned that I would like to have a parents' meeting on the 27th from 9:30 - 10:00 pm in regards to Serve '09. I wasn't thinking too clearly, as we are having a Mario-Kart tournament that night, and the point of it was to be an "outreach" night; a night where it will be easier for the teens to invite friends to than a "normal" (hah, what's normal with me in charge?!) youth group, and it would be best to devote the entire 3 hours to that. So I am wondering if it would work for you parents to have a quick meeting after church on March 1st? We could either have it at 11:30 am instead of Sunday School, or at 12:00 right after SS (we can do whichever the majority prefers, if this works). It won't take long - a half-hour max; I just want to let everyone know what some of the expenses are, and get some suggestions from the parents about what I should be thinking of as we begin to plan for Serve and make sure that we have open lines of communication for the trip! Parents can either email me your preference, or just let me know via the comments section below about which option works best and I'll make a decision shortly and let you all know! Thanks :)

Teens: start telling your friends now about the Mario-Kart tournament on the 27th. We will have some sweet prizes (don't ask me what, haven't figured that out yet!), food, and 3 hours of adrenaline filled Mario-Kart racing!!!

I hope you all enjoyed Riel day!
