We will host our high school group tomorrow in the Ocheltree Shepherding Group. First, a troupe of talented students will perform a skit, "Jacob's Double Wedding", giving us a new spin on an old story.
Then, our entire high school group will stay in class with us and talk. Youth minister Aaron Scott has prepared some thought-provoking questions that will get us sharing stories. The youth group has visited other shepherding groups with great results. There are adults and high school students who have never met each other, even though they attend the same church each week. This gives us the opportunity to meet one another, talk, and begin relationships that can last for years.
We need one another within the body of Christ. The high school students need to hear our stories, and we need to hear their stories. We need to know how we can pray for each other, encourage each other, and be in each other's lives, without necessarily being in each other's business--although sometimes that's called for within a church family, as well! This will be a great experience and I hope many of us can be there to experience it.
Come early! We have lots to talk about!
