I couldn't be more proud.....

..of the students in our youth group. This Saturday night they are putting on a coffeehouse to raise awareness of the situation in Darfur. This came out of a series that Doug and I did right before school started where we looked at Micah 6:8 and what God requires of us. I think many of our students were challenged by the ideas of doing justly, loving mercy and walking humbly before God. One of our students has dared to ask the question, 'why can't we do more?' And so we are having a coffeehouse. Our students are the ones who have put this whole thing together. They are promoting it at their schools and seem to be getting positive feedback about the event. One of our teen bands, The Steadfast, will be performing along with an art auction and coffee from a local coffee shop, The Morning Mug. All of the money raised will go to helpdarfurnow.org and once again I could not be any more proud of our students. Way to go FVCN students!
