RYM Weekly Update 2.29.16

We had a great time at SNL last night. Congrats to Tyler Hruska and Mac Renslow for finished 1st and 2nd in our trampoline routine challenge.

We had an hour long discussion about intimacy and addressed the following questions:


  1. What forms what you believe and how do you decide what the rules are (how you live)?
  2. What is the purpose of dating?
  3. What is the purpose of marriage?
  4. What’s the purpose of sex?
As a foundation for understanding the answers to #3 and #4, we looked at Ephesians 5 and 1 Corinthians 6. I would encourage you to follow up with your high schooler about our discussion as I could tell the gerbil wheels were spinning behind their eyes. 

DRIVE & THE Q
This coming Sunday morning we'll continue walking through Genesis with your middle and high schoolers. We are using material from The Gospel Project to help form our Sunday morning catechesis curriculum. 

WAHO & SNL
We do have WAHO this Wednesday and the next(as a make up for the 'tornado' last week. (March 2 and 9)

The next SNL will be March 13. 



CAMP BOOYAH: July 10-14
Camp Booyah is already filling up as we have 8 churches coming this year. Don't forget to save your spot by turning in a deposit check for $150 written to 'Church of the Redeemer' with 'Camp Booyah and your camper's name in the memo.' You can put these checks in the offering plate, which is a safer way of them not getting lost if you hand them to me. Also, let me know if you're interested in coming with us as an adult leader. More details at CampBooyah.com.

Drew's Parenting Thought for the Week 
Your teenagers don't want your advice, so much as they want to hear your story. This week I went to my great aunt's funeral and learned more about her in that hour than I did in 38 years of being her great nephew. It made me sad that I didn't ask better questions in my time spent with her while she was alive. Too often kids don't know what questions to ask. It's okay for you to just tell them the stories- even when they don't ask. What if you scheduled a milkshake date for one night next week where you took out your son or daughter and told them your story- how you met your spouse, how you met Jesus, when you messed up and how the Lord has redeemed it. I bet it would be a milkshake memory that wouldn't soon forget.
