Pray For Us: An Update From Larry

In the mood for a few weeks of high pressure, high stakes test-taking!?!

Hmm, probably not.

Youth GroupNew York’s standard high school tests, the NYS Regents Exams, are upon us. 8th-12th grade students around the city are in their final week of preparation for two weeks of testing. And it’s no joke. More and more pressure is placed on students every year… it affects their future education options, their move to the next grade, their school and teachers, their home life, and their stress level.

The Everyday Family Group spent time recently putting together encouraging

notes and gift cards for our youth group students and their friends– just small way to encourage our kids and allow them to be a blessing to their friends.

Please pray:
* for our 8th-12th grade students, that they will be confident and prepared
* they will be a bright light in their schools and a source of encouragement and kindness for their friends
* the notes our group put together will reveal the concern and love of God himself
* the Everyday Youth Group is a source of hope and true friendship for students in our community
* all our Everyday Groups continue to find unique ways to serve and bless our city

Your prayers are a gift to this world…never stop praying!

New Teaching Series: JOSEPH

To any one living in the real world, the cliches of commencement speeches, self-help books, and motivational posters ring hollow.

Follow your dreams. Believe in yourself. Reach for the stars.

Really?! Most of us will never be a professional basketball player, or the President, or an international business mogul. No matter, because there is something much bigger, much better, and much more certain than our own dreams and abilities.

Meet a man whose life story reads like box-office smash, and is rich with application for our lives today. He was betrayed by his brothers, enslaved by a foreign nation, falsely accused and locked away in prison. But then, when all hope seemed to be lost…

Meet a man who dared to dream bigger– who dared to dream God’s dreams– and learned something we need to understand today.

Meet Joseph: God’s Dreams Come True

Pray For Us: An Update From Nathan

Everyday Groups 2Exciting things have been happening in Everyday Groups!
      * The Youth Group experienced their first baptism and moved to Friday nights.
      * The Family Group went on a field trip to the MET and had a great time.
      * The Inwood Group planted a garden for the students of Inwood Academy for Leadership.
      * The Creativity Group launched this Sunday with great success.
As you pray for our groups, I’d like you to do 2 things:
     1) Praise God for what he’s doing through your group. How has God effected your life through it?    What’s your favorite thing about your group? Tell God how thankful you are. Be specific.
     2)  Pray for a group that you are not a part of. Pray for God to strengthen and protect them as a spiritual family. Pray for their leader. Pray that God would use them in big ways to further his kingdom. Be specific. You can find info about other groups here: Everyday Groups.
 
Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. – Ephesians 3:20
