DESCRIPTION
Youth Newsletter for April
Citation preview
God cares about you!
That’s another reason why
He has given us the Sab-
bath. That’s the only rea-
son he gave us his SON.
Anyway! We have
SO MUCH TO DO this
month. This is our sixth
newsletter and it feels like
many of you are still out of
the loop. Let’s change that!
This issue is jam-
packed with information.
That means that this
month, you should get un-
“Six days shall though labor
and do all thy work…” Exodus
20 shares with us the ten
commandments. There we
see the character of God,
(though we may not under-
stand it). We have so much to
learn about who God is and
how He is
a daily
part of our
lives!
Notice the
Bible
CLEARLY
MEN-
TIONS
that you will have “work and
labor”. I think it is safe to draw
the conclusion that GOD
CARES ABOUT THAT AS-
PECT OF YOUR
LIFE. So, don’t
just show up to
church, (or not),
and assume that
the Sabbath is
the only time
God wants to
care about you. Jesus
Christ lived a life of ser-
vice. Not just once a
week. It is imperative
that we put ourselves
aside and become
aware of what hope and
marvelous power we
are a part of. That
doesn’t happen by ar-
guing “tradition vs. comfort”
by yourself or with other peo-
ple who don’t encourage your
journey.
Can you imagine what the
early church must have
thought? Imagine you, wait-
ing through the darkness after
hearing/seeing the events of
Friday.
Would you be the
Christian who was secure in
their faith and asking yourself,
“When is He going to wake!?
At 6am or 10 when?! I’m so
excited!!!”
Or would you be the
Christian who would ask, “Is
Jesus really the Christ? I
mean He is, but I hope this
works… I’ve believed this my
entire life..”
Or, would you be
Christian at all? “This is
seriously too complicated. If
he wakes up, I’ll contem-
plate discipleship. For now, I
need a break..”
You know the out-
come. Which Christian are
you today?
Easter Sunday April 8, 2012 Jesus Christ is Risen. Live like you believe it.
Volume 1, Issue 6
comfortable with how things have
been and TRUST GOD to change
you into the person you deserve
to be in Him.
God Matters. You matter.
Experience the Relevance of God.
Here’s the Deal:
We have two HUGE obli-
gations that fell in the same month.
WE can do this, and we will. WE
just have to stay focused. Here is
the deadline calendar. STICK TO
IT. The success you will feel after
this hard work will be INSUR-
MOUNTABLE
I promise, you are going to feel on
top of the world after this.
IF YOU FEEL LIKE THIS DOES
NOT PERTAIN TO YOU… don’t
continue to feel that way. There
are plenty of things that are still
able to be done. Just ask. You
matter. Every bit of effort takes
the load off of those who are do-
ing a lot.
REALISTIC PEP TALK
Why yes, eat your fiber and drink
your water. …
BUT COME TO PRACTICES.
The more prepared you are, the
less stress it is for yourself/
everyone. Some of you have com-
mitted 1/3 of the way, others 1/2.
Let’s jump in!
It is quite similar to swimming
in a pool. You contemplate getting
in, test it and it’s cold, and then
jump in and get shocked, but after
a few minutes, you’re having the
time of your life. Just do it. Come
out “to the deep end”.
PRACTICES ARE EVERY FRIDAY
7:30PM AND SABBATH 1. in the
Sanctuary IMMEDIATELY after
church. 2. 6:30 pm at the BILLINGY
HOUSE.

The Adults of
our church do support
our youth! However,
they havephysically
and fiscally decided
to support our youth
by
A.) Purchasing T-
shirts as a fundraiser
for us
B.) Going to the quiz
-a-rama
C.) Participating in the Pray-
er Warriors Project
And D.) The church has of-
fered there assistance by of-
fering to have a “Mock Quiz-a-
rama”. This year, the adults
are studying the same chap-
ters those participating in the
Quiz-a-rama will be.
They will be contact-
ing the youth who have decid-
Aladdin had it right…
However, his motivation
was a little different :)
When becoming
part of church, you take
one step at a time. First
you come, then get in-
volved, then feel apart.
Young people,
we aren’t isolated to the
events that come only from
the Youth Department. The
Men’s Ministry, Women’s Min-
istry, Health Ministry, etc. all
have great ways for you expe-
rience the relevance of God
and feel like part of the family!
There was a busi-
ness meeting Saturday Eve
the 8th. Members (of all ages)
successfully added a YOUNG
ADULT class. Now keep in
mind, this is separate from the
Collegiate Class. Currently,
the Collegiate and Youth clas-
ses end up mingling, but in all
technicalities, there are three:
Youth, Collegiate, Young
Adult.
None the less, re-
gardless of what age you are,
invite someone to hear the
truth. Evangelism,
remember, starts
with you! Check for
all our events!
Please
come on time. And
we NEED musi-
cians. Let’s dream
big and get our mu-
sic running!
Our privileges of consuming a
small delectable breakfast in
the Youth Room have been
revoked. Instead of being
disheartened, LET’S DO IT
BIG!
Breakfast will be 9:15-9:30
ONLY in the BACK OF THE
PARKINGLOT. Under the
Easy up. It’s legit. So come
through.

ed to participate and come April
22nd and April 28th, they will be
participating in the Mock Quiz-a-
rama. It will be exactly what it
sounds like.. A “mock quiz-a-
rama”.
Side note: if you would like to
purchase a t-shirt or hoodie
(hoodies are for youth only).. Then
you need to email the youth de-
partment. You can email the
church and ask it to be forwarded
to us.
were allowed to attend. It is here
that your comments and concerns
should be voiced and heard.
Don’t wait to take the
initiative to get involved. You don’t
have to and won’t understand
everything before you delve in.
Just do it!
Don’t forget our website:http://
In this Easter season, we often get caught up with the best dramas, eggs, and services. REMEMBER THAT A RELATIONSHIP
WITH GOD IS ABOUT BEING MEANT FOR A PURPOSE. NOT ENTERTAINMENT. At Rancho Cucamonga SDA, we are not
trying to entertain you. If the way you are being equipped is entertaining, GREAT! But if you are looking for fireworks, you have
come for the wrong purpose. Reading through some of Ellen White’s writings, this thought was brought up: Would you really
want to be caught in the club when Jesus came back? Or how about doing various other activities (*cough). Let’s be real, the
world truly does seem entertaining. But since we’re being real, the God who gave you the desire to be engaged will not leave you
empty. You just have to commit fully to what His plan for your life is. Jesus ‘ Death on the cross and ministry wasn’t boring. The
truth is, If you’re bored , you are probably sitting on the fence. Trust GOD. You are MEANT for something. -Jeremiah 29:11-13.
