A group of us from Firestarters returned to Manheim Christian Day this morning to lead a chapel for the middle school students. Jen spoke to the kids from Isaiah 43:18-19 – “Do not remember the past events, pay no attention to things of old. Look, I am about to do something new; even now it is coming. Do you not see it?...” (HCSB). She talked about how we get into routines and shared that routines are often good, but that there also comes a time when they need to change. She encouraged the kids to look for the “new things” that God is doing in their lives and to be open to what He wants to teach them at church, as they read their Bible, etc.
After she shared, Jen led the students who wanted to participate in a prayer, asking God to show them what new things He was doing in their lives. She then invited them to share some of the things that God was doing. Although they were hesitant to speak up at first, a few of them did share and it was really neat to hear the things God is teaching each of them!
