Life Teen Staff Picks: Tenth Avenue North Music Video

Life Teen — Fri, 05 Aug 2011 07:00:34 +0000

This week’s Life Teen Staff Pick comes from Christina Mead, Web Content Editor. It’s weird talking about myself in third person, by the way, since I’m the one writing this. This is what she (and by she I mean myself) had to say about this music video:

“I’m so excited for you to watch this video if you haven’t already seen it! I love this band and when I first heard this song I couldn’t help but play it over and over again. It’s a great reminder of the way that the Sacrament of Reconciliation wipes our soul clean and in God’s eyes we are an innocent and pure as the day we were baptized. We aren’t defined by what we’ve “done.” God only wants us to look forward at what we can become – saints in His kingdom.”

It was a day of challenges and facing fears today at Camp Tepeyac. The campers took on the high ropes course and the paintball field today, spending time with their brothers and sisters, affirming each other and working as teams. After their challenges outside, the teens were challenged to enter deeply into mass and reconciliation, led by worship leader Mikey Needleman and host Lisa Garcia. God’s grace and mercy were abundant tonight and the campers celebrated with a bonfire.

Camp Tepeyac enjoyed some cooler weather and a lot of fun and mess on day two of the second Edge week of camp. The day started off with a bang thanks to praise and worship led by Gabe Reyes and a bible study sparked by host Joe Chernowski on the parable of the Prodigal Son. Organized free time, including a hike to the Lookout, was next. Afterwards, everyone was excited to get covered in paint, water, and “yuck” during messy games. The evening presented a skit and a witness from one of the summer staffers, leading into a session and reconciliation. It was certainly a grace-filled and exciting day!
