HS Winter Getaway
It's Christmas break, and what could better than spending it secluded away with friends, hanging out and spending time in God's Word?!
This December 28-29, we're going to pull away to Silver Falls State Park for 27 hours! Silver Falls is has a nice lodge for us to relax, play games, sit by the fire, worship and learn together.
This trip is designed for you to grow in your relationship with God and each other.
We've got movies, games, a Wii on the big screen, great food provided at the dining hall, and couches & lounge chairs galore.
2. SOMETHING FOR YOUR HEART
Psalm 139:13-16
Mary was an ordinary teenager, yet God chose her to accomplish great things. Today, God still looks for ordinary people who are willing to trust him with their lives to accomplish great things. Psalm 139:13-16 reminds us that God created, designed, and crafted each of us especially for what he wants us to do. In fact, you were wired to know God and make him known. Nothing else will really satisfy you.
Reread today's passage and meditate on what it's saying to you. The real Christmas question is, "What will you do with this Jesus?"
How does it make you feel to know that God created you to know him and make him known?
Choose a personal way to express praise to God. Take some time to praise him.

THE LIFE OF CHRIST, THE BASIS OF FAITH
Chances are, you know who Jesus is. But do you really know about Jesus? He is probably the best-known person in history, and yet there's a lot that people don't know about who he was, what he did, or why he did it. In this 48-week devotional, you'll spend time reading Old Testament predictions of Jesus, stories about Jesus, what he taught, and the miracles that he performed.
