youth service ~ march 17, 2013

 

The boys were all duded up in their suits  :)

    

 

Abby was the pianist for the evening.

  

 

E.W. played part of the prelude.

   

 

J.R. led the congregational singing.

 

Our Cowgirl played the offertory.

 

An ensemble of teen girls and leaders sang…

 

… as well as the entire youth group with leaders.

 

An instrumental ensemble also played some special music.

The scripture passage was read by three of the teens.

 

And finally the preaching – J.M. had the introduction and explained how gold is heated to remove its impurities.

Our Computer Geek had the first verses ~ followed by J.F. and  S.W. 

     

  

The Cattleman provided the conclusion.

{sorry for the blurry pics of the young men!}

They each did a fine job ~ It was interesting to see how each personality was demonstrated during their time behind the podium.  ;D

 

^{James 1: 2-8}

² My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;

³ Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.

⁴ But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.

⁵ If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.

⁶ But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

⁷ For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord.

⁸ A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
