Hey Guys!!
We are going skating this Friday at Bowness Park. They no longer rent skates anymore, so if you need some skates, you either have to buy it, or you just might be that lucky person with the same sized feet as me and I'll let you use mine.
Please be at church at 6:00 or we can leave quickly. If you want to meet us at Bowness, that is also a possibility, but please be there at 7:00.
Invite your friends, dress warm, and have FUN!
P.S. If you guys have extra skates that you think someone might want to use, could you please bring them!!

How's your Heart Doing?
Hey guys and gals! How's it going? I hope you're all have a great week! Below is a Devotion that was mailed to me today and I thought I'd post it for you all to read! Let me know what you think!
Kingston
“I said to the LORD, "You are my Master! All the good things I have are from you.” Psalm 16.2 (NLT).
That verse totally expresses the feeling inside my heart right now! I know life is not always easy, but recently God has been working on my heart and I can confidently declare, “LORD, You are my Master! All the good things I have are from you.”
Our heart’s condition is very important. Proverbs 4.23 (NLT) says, “Above all else, guard your heart, for it affects everything you do.” The heart is important to God because that’s where our emotions and feelings lie. When Jesus comes into our life, He transforms our heart. He takes all the bad things out and puts in His love, joy and peace instead. He takes out the bitterness, hate, grudges, negativity, and all those bad things. Some issues take longer than others to be changed, but when God works in your heart good things are happening! He changes the way we look at things in life. When we get our inside world (our heart/mind) put right, it’s easier to see God in the outside world.
Since I’ve said to Jesus, “You are my Master!” I’ve received only good things from Him. Moreover, all the good things I’ve ever received have come from Him. Everyday He gives me new gifts. Even when problems come my way, I can stand still and praise Him, because I know He will turn them into positives (see Romans 8.28). Ask Jesus to be your Master today and receive all the good stuff He has for you!

Common Question # 1
Hey gang!
At http://www.christianitytoday.com/teens/ the site has a lot of teens who write in and ask a lot of questions about certain things about their faith and becuase it's Valentines Day in a week or so, I thought I'd post one of the common questions that surrounds dating. The answer was written by some people with some good credibility and I agree with everything said.....if you have any questions, feel free to check out this site to see if the answers to your burning questions are posted!!!
Is It OK to Date a Non-Christian?
Question: I have always told myself I would never date a non-Christian, but lately I've been wondering if it's all right. There's a guy at school who is a wonderful person and honestly one of the sweetest guys I've ever met. He has high standards like I do, and accepts what I believe, but I don't think he's a Christian. Still, I can't help but like him—he's such a great person! I've been praying about this a lot and have asked Christian friends for advice, but I'm still not sure what's right. The Bible says we aren't to be yoked to unbelievers (2 Corinthians 6:14), which I've been taught is a reason not to marry a non-Christian. But the Bible isn't very clear about dating. These feelings just won't go away, and I don't know what to do.
Answer: My advice is, stay where you are. You feel uncomfortable now, but not nearly as uncomfortable as you would if you fell in love with someone who didn't share your beliefs. Then you'd feel like you were being pulled in two directions—one part pulled toward God, another part pulled toward a person you didn't think you could live without.
You're right that the Bible isn't clear on dating non-Christians. Besides, "dating" means different things to different people in different situations. Sometimes there's no emotion involved—it's just a friendly way to go to a dance or to a movie. However, I think most people will admit that in the back of their minds, they think about the possibility of getting romantically involved with the people they date.
That's why it's simpler and much less heartbreaking to avoid dating people who aren't Christians. It's so easy to fall in love, even when you aren't intending to! Once you're seriously involved, it's terribly painful and confusing to both parties for the Christian to make a choice between God and this powerful feeling of love. I'd advise you to stick to dating those who share your beliefs.
That certainly doesn't mean you can't befriend this wonderful guy! In fact, I hope you invite him to go to church or youth group with you. Talk to him about your faith. Ask him if he's interested in learning about Jesus. You could help this great guy become a follower of Jesus.
And there you have it folks! Hope that gives you a clear picture about the dangers of dating non-Christians! Any Comments? Questions? Have a great week!

How well do you know your BIBLE?
Hey Guys!!
What's up??
I've got this problem and I need your help. What verses in the Bible would you guys use??
Here's what someone said to me:
"Excuse me, but will I go to heaven?? I mean I'm a good person. I help people whenever I can, and whenever Christmas and Easter come around I always go help out at the mustard seed serving the homeless. I've never smoked or done drugs, and I absolutely hate swearing; it's a filthy language. I come from a good home, and I have a great relationship with my parents. I believe there is a heaven and a hell, and there is definitely something out there, but I don't know what it is. Will I go to heaven?"
Well....what do you guys think?? What verses in the Bible would you guys use to back up your thoughts?
