Youth Rally
August 17, 2008

What do youth, frogs, turtles, crawdads, volleyball, singing and incrementalism all have in common?  

August Youth Rally! 

Today we held another Youth Rally -this time at George Rogers Clark Park.  As we sang the opening songs, our minds went to how God gave us nature to enjoy and to cause us to glorify Him. 

There were about 45 people in attendance and we were thankful to see some new faces.  We enjoyed a picnic after the service and the kids – young and old – had a good time hiking trails, playing games, and catching all kinds of creek creatures. 

Bro.  Joe brought a lesson on Incrementalism (click here for outline). He used the expression “inch by inch, it’s a cinch” to explain how our life is a series of increments, one step at a time, towards a goal.  He demonstrated this by having several young boys take a jar full of BBs and drop them, one at a time, into a larger container.  By the time the lesson was over, the bottom of the bigger container wasn’t quite covered, yet there were 2000 BBs in it! 

Everything we do adds up over time, yet each step might not amount to much.  For example, we might be able to get away with being lazy one day, but if it were a daily habit, our homes and lives would be a wreck (Prov. 16:24-33).  Remember Rome wasn’t built in a day and any great accomplishment is done just one day or one step at a time.  Be not weary in well doing, for in due season you shall reap if you faint not. (Gal. 6:9). 

The young people really enjoys these meetings and we are thankful for everyone who carries a burden for our youth.
