Hey guys,
Have you ever heard of dog shaming? They're those funny pictures dog owners post when their pets have done something wrong. Those pictures are hilarious, but think about this: would they be as funny if they were pictures of us? The truth is there's nothing funny about the way we feel when we mess up. When we think about the mistakes we've made or the ways in which we've let people down, we begin to feel overpowered by shame. And sometimes one of the places we feel that the most is at church. It's hard enough to feel like we've let people down, but the thought of letting God down can be even worse. It can even be enough to make us want to walk away. The good news is, that's not at all how God intended for us to feel when we make mistakes. In fact, it's not even how He
feels about us.
This week we'll look at a familiar passage of Scripture that shows us exactly the way God feels about us-no matter our mistakes. And we'll see that we have the choice to stop listening to shame and start listening to God's love.
See you soon!
Greg

PURSUE CONFERENCE // SAVE THE DATE
Friday, February 24 - Sunday, February 26
The weekend conference includes large group sessions (good music, motivating speakers, and fun), a time to choose your own workshops, and a stay at the Hilton Hotel in Harrisburg, PA with 1,500 other students. It is a great bonding time and fun with your friends! Meals are not covered; most will be purchased in the food court connected to the hotel. Hotel rooms are by gender and will have an adult chaperone in each.
We are very excited about this event and the opportunity it provides to get kids excited about their relationship with Jesus and connecting with one another. Stay tuned for more details.

| Fuel Offering Every week we receive an offering as a continuation of our worship to God...giving back to him a portion of what he has given to us. As our guests, we ask that you not put anything in the bucket...this act of worship is reserved for those of us who call Discovery our home. All contributions will go directly to Discovery Christian Church and help support our missionaries in El Salvador. |
