Youth Group Meets - Watches Patriots

Okay, we're here for serious business but Will figured out how to get decent reception on the TV. So we are just about finished the third quarter and the Pats are losing, 13-10. We've ordered pizza - veggie, which Will thinks is weird. We also have Johanna, Abby, Tanner, Elizabeth, and Jake. After the game and pizza, we'll read Compline and talk about what it means as a teenager to be a saint. What fun? We'll keep you posted on our progress.

Now the Pats have won and we're reading Compline. Jake is looking in the dictionary to see what "ineffable" means - "to great or extreme to be expressed or described in words." It was used in today's Collect - "that we may come to those ineffable joys that you have prepared for those who truly love you."

We talked about our responsibility as saints - the fact that others might look up to us because of our faith and commitment. It makes us think about the way that we act and the things that we say. We are going to look for situations where we can make a difference by virtue of our sainthood.
