I have swept away your offenses like a cloud,
your sins like the morning mist.
Return to me, for I have redeemed you.
Isaiah 44:22 (NIV)
Why would the God of all deem us worthy to speak such sweet words?
This past month we have opened up the question of why. Starting in the beginning and working our way through the Bible, seeing how His plan of redemption unfolds. I can’t thank you enough for continuing to think of the family ministry through your prayers and support. May you pray that the family’s here at St. Jacob’s would grow in their intimate, personal, and authentic relationships with the God of all.
This past month, we also had the opportunity to join the youth group at St. Peter’s, Lexington, for their annual youth week! The week was full of fun activities like going to a driving range, a family night, serving, and ending with a laser-tag lock-in and hearing about God’s mission for us.
As we look forward, please pray for our youth’s upcoming lock-in during Labor Day weekend and the continual ministry God has planned for St. Jacob’s.
As always, we would love you, the congregation, to get involved in the lives of youth. If you are interested, please feel free to reach out any time!
In Christ,
Matt
Youth and Family Director
