"Welcome to what?" you may ask!! Welcome to a new school year!! Welcome to a fresh opportunity!! Welcome to our brand new Blog!!
Each year while you were in youth, many of you participated in mission trips and centrifuge! If you did go on these trips, you know the frustration of being there (wherever it was... Ecuador, New Orleans, Centrifuge, etc) and wanting to continue the 'camp high'.... that is why we are going to blog. We want to continue some of those things that created the camp high!
I'm not really hung up on numbers, however, there is an overwhelming and alarming number I'd like you to know about. The funny thing is, I don't even KNOW the number! Haa haa. Here it is: According to statistics; something like 80% (this is the number I do not know!) of high school graduates NEVER return to being actively involved in a church once they leave home! That is SCARY to me!! I have had the honor or watching most of you grow from aggravating middle schoolers into wonderful young adults. You have so much to offer those around you. I have seen you grow in your walk with your Jesus, and I do NOT want to see that stop just because you aren't at home any longer.
So, we are going to give this blog a go... see what happens. Here is how it will work:
Each week (Sunday night, most likely) I will post a scripture and a few discussion questions.
You, at some point in the week, will visit the blog and respond to the questions!!
How does that sound? Easy? I sure hope so!!! I do not want this to be a burden at all, but something you look forward to.
I will also create a post for you to comment on relating to prayer requests.
I want this to be YOURS.... so... What suggestions do you have??
Also, I am making this a 'closed' blog. That way, not just anyone can leave comments!! IT does NOT have to be only FBCBlairsville friends, it can be friends you have while you are at school, I will just have to give them permission to join!!
So, what do you think? Ready to get started?
Love you bunches.....
Krista
