WHAT'S GOOD?!"

"A Christian worldview is not just one's personal faith expression, not just a theory. It is an all consuming way of life, applicable to all spheres of life" -David Thockery

 Recently (as in October 26th) the Middle School Team AKA "Team Vintage" was privileged to serve our mentors/mentees and some of our Bible Study students by facilitating our "Mixed - Up" Dinner theater. Close to one hundred students and adults met on Mercy Street's campus and were witness to good food, good entertainment that we have been told has led to many good conversations about the "good life". In the drama presentations for the night, our students saw decisions being made and behavior patterns being set that often have long term consequences. Our prayer was that the middle school students of West Dallas would begin to wrestle with questions like "how will my current decisions and habits effect my future?" or What is the "good life" REALLY?!"

As the quote above reminds us, everyone has a worldview or belief system, even if that worldview it is incoherent, inarticulate or incomplete. It is that worldview that informs what we as people do and value. Pray with us that our students at Mercy Street would see God, education, chastity, and wisdom as necessary for a life that proclaims "what's good".

Team Vintage loves hanging out with teens and believe that from relationships marked by love we can begin open, honest dialogue with our teens about what good looks like. Although we get to hang every Sunday evening, we are geeked about another opportunity to hang with middle school boys and girls coming at the end of this month.  Tell your mentee, mark your calendar and get your game face ready for...
