Trinity Newsletter - April 2019

The youth participated in various volunteer activities during February and early March.

In early February the youth ministry replaced a broken fence post and completed other fencing repairs at Janie Spainhour’s house.

In late February and early March, the youth ministry did yard work at Shirley Lewis’ house. Three youth participated the first Saturday and eight youth participated the second Saturday.

The sixth-grade girls and moms had a mom and daughter event on Saturday, 24 February. They got manicures and ice cream. The event was designed to help the sixth-grade girls and moms bond, and hopefully increase participation in congregational and youth activities.

The youth participated in the Sunday School Family Fun Day on Saturday, 2 March 2019.

The Senior Youth met the first Sunday of March. The Bible study was on Isaiah 53, Matthew 16:16, and Luke 24:18-21. The discussion included: Who is “us” in Isaiah 53:1? Who is Isaiah 53:2 referring to? Whose sorrows in Isaiah 53:3? What does it mean: “we esteemed Him stricken by God”? The Lamb of God received the punishment of the flock hat had fled. Who is accounted righteous? Whose iniquities?

The Senior Youth prepared breakfast the second Sunday of March. We had a 10-minute discussion on 2 Corinthians 6:1-3 and Isaiah 49:8. The discussion included: How can the grace of God be in vain? The importance of God’s grace to us. The seriousness of God’s grace to us. Not being an obstacle to God’s grace in our ministry to others.

The Middle School Youth met the third Sunday of February. The Bible study was on Hebrews 4:16, Leviticus 16:23, and Hebrews 10:19-25. Discussion included: Who made the final sacrifice? What can we expect of God? Christ is our mediator.

The Middle School Youth prepared breakfast the fourth Sunday of February. We had a 10-minute discussion on Hebrews 3:1-6. Discussion included: Moses was the faithful servant, Jesus is the faithful son. All creation owes its being and daily life to God. Jesus fully revealed God’s will. Jesus revealed the fulness of God’s grace.
