What an awesome weekend we have had as a youth group here at Unite. It started Saturday morning with Unite's 1st Annual Walk-A-Thon. This was an event that allowed us to raise over 4,500 dollars for our students to go to El Salvador for a missions trip this summer! One of our students, Hannah, rocked it out for the ladies and led the whole field with 35 laps (with our size track it equaled 7.5 miles).
Sunday was just as awesome with one of our youth staff, Tamar, teaching our missions trip students a crash course in spanish. I took 3.5 years of spanish and I still learned a couple of new things in the very first class (go Tamar). Then, to have an awesome main service where our lead pastor hasn't been afraid to tackle the topics that many people just want to sweep under the carpet. Islam, Mormonism, the Oprah church, and other religions and popular idealogies and the way they line up with the Word of God. What an awesome tool for us to better understand and love the people in our community that may not share our faith.
Finally, we capped off this crazy weekend with a great youth service where we learned about how we should enter times of change, had a great time in worship, and ended the evening with some birthday cake. Happy Birthday Emily!!!!
Like I said, what a GREAT weekend!
