Family.
This word could be one of the most powerful and meaningful words in the world. In any language, culture, or country that word carries heavy meaning.
Family.
Its what we all want to be a part of. Its what we were created for.
I have a great family. I have a loving and beautiful wife, two adorable kids, a great mom and dad, a terrific sister, and 80 students at Eikon. Thats right, 80 students at Eikon.
To all my students, you are my family! I love you guys to death and I want to see each of you grow into young men and women of God. I will go as far as you want to go in your walk with Christ and I will encourage, equip, push, and help you grow in your faith and live it out every day. I am here for you guys, I love you guys, I am praying for you guys.
So this is your place. This is your family living room. This is were you can vent, talk about a current series, share your story, care for each other, and just be family.

yeah i definitely agree family's a strong word but lets face it they aren’t always what they should be…and I think greystone would be an excellent family if I actually took advantage of were I am the way I should but unfortunately I don’t so that problem of course lies with me. but I really think we need more activities now I kno there’s tha lil S.W.AT. thingy or whatever but come on as a “family” we should chill more inside the church cuz no doubt we can jus call up a buddy and go to the movies but inside church it’d be different. I think there’s not exactly more opportunity just different opportunity which isn’t always bad so hows bout sum more activities, Jeremiah?? Idk u might be workin on sum already.
yeah so i totally agree that family is a strong word but you know in our youth group...lately...i'm not really feeling the "familiness" of it. I mean people are getting blamed for stuff they didn't even do!! So i just don't think families do that kind of stuff. OH and pick NEW people for games/activities!!! also i think we need to have a little talk within our youth group about what family is all about because families dont ignore members that they have gone to church with forever and also they dont totally exclude their "friends" so we just need to have a meeting or a "talking to" that would be greatly appreciated. and please dont take this the wrong way there are just things that need to be said and this blog is a great way to get them out without hurting peoples feelings so i thank you for this oppurtunity to let this out and i hope you will respond soon. thanks so much.:( :)
