Happy Monday! We hope you had a great weekend and we pray you have a great start to your week! 

We recently changed our logo and name to "NFC Youth" as we wanted to attach the identity of the youth group closer to Newspring Family Church. We're still the same youth group, just with a different logo and name! Come by the Family Center and grab a sticker of the new logo!

WEEK 3 BIG IDEA: God's plans for you are good.

We looked at the passages found in Psalm 40:1-5, Matthew 16:13-23, and Romans 8:28. We looked at the interaction between Jesus and Peter when Jesus gave Peter an inside scoop about God's plans for Peter's future. Jesus promised he will use Peter to build and grow the Church. A short time later, Jesus gave his disciples another look into God's plans for the future and they didn't sound as good as the first set of plans with the Church, they involved Jesus on the cross, something Peter did not plan for his future. Peter simply couldn't accept that Jesus would die. We learned however, situations can't always be avoided, but God can still be trusted. Even in the most difficult times, we just have to remember why God can be trusted. 

At the end of service, we challenged everyone to ask themselves the questions throughout the week:

-What am I wondering, hoping, or fearing about my future?

-How has God been good to me in the past?

-Why do I trust God with my future?

Acts 2:42 "All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, and to fellowship, and to sharing in meals (including the Lord’s Supper), and to prayer."

The vision behind our potlucks is to create a space where we can gather around the Word, gather together in worship, and fellowship together with a meal. We have a sign-up sheet for anyone who would like to bring an appetizer/snack food or drinks, and we will bring a main course dish for everyone.
