God is so good to us! He gives us just what we need at just the right time.

 

For all who weren't able to make it to youth group this week we continued (in the SH) with our study of Jesus through the season of Lent. We saw that he corrects our views that bad things happen to people relative to their degree of sin. Instead, he teaches us that in a fallen world awful things happen to everyone, but to find true hope is to repent of our sin and trust in him. Thank God, as well, that he is so very patient with us. There is never a 'too late' until our lives are actually over.

 

For the JH'ers we got to hear from Josh Smith about his upcoming vision trip. How awesome is it, that we get to support Jesus' work all over the world through our prayer! Keep on praying! He will need it.
