WOODLAWN YOUTH MINISTRY
- Faith on Fire

"Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." -- Hebrews 11:1

Have you ever sat down in the middle of your day or in the business of your evenings and thought about your faith: where it came from, how it was developed, and how strong it is now? This past Wednesday Night in the WY class, we did just that. The teenagers kicked off a series called Faith On Fire.

Every Wednesday night we are going to study a different aspect of our faith and also reflect on our relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We will join together in the classroom every week to discuss how God has blessed our weeks, our days, and our lives. I would ask that you keep these teenagers in your prayers as they take this little journey of faith. Some of them are working on strengthening their faith in God and some of them are in the starting stages of this Spiritual Walk with Jesus Christ. Please keep them in your prayers each week as the youth group grows closer to God.

Pancake Breakfast-
February 8th, we will have our second gathering of the year to fellowship and munch on some pancakes. I want to encourage everybody reading this right now to come join in on this great time together. You will be able to support the Youth, sending them to camps and retreats with your donations and get great tasting pancakes. We will serve from 8:30-9:30 a.m. May the Lord Bless your week!

Because of Christ,
Elijah
