After a week off from CSM because of Youth Convention, we came back strong with a solid night. I talked from 1 John 4:21 about how we must love each other– even those who we don’t like. So I outlined what the difference is between “liking” someone and “loving” someone. Most notably, liking someone means [...]

CSM Review 10/29/10
October 30th, 2010 
joshherndon This Friday was… kinda weird. There was a 5-day weekend for a big chunk of our students (causing a mass exodus for college visitations and vacations) and a lot of sickies. What do you do on a week when you know that nothing is going to go according to plan? Don’t be discouraged. It’s easy [...]
CSM Review 10/8/10
October 9th, 2010 joshherndon It was an exhausting week for me. I lead our high school’s spiritual emphasis week, had a service day on Friday, and unveiled our missions trip destination to Haiti! The future looks like help is coming. Central Seminary students are coming before and staying later to help set up and clean up our weekly setup. [...]
CSM Review: 10/1/10 (and lessons learned)
October 2nd, 2010 joshherndon We had another awesome night at CSM– making that 4 Fridays in a row! Since lunching this youth ministry almost 2 years ago, we’ve never had so many awesome nights in a row. We’d always have a week more-often-than-not that would be awkward for one reason or another. I think I can attribute this string [...]
CSM 9/24/10 Review
September 25th, 2010 joshherndon Our night in a couple of bullet-points: I spoke on “Relentless Love”. It was a very simple, but passionate talk about being conductors of God’s relentless love to others! One of our students introduced/lead “Everything Falls” by Fee for worship and everyone loved it. I didn’t play drums at all tonight! Which brings me to [...]

September 18th, 2010 joshherndon We had a fabulous time tonight at CSM FRIDAY NIGHTS. Here’s some cool facets to the night: There are now 11 students enrolled in Central Seminary! I spoke on “learning to speak ‘parent’”– It was one of the more practical sermons I’ve preached. I used various scriptures from Proverbs that illustrated communicating courteously (being nice), [...]
CSM 9/10/10 Review
September 11th, 2010 joshherndon After a 4-week break, CSM FRIDAY NIGHTS returned for our Fall Kickoff– which morphed into vision weekend. Here’s some cool elements to the night. The Unveiling of Central Seminary. We needed to rethink our student discipleship for students of all backgrounds and uniqueness to connect and grow closer to God. Central Seminary is our answer. [...]
CSM 8/7/10 Review
August 7th, 2010 joshherndon We had our last CSM FRIDAY NIGHTS for the summer, hitting off our 4-week break! Some bullet-points: Goodbye Graduate! We took this opportunity to say goodbye to our lone high school graduate (most of our students are 9-11th graders). She joined CSM in April, just months before her graduation. But her impact on our group [...]
CSM 7/30/10 Review
July 31st, 2010 joshherndon We had a solid CSM FRIDAY NIGHTS tonight. Nothing too flashy tonight, but still really good stuff. Here’s the bullet points: Jesús’ Anniversary! It was one of our adult leader’s anniversary on Friday, so he stayed back with his family. What makes this noteworthy is the students stepped up and lead worship without missing a [...]

Our ministry has yearly overarching themes; similar to an annual vision statement or goal setting. Tonight we dove into what “We Are The Movement” is all about [...]
