Final Week - What Not to Wear

Sorry guys! I accidentally posted this to my blog instead of the youth blog! :)

We wrapped up our What Not to Wear series by talking about wearing things that don't fit. Remember that the people you hang out with influence you - for the good or bad. You will start to display the same characteristics as your friends the more you hang out with them. Surround yourself with close friends that can keep you accountable and encourage you and positively influence you.

Here are a few pictures from last night:

What Not to Wear - Bad Character

Remember: ANYBODY CAN BE EVERYBODY

Would you give yourself the stroke even if no one else saw? Be the person God created you to be. Anybody can cheat, look at things you shouldn't when no one is around, tell a lie to get out of trouble. God created you to be honest. To do what is right even when no one is watching.

Saturday, October 3rd: 6:00pm Bowling at SIUE $10

What Not to Wear - Jealousy

Last Wednesday we talked about jealousy. God wants you to be satisfied in Him alone and not desire the "stuff" and "lives" that other people have.

Saturday, October 3 - JH & HS Bowling at SIUE!!! Time & details to come this Wednesday!

What Not to Wear - Pride

Hey Driven Youth! This past Wednesday we talked about not wearing pride. Often times when we get overwhelmed with life "stuff" because we are trying to do too much on our own. We forget that we have limits. You are not enough on your own. God wants to be your strength. We are dependent on Him to make us complete. Remember your limits this week. And remember that you are not enough on your own. You need God! And with His help, you can change the world!

Here are some pics from "Gangsta Night"
