"On this mountain the Lord of hosts will make for all peoples a feast of rich food...It will be said on that say, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, so that he might save us. This is the Lord for whom we have waited; let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation." (Isa 25:6, 9)

 

On Sunday nights, the youth and their leaders aren't just scarfing down calories (and carbs and sugar). Eating is more than that: a meal around a dinner table gives us the opportunity for rest, replenishment, and renewal. When we gather to eat in the house of the Lord, among the people of the Lord, and unto the glory of the Lord, I do believe that we are practicing and preparing and readying ourselves for the marriage supper of the Lamb (Rev 19:6-9)--that glorious and final feast which God will prepare for his people when all that is bad and wrong and sinful in this world will be undone. Thank you for nurturing body and soul by bringing a meal to John Knox Youth--it is a gift!

 

In Christ,

Carter

Title: A Journey of Delight: Learning God's Word

Hello Guys! Not sure if you’re like me, but this time of year I start to get excited about cooler weather, falling leaves and laughing at the line at Starbucks for a Pumpkin Spice Latte. Besides all of those Fall features, I also get excited about Football Season! What better way to kick off the Fall and Football season than the Annual Fall Kickoff Cornhole Tournament. This is a low pressure, random draw tournament that’s main purpose is to get all of us together for a night of fun and fellowship. We will be serving a simple hot dog dinner, water, lemonade and tea. Bring whatever else you’d like to drink. Taylor Rigot has held the throne for the last 2 years, so we need someone to step up to bring him down a peg. Feel free to bring a friend or a neighbor. There are a couple of games on TV that night, so when we’re done with the tourney, we’ll watch some football. Wear your favorite team colors! Hope to see you there!


When: Thursday, August 29th, 6 pm.

Where: Justin’s house - check your directory or contact the church office for the address

(Parking on the street in front of the house, but it’s a little tight, so you might have to park around the corner.)

What to bring: Whatever you’d like to drink and a competitive spirit. 

So we have enough hot dogs, please RSVP through the link below.


Bring it!
