Growing up means learning to take responsibility for ourselves and our faith. The process of owning our faith by making and keeping faith commitments is an adventure filled with excitement and stumbles. This week youth will wrestle with the question: Do I want to honor God with my life? Key Scriptures: Exodus 4:1-15; Judges 6:33-40; Matthew 19:16-22; 1 Timothy 4:12-16. The Fourth of July means fireworks, lemonade, and the colors red, white, and blue! In honor of the holiday, next week’s LinC will look at a piece of the Fourth of July tradition—the colors of our flag—through a scriptural filter. What do the colors red, white, and blue mean in our faith? Find out next week!
