This week at _tag we're planning on Baptizing those who want to make a profession of their faith. This is great physical representation of a spiritual reality of young men and young women making Jesus Lord of every part of their lives. We're really looking forward to it.
If you want to join in make sure you grab a permission slip, get it signed, and bring it with you to Room 162 at 6:30. We'll get you prepped and ready.
In the meantime, listen to Jared's latest Weblog on Baptism. That Jared is a Weblogging maniac.
Last Wednesday night _tag gathered in the Theater at New Life to Launch a new season as a family. Teenagers from our church and city in Grades 7 - 12 gathered together to worship, pray, study the Scriptures, and meet with Jesus. It was nothing short of Epic! What made it so epic? I'd like to point to the the fun stuff we were able to do that night. I'd like to point to the massive curtain drop at the beginning. I'd like to point to the overall vibe created that night. I'd like to point to the number of people that joined us in our Vision. I'd like to point to the BPS appearance. Certainly, all those things were great, but they weren't the reason _tag's re-launch was so incredible. The truth is it was an epic night because it was a packed house of teenagers focused on the simple but awesome Truth of Jesus.
I like all the other stuff. I think utilizing some of the language and media of our culture has some value. (And anytime you get a BPS concert for free, you should certainly take advantage of it). But it all pales in comparison to knowing "Jesus Christ and Him crucified." (1 Corinthians 2:2) As we enter this new season together we are renewing our focus on the Truth of who Jesus is, what He has done, and why that matters for us. This journey promises to be an epic one. I can't wait.
So the 7th blew away our expectations in every way. But I'll tell you what's better than that. The 14th is on the way. The 7th was only the beginning. See you there.
