So wonderful to gather over dessert and coffee tonight to give thanks to God for CHARGE Youth and for all the people who have helped out in 2018 (providing meals, along with the leaders). Phenomenal to hear from the leaders and youth about how God has been at work in their lives!

NEW SERIES STARTS SUNDAY + This Sunday we begin a new series on 1 Thessalonians. Written by Paul to the Christian community in Thessalonica, this community was one of the first churches planted by Paul (along with Silvanus and Timothy - see the back story in Acts 17). However, very soon after their conversion, the Christian community quickly came to experience persecution for following Jesus as their King. In light of this, Paul writes to the community to encourage them to press on amidst persecution, with eager anticipation of Jesus’ return along with a rejoicing in the signs of God’s Kingdom already unfolding. Paul implores the Thessalonians to keep on pressing on in this hope, meeting persecution not with retaliation, but with love and holiness. It’s an amazing letter, that gives great encouragement as Christians live in preparation for the coming King.
