Kicking Off the New Year

Wut up Yardigans? Last night we talked about a couple of exciting opportunities for the fall: D-Groups and serving.

If you are not in a D-Group yet, start thinking about signing up for one! There will be two new groups starting up this fall. D-Groups meet in homes on Wednesday nights at 7pm. They will start meeting on September 30th and will go for ten weeks (with a break for Thanksgiving). Your D-Group is where you can be a part of a smaller community within The Yard. It's a great place to grow closer to other students and leaders and be challenged in your faith.

Also, start thinking now about serving. You will have the opportunity to serve in Kidzone, Vibe (if you're at least a sophomore), or The Yard. More information on that will be coming in the next few weeks.

At the end of the night, I challenged each of you to take a hard look at how you're really doing. Are you merely a hearer of the Word, or are you a doer? Is there anything standing between you and a growing relationship with your Savior? Then do whatever you need to do to take care of it. Remember, we're given one short life here to determine how we'll live for eternity.
