Stillnaz Youth Ministry Update 2/27
Stillmeadow Families,
This past weekend was our IF: conference and it was a powerful time of connection and insight from the Holy Spirit. One of the speakers talked about how when we are really thirsty nothing satisfies our thirst other than water. She mentioned her love of sweet tea but how when she is dehydrated thirsty, the real thirsty, that sweet tea feels sickening. Water is the only thing that satisfies. Jesus is our living water. When we are really thirsty in life in the middle of all the chaos, nothing else will satisfy. Even the good gifts from God cannot be enjoyed because we are not fully satisfied by Him. What areas are we trying to satisfy our thirst with something or someone other than Jesus? Join me in praying that our youth would know to their core the only One who can satisfy them and dive into the living water.
This week, in our year of relationships, we are talking about equipping servants and how Jesus created us to serve. We will continue to share our Ebenezer stories so keep asking how God is working in your youth's life! I will be sharing with the teens how their d-group leaders will be coordinating ways for their groups to serve together throughout the year! So lookout for texts/emails from your teen's d-group leaders sharing information about service possibilities. We are encouraging every d-group to serve together 4 times a year!
Here are a few highlighted announcements for the week and below are a few announcements to help us serve, grow and invite!
This Wednesday at 7pm is the Lenten service at Stillmeadow!
FOL registration is here! This year we will not be staying in Bel Air. We will be staying at Casey Harrison's house and my house and we happen to be neighbors!

Thank you to all who have already responded to the social media phot release form. If you haven't already, please take a moment to complete it!
Here are the reflection questions from this week to discuss with your teen:
What are some of the gifts God has given you?
Do you feel like you want to compete with your gifts? What security can we find in scripture when we feel that way?
Do you ever question if someone is worthy for your service?
Serving is loving others, changing us, and creating unity. Which of these have you experienced? Can you share a story?
What is the first way we can serve together as a d-group?
Are you looking more inward or outward?
What ways can you serve on a regular basis to those around you?
Please always feel free to reach out!
You are loved!
