 * Teen Sunday 2009**

This year's Teen Sunday service will be August 6 (7:00 pm) and 9 (8:00 and 10:30 am).

Theme: **Five Ways to Stay Close to God** (we'll come up with a 'catchy' title soon)

The service will follow a five-part outline based on an article written for teens by Rebecca St James. In this article, there are five excellent encouragements for Christians of all ages to remain faithful to their Lord. Click here for the article: []


 * 1) Get rid of the junk in your life
 * 2) Dig into the Bible
 * 3) Get involved in your church
 * 4) Dig into prayer
 * 5) Stay close to Christian friends

These five "checkpoints of life" have been aligned with these [|parables of Jesus]:
 * 1) The Parable of the Lost (Prodigal) Son - [|Luke 15]:11-32
 * 2) The Parable of the Net - [|Matthew 13]:47-52 (focus on v. 52)
 * 3) The Wise and Foolish Builders - [|Matthew 7]:24-29
 * 4) The Parable of the Lost Sheep - [|Luke 15]:1-7
 * 5) The Guests at a Wedding Banquet - [|Luke 14]:7-14

We'll select most of our music from two albums. In the list below, **click the album title** to hear samples from the iTunes Store. **Click the address** for the artist's official website. We have sheet music and chord charts for all of these songs:
