Great Hike Last Saturday

Here are a few pics from our hike.

Check out the new pole over on the right

Ok ok. Nobody tried out the last pole I put up except maybe me and one of your parents. How do I know this? Because there were only two votes and they both were in favor of teens not dating until college.

Try the new pole before next Wednesday!

What's Up With Gangs

Tonight our teen Bible study took a turn away from the planned lesson when several of you raised questions about gangs.

I asked youthis question,

"Why do people want to join a gang"?






Here are the answers that were given.

1) Bad Family (a lot of problems at home)


2) Bad Location (living in a bad neighborhood)


3) Bad Clothes (to look cool)


4) To be accepted


5) To have a life


6) To be like others


7) To get respect


8) To be like a Celebrity


9) Love of violence

I am pleased with the thoughtfulness of these answers. Theses answers show a certain level of logical understanding of the motivation for joining a gain.

We just got started discussing all these things but there is one point I want to make clear.

The Christian does not need a gang in order to fulfill all that he needs. Most of the needs a person has for a social family setting can and should fulfilled through the church!
