LTC for 2007 will be starting up in the very near future. We will have an informational meeting and sign up during the ministry fair on Sunday Jan 21. This year we will be attending LTC Northwest which will be in Prineville, Oregon. We are excited about this new location as many churches from the Northwest will now be involved and we will be doing LTC with the young people that we go to youth rallies and summer camps with. The dates for LTC this year are April 20 - 22 (which is not Easter). This year’s theme is “Unstoppable” and the Bible bowl book is Acts. LTC is for youth grades 3 -12 grade and we look forward to seeing as many as possible involved this year. For those interested a Bible bowl study course on Acts, led by Robert Frisk is on Wednesday nights in the bus barn. Thanks, Mark Borsheim

Shepherd's Corner... Encouragement by Dan DuPey How wonderful! It is always, not sometimes, but always good to be encouraged. We read over and over again how Paul encouraged the early disciples. It is amazing to read how he, Paul, overcame physical obstacles by encouragement. He, at the same time, reminded the disciples frequently that they should be encouraged by the knowledge that they had regarding Christ and the Hope that is available for us all. The word encouragement is based on a Latin root word, "cor" meaning heart. This is the same root word we find in courage. So, to encourage is to inspire the heart, to give strong support, hope within, confidence for the heart, and to deeply uplift one's spirit! The word, "discourage", would mean the opposite coming from the prefix "dis". So, we do NOT want to solicit or hear discouraging thoughts or words. We do not want to deprive or discourage the heart. Knowledge of the Word and understanding the Hope that we have should give us encouragement. We should be fueled by this knowledge and anxiously encourage those around us. As we look forward to 2007, we do so with a great vision of participation within our ministries as well as promoting community awareness and outreach! We encourage you to become involved in one or more of the ministries being presented to you on Jan 21. As we all begin to work within the body with one common thread tying us together, we will draw closer and closer to Christ. We pray that we will continue to strive to encourage one another enhancing the growth of His Church! |

Teen Scene... Teens, can I
ask you a question? How do you explain a love that has no
explanation? And what will happen if you let it touch your heart? In
a world that cries to be loved, has God's love impacted you deep
down? Do you see God as a stern figure of authority demanding that
you "get it right", or have you glimpsed your heavenly father as he
really is, smiling at you with impossible joy? It may seem odd to
think about it in this way but God is head over heels in love with
you, just the way you are. You might think that you are unlovable
but God loves you. Not because you are flawless, not because you are
a perfect person, but because you are you. He is intensely committed
to your highest joy. His is a passionate love that gives, and gives,
and gives. What he wants in return is for you to love others and
share the transforming love of God with those people that you love.
The thing about God's love is you have to let it in. Open your heart
and feel his love!
-Scott
