Youth Ministry Connection
Zion Lutheran Church 9th-12th Grade
February 2023
February is upon us and a lot of times when we think about February, we think about love. And yes, the mushy gushy romantic love is something to be cherished and celebrated. However, we cannot forget about another Love that is unconditional, unchanging, and everlasting.
"Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." (1 Corinthians 13:4-7)
Now these verses aren't necessarily a cause for us to nudge those around us and let them know all the reasons they're failing in loving us. It could be a motivation for us to think and possibly change the ways we love others.
However, the most significant thing about these verses is when we realize how God truly does love us perfectly. In fact, if you replace the word "love" in these verses and put "God" in, it gives the verses a whole new meaning.
So, let's celebrate those mushy gushy love stories this month, but never forget the ultimate version and example of love that God shows us every day without fail.
Now, let's get dive in to for what's ahead in Youth Ministry!!! Below are links, sign-ups, and info on what's to come for youth ministry and the fun times we had in January! I LOVE that idea!
God's blessings on your lovely February!
