Are These People Friends?!

Wow! I know...at first glance, it looks like a bunch of kids are trying to "get" the girl kneeling in front and I'm just benignly taking pictures instead of doing anything to help the intended victim. The truth is far more exciting! You are seeing our latest rehearsal for the "human video" our youth group is preparing. A human video is like a live music video. This one follows the relationship between the girl in front and Jesus, from her creation, to her separation from Jesus' pure love, and then her humble return. The kids trying to "get" her represent sins that separated her from Jesus: romance, alcohol, money, self-loathing, finally thoughts of hurting herself. Through it all, Jesus steadfastly waited for her to realize that what she needed was there all along: Him! Finally, she surrenders and prays to be forgiven. At that point, Jesus places himself between her and the sins that were only hurting her. She is free at last!! They are all doing a fantastic job! The human video will be performed, along with other awesome presentations, at the Club 52 Banquet which is Saturday evening, June 21. I hope you all can come. It's going to be something special.
