The boxes will be planted with potatoes shortly and the harvest will be donated to Winnipeg Harvest in the fall!

I would like to continue the discussion this past Sunday’s sermon.  I know that you teens have lots of good ideas on the subject of love in community, so let’s explore those!  I was talking with a former youth group member on Sunday and they mentioned to me that one of the downsides of a smaller group was not having that sense of community with people his own age.  Right now we are in a bit better place, as you all are pretty close in age, so let’s focus on this community aspect and figure some things out :)

Make sure you bring your Bibles, too! And, as always, bring a friend!!!  The more often you bring a friend, the more often you’ll have someone close to your age in community ;)

First John is full of talk on love.  Writing to his own church, this epistle is a great guide not only on love, but on love in community for churches.  John says that love for one another is so important in community that if we claim to follow Jesus but do not love, then we do not truly follow Jesus!

How do we respond?  This week we took some time to share responses at the end of the sermon.  Have a listen and give your own responses below if you like!

Perhaps a Star Wars themed Bible study?  Hmmmmm…

Also, I am getting you the info tonight on this summer’s Under the Radar week at Siloam Mission.  I’ll email the info and then post it up on the website as well!

See you Friday!

What does real love really look like?  What does it really sound like? Act like?  It seems John thinks this whole following Jesus thing involves more than just words … perhaps it involves the way we actually live?
