got life?

This week at FSM we had a great reflection time on the meaning behind Easter. We talked about what it means to have life; drinking from the well that never runs dry. It is such a beautiful thing that we have the opportunity to serve a God who came and gave His life for us. But it is only when we take Christ's sacrifice personally and identify it with our sin that we can really understand how much he loves each one of us. I hope you all came away encouraged to find your life in Christ.

Make sure to stay tuned... we have a lot coming up in the next few weeks. This Friday is Good Friday and Sunday is Easter. Sunday morning FSM leaves for Biloxi, Mississippi to help the rebuilding efforts from Katrina. The following Sunday (the 30th) FSM will be hanging out with the Burmese students at 5 PM. Talk to Andy and Alissa if you want to go. In the meantime, we are gearing up for Disciple Now Weekend. Make sure to turn your $30 in soon if you plan on coming. It's going to be an awesome weekend!

Disciple Now Weekend: Coming Soon to a ridiculously cool youth group near you!!! So we checked out the D-Now venue this morning, and I must say, it has some awesome potential! We have a rockin' band called Manic Bloom leading worship for us and a really cool speaker coming in for the weekend. We're going to partner with some other church youth groups to do D-Now, so it should be an exciting weekend.
