Today’s Gospel (Luke 13:22-30) gives us an account of Jesus teaching His way toward Jerusalem. To a question asked by someone on the way, Jesus answered, “Strive to enter through the narrow gate”. What does that mean to us? Maybe it means that Jesus wants more from us. Maybe it means He wants us to do better, to do our best, for Him.
Maybe it means He wants us to be the best version of ourselves, for Him.
We’re not jockeying for a position of “relatively good” compared to others.
We’re not trying to stay just ahead of the slowest in the race. We’re not trying to just squeeze into Heaven. We’re getting our life in shape to stride through that narrow gate!
We’re strivin’! We’re thrivin’! We’re prayin’! We’re sayin’! We’re preachin’!
We’re teachin’! We’re behavin’! We’re believin’! We’re learnin’! We’re lovin’! Strive!
Junior High and High School Youth Groups Schedule:
We will launch our school year Youth Group gatherings on:
Sunday Sept. 8 for Junior High from 6:30 – 8:30PM in the All Saints Youth Room Sunday Sept. 15 for High School from 6:30 – 8:30PM in the All Saints youth Room.
As you start your new school year, please know that we will pray for you as you begin and continue with this new adventure. We’ll pray for your safety, for your good health, for your enjoyment of your classes, for your teachers, for your families, and for you. We’ll pray that you grow mentally of course. But more, we’ll pray that you grow your love of God, your love of your neighbor, and your love of yourself.
We’ll pray you work hard, tackle challenges, do your best, enjoy, have fun, laugh, learn, strive and thrive, do well and do good. We’ll pray “you bloom where God plants you”.
We’ll pray for “that kid”. We’ll pray “that kid” is not “that kid” for long. Find “that kid”.
We’ll be cheering for you at your games, at your performances, and as you move through your daily opportunities. Go get ‘em! If not you, who! When the going gets tough, get going! You da man! You da woman! You da best! You can do it! Rock n Roll!
Oh yeah, come join us for Youth Group. We’re better when you’re with us. So are you!
Parents, please know that you are very welcome to join us for all or part of any Youth Group / How gathering. You may drop in at any time. If you want to help us during the gatherings, you will need to complete in advance VIRTUS training. We hope to see you.
