Sunday night Matt Peacock will be sharing all of the things God has been doing in the lives of our students this summer. This group has traveled from Mississippi to Colorado in the name of Jesus and have some exciting stories to tell.
You need to be there. I know it is not always easy to be present on Sunday night, but this Sunday night you need to make the effort. It is easy to say, "I don't have any kids in the youth group why should I be there?" Here is the reason...Do we believe in our students or not? Do we want to see them grow to mature disciples in Jesus or not? Are we willing to do what it takes to reach the next generation?
Western Hills is a church with a passion for young people. That is one of the reasons I love this church so much. Many churches have dismissed the "kids" to the backroom or the basement thinking they will just keep them happy, then when they are old enough we will call them to follow Jesus. WRONG! By then it will be too late. Most people make a lifelong commitment to Jesus before the age of 18. If we do not consider our children and teenagers as a priority-one-mission field then we might as well coast into obscurity.
So why do you need to be there? Because our teens need to know that a life of faith is worth it. They need to see people who are living it right now. They desperately want to know it is real. So join us Sunday night, your presence might just be making an eternal difference.

It is times like these that really make us homesick for Western Hills. It has been so encouraging to read on the web page all the exciting things happening at WHCC. And it has been especially uplifting to follow the WHY group through their service to others and their search for a richer deeper relationship with Jesus. Wow, it would be great to be able to be there Sunday evening to see those pictures of the special young men and women in the WHY group as they went about being the "hands and feet of Jesus" this summer. May God's blessings be on them and the entire Western Hills family. We love you and miss you,
James & Barbara
