Muchos Gracias to the most excellent Marvin Methodist Muchachos y Muchachas for hosting the May Meeting of the Youth Council. We came, we saw, we sang, we gamed, we art & crafted, we spoke, we ate (many thanks for the pupusas and sandwiches de pollo...El Salvadorean food gets much respect)! We spoke, you say, about what, you might ask? Nothing really...just about a little something I like to call..."LOVE!" We read and shared our thoughts on some scriptures: Song of Solomon 8: 6-7, 1st Corinthians 13: 1-8 , & Ecclesiastes 3: 1-8.

For A Further Conversation:

• What is love?
• When do you know you're in love?
• What do you think about people who are of different religious backgrounds being in love?
• What do you think about people who are of different ages being in love?

Feel free to post you own thoughts, comments, and/or questions. After all, that is why this website is called "a further conversation."

Gathering for May...

Our gathering this month is Monday May 15 from 7 to 8:15pm at Marvin UMC in Winston-Salem (click here for directions). Snacks will be served... Thoughts will be shared... God will be experienced... We're talking about "love." No...this will not be an evening of preachers and youth ministers giving their rendition of "the Talk." (Its funny how any discussion of "love" has to be qualified because we associate love and sex way too easily.) So what to expect at this gathering. Well, to keep it simple, the Bible uses three words when it talks about love: eros, philos, and agape.
