Tonight at youth we had an absolute blast playing extreme tic tac toe 😅 The competition got intense, and there were lots of laughs all around!

After the games, we shifted into some deeper conversation and talked about biblical truths surrounding life. We discussed how God knits us together in the womb, knowing us before our bodies are even fully formed, and just how precious and valuable every life is to Him. It led to some really meaningful conversation and thoughtful discussion with the students.

We're so thankful for a group that can have fun together but also lean into important conversations with open hearts. ❤️

Join us next Wednesday at 6:30pm ☺️

Tonight at youth we played Clap Slap Cup, and honestly it was so much fun watching them play!

But after the games, we shifted gears and talked about one of the most uncomfortable topics to discuss with teenagers — s*x.

Not in a “health class” kind of way, but through a Biblical perspective.
We talked about God’s perfect design for marriage between husband and wife, how He created us with purpose, and how being fruitful and multiplying was part of His design from the very beginning.

These conversations can feel awkward sometimes, but they matter so much.
The world is loud about these topics, so it’s important our teens also hear truth, love, and God’s intention behind them.
Really thankful for a group of teens willing to listen, ask questions, and have real conversations tonight. 💜

Pizza bread night = success 🍕

It was loud.
It was chaotic.
It was a little messy… okay, a LOT messy 😅
But it was full of laughter and so much fun!

Somewhere along the way we ran out of cheese, so we hit pause and then the leaders helped finish the job—including Pastor Missy!
And honestly, they delivered 👏

We love nights like this, full of joy, teamwork, and a whole lot of memories being made.

Make sure you come see us this Sunday and grab a pizza bread to support our youth! (and taste all that hard work)! 🍕💛

There is something so incredible about getting to watch our youth step into the calling God has placed on their lives. 💜

This is Aven. She’s been faithfully serving on a worship team for years now, but recently been serving at Maiden Lane and it’s been such a gift to watch her grow.
She doesn’t just have a beautiful voice, she carries a heart that truly seeks to worship the Savior in everything she does.

It’s more than talent she offers, it’s surrender.
It’s obedience.
It’s saying yes to whatever God has in front of her.
We are so blessed to witness her walking in His plans for her life, and we can’t wait to see all that He continues to do through her. 🙌

We love you, Aven!!

Fearing God isn’t about being afraid,
it’s about honoring Him,
respecting His power,
and responding to His voice.

In Jonah 3, the people of Nineveh heard God’s warning and chose to turn back to Him and He met them with mercy.
That’s what a healthy fear of God does, it leads us closer, not farther away.

Join us Wednesday night at 6:30pm as we talk more about what it looks like to live with that kind of reverence. Bring a friend, we’d love to see you 💜

Tonight at youth we realized real quick how impossible it is to stay in a square when you’re blindfolded 🤣

And honestly?
That’s exactly what life looks like when we try to do it without God.

Jonah chapter 2 hit different tonight.
Because it reminds us:
You can cry out to God anywhere at anytime, even in the belly of a fish.
Sometimes it takes hard moments to shake us awake.
And when you finally turn back to God, everything shifts.

Jonah didn’t find God after he got out of the fish, he found Him IN it.

We talked about how sometimes God will allow us to hit a place where we realize we were never meant to hold it all together on our own.

Because the truth is,
Sometimes losing it all is exactly what it takes to remember Who’s been holding it all the entire time 💜

Come join us Wednesday as we continue our series through Jonah!

This week we are diving into Chapter 2, which is a rather short chapter, but still a powerful reminder that we can cry out to God wherever we are!
We will also talk about how God may use those moments where you feel the most broken to bring you back to Him!

So come see us Wednesday at 6:30 at Maiden Lane Church of God to learn more about Jonah 🐋

What better way to kick off the book of Jonah than playing a game with a whale? 🐋

Tonight we dove into chapter one and saw something real,
God calls each of us, and sometimes, we run.
We ignore it, avoid it, or pretend we didn’t hear it at all.

But Jonah reminds us that God doesn’t just give up on us when we run.
He pursues us.
He redirects us.
And sometimes, He allows things in our lives to get our attention and bring us back to where we’re supposed to be.
Maybe not a literal whale🤣 but moments that make us pause, reflect, and turn back to Him.

The question is,

When God calls, will we run or will we trust Him enough to follow?
