The Great Debate

On Saturday afternoon we had a debate with/for the church youth.  The subject was dating vs. courtship.  All the people involved were in favor of courtship but a few played the devil's advocate and presented the objections to courtship that the youth often have.  After each side presented their case, we had a time for rebuttal and then a roundtable discussion directed by the moderator.  In the end, the youth had an opportunity to write down questions and present them to the panel. 
 
It was very encouraging to see the large number of youth who came for the event.  I counted at least 55.  I found it challenging to be involved in the debate but think it was an excellent way to creatively present the dangers of dating and the truth about courtship.  Thank you for those who were in prayer for this time.
