New Challenge is set before you... As a youth group we spend 60 days reaching out to those in poverty needing Physical items. We collected household items, clothing, food, school supplies, and money for Haiti. But now we have the opportunity to reach out to those around us living in Spiritual Poverty - our unsaved friends. We have an outreach event coming up April 9th at New Life - UNITE. They are bringing in December Radio + Seventh day Slumber, setting up inflatable games, have some great giva aways. They are making it real easy to bring our friends out to something fun with other youth from all over Maine. And bonus -your friends will hear the Gospel!!!
So lets see if we can collect as many friends as we did other items, lets see if we are willing to reach our friends with the same effort we reached out to strangers!! Tickets are only $5 each - thats an incredable price. So please I need a number by March 17th to order tickets. Sign up you and your friends at http://stainlessyouth.weebly.com/ or bring $$ in an envelope to youth with the number of tickets needed.

Daily Bible reading
Psalm 30:4+5
"I sing to the Lord, you saints of his; praise His holy name. for his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may remain for a night, but rejoicing comes in the morning."
His favor lasts a lifetime - I don't know about you, but that phrase brings Joy to my heart. How often do we beat ourselves up in self-condemnation, unable to forgive our own mistakes? Often we use it as an excuse for not do all we can for God - He can't use me, He doesn't want to help me, I am not worth it. God favor lasts a life time!!! Does he get upset when we mess up? Sure -but it lasts only a moment. We need to trust that Gods Word is true and that we are favored by God. he can use us -he will help us, we are worth it to Him.
Get into those daily Bibles - you find a whole lot more encouragement and direction if you do!!

Saturday - Mark 13:1-31 and Psalm 30:8-12
