Love, Forgiveness and Sacrifice

Wow, last night at youth group was Awesome! I left feeling very energized and reveling in the fact that youth group is my favorite night of the week, being with you guys really brightens my week. To top it off 23 of you showed up last night, I was definately in awe.
As we looked at defining love, forgiveness and sacrifice your friends were a great help and a little confused as to why you were texting them asking such random questions. But it gave us such great discussion and hopefully made you think a little deeper about each word yourselves. Being done with our first full week of Lent it seems to be a great time to look at these three words and how they mean many things but the greatest thing they mean is Jesus. Seeing how he loved us so much that he was willing to offer his body as the sacrifice to forgive our sins is truly amazing. As we continue through this lenten season I hope that you can reflect on these words and feel God's grace surrounding you each day!

Some answers from your friends:
Love: Love is Jesus. Easy enough? Or something else?
2b in love w/some1 u 1st have 2b in love w/urself but just love would be just carin so strongly about 1 person that u would give up everything just 2b w/them
Love is not keeping score, running when things get rough. Love is caring deeply for someone and protecting them from pain and all hurts, love is forgiving, love is seeked by all, love is forever and never let go, love is communication, love is dependabel, love is honest even when u don't want to be, love is great, love can hurt but most of all God loves and we are to be like him, so love is a choice and a gift as well...
Ultimate trust commitment and devotion to someone...But idk I don't have much authority cuz I don't think I've ever been in it
Sacrifice: Bloody : ) Umm how about a payment made for something. Something given for another.
Endure the loss of
The act of losing or surrendering something as a penalty for a mistake or fault or failure
Giving up something without need or want of anything in return
Forgiveness: Same way I define grace its something you don't deserve but I give it to you anyways and everything is forgotten and I don't see the mistake anymore
I think forgiveness is more about yourself. Forgiving the hurt someone has done to you and letting it go.

Prom Dress Sale

Yes, you read the title correctly, we're having a prom dress sale. So you're probably thinking that the dresses are really old, worn and definately something you would never wear huh? That is definately not the case. Some dresses have never been worn, many only once, and many are from this past fall. We anticipate having around 100 dresses, sizes 2-20, all styles and colors with great low prices.
Come check it out this Saturday at the church from 9 am - 1 pm.
