I just visited the Yosemite National Park webpage and Mist Trail is opened. There is plenty of snow all around and it's still cold. I think it would be best if we posponed the trip to the end of May. I'm thinking May 22 or May 29.
Also, the we need to plan the Carwash for Christ. This year our donations will go to families in need throughout the next school year. This way we can provide for families during Christmas and anyone at school in need during the year. I'm thinking the carwash can be June 5th. I will discuss both matters with the FCA team.
If you have any input on both matters please e-mail. You can look up my e-mail address at the school website. Thanks

Matthew Chapter 21
This is a great chapter filled with interesting information. Jesus riding into Jerusalem, Jesus cleaning the Temple, Jesus showing the disciple what kind of faith they should have, the parable of the two sons, and the parable of the vineyard owner. We focused on the Jesus' entrance and the parable of the two sons.
Here are some questions the FCA team came up with
1. Why did Jesus ride in on a donkey and not a huge horse?
2. Why did the people lay down branches?
3. What does Hosanna mean?
4. Why was Jesus speaking to the people in the Temple with anger and not peace?
5. Why did Jesus call his temple, "A House of Prayer"
6. Why do the children cheer Jesus?
7. Why did the blind and lame come to see Jesus?
8. What does it mean to do someones will?
9. What does it mean to do God's will?
10. What was the difference between the two brothers?

Matthew Chapter19 and 20
SOOOOOO sorry I haven't posted in a few weeks. It's been a little rough lately. Chapter 19 was a great chapter. We talked about the blessings of children and the responsibility of being wealthy.
We really focused on Matthew Ch. 19:16-22. We talked about how wealthy we are in the USA and how we are suppose to use our resources to help others. We talk about how everyone with a roof over their head, 20 dollars in their pocket, and a full belly are 90% richer than the entire world. That really stunned some people.
It's says that it's easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God. When reading this it made everyone uneasy. But the best line was yet to come.
"With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." We must remember that with God anything is possible.
On Matthew chapter 20 we broke FCA into 6 groups. The early morning group, the 9, the 12, the 3, the 5, and the late evening. These groups modeled the different times the vineyard owner went out to find workers for his field. We talked about how some groups were unhappy because they worked all day. Some groups were really happy because they barely worked at all and they received the same pay as the workers who worked all day. Some felt bad for both sides.
The whole parable is about our Father who searches for his children daily. We all get our reward in the end. No matter if we ask Christ into our hearts and follow Him wholeheartedly throughout our lives, or we ask Christ to be our savior seconds before our death bed. We all get the reward.
