Crossroad Reflection

Last week, we have a time to reflect upon why we go to a youth group.  Here are the responses.

"I would want to join a youth group event to meet new people, participate in fun activities, get out of the house, socialize, eat food, learn new things, have fun, relax, escape homework, and to grow spiritually."

"Meet new people, have fun, waste time, play sports, get away from reality, good food, to be with friends"

"Free food, girls and guys, loneliness, curiosity for religion"

"People are lonely so they want to find friends.  People are curious about religion because they are feeling dullness in life"

"Girls and guys and youth group is a place to explore feelings in a healthy way."

"Matthew 6:27, do not worry about tomorrow, Luke 9:3 take no tunic, food, sandal with you.  Youth group is a place where they feel safe, they can process their feelings of joy and struggles."

Crossroad is a place where we experience the love of God.  The love of God is experienced through genuine friendship.  The love of God is experienced through being used by God in the midst of our powerlessness.  The love of God is experienced through discovering the real meaning of freedom.
