Chapter Three
The eight teens walked into the teen's room just as the rest of the teens in the group were beginning the chorus to 'Heart of Worship.' Dani and the others started signing with them as they entered the room.
'"I'm coming back to the heart of worship,
And it's all about you,
It's all about you, Jesus.
I'm sorry Lord for the thing I've made it;
When it's all about you,
It's all about you, Jesus.
King of endless worth,
No one could express
How much you deserve,
Though I'm weak and poor,
All I have is yours,
Every single breathe.
I'll bring you more than a song,
For a song in itself,
Is not what you have required?
You search much deeper within,
Through the way things appear,
You're looking into my heart.
I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about you…'"
They repeated the chorus about three more times, and everyone sat down, Dani and her group filling up the back row.
"Ok, I'd like to take a little time out of this service, to introduce six new people to the youth group. Before I do that though, I'd like to ask the following teens to come on the stage first." Jeremy said, taking the stage. "Jimmy Neutron, Cindy Vortex, Dani Neutron, Shayna Nicole, and Stacey Leanne." As he said each of their names they walked up to the stage, standing behind him. "These teens… especially Jimmy and Cindy, went way above our call of duty. As Christians, we are told to go and make disciples of all nations. This is NORMALLY achieved by sending missionary's to places, and as a group working together to bring the gospel around the world. But this last Friday Jimmy and Cindy, went against all odds, lied to me…" Jeremy Blockwest said eyeing Jimmy and Cindy for that part. "And while I don't appreciate that part of it, they had the best intentions at heart, and I know this because they started a much needed revival in Retroville High. (A/N ANY Reference to 'Retroville Jr. High, whether in Resistance or earlier in this fic, are MEANT to be Retroville High.)"
"And because of them, the following people came to Christ If I say your name, please come to the stage. Alex, Amy, and Andrea Lopper, Ashley Johnson, Jason Anderton, and Sara Lesonders. If any of you are here, please come on up." One by one the Lopper triplets, Ashley, and Sara made their way to the stage, Sara dragging Jason behind her. "I know you will all make all six of them fit right in. And, it is my pleasure to give each of them a Bible, and if there are any other new first-timers today, come on up and get a Bible as well" Jeremy said handing each of the new kids a Bible, and about 4 other kids came up front to get a Bible as well. While the first-timers sat down he also handed each of the five older teens a 25-dollar gift certificate to Grace Books that the church had purchased.
After the teens had sat back down Jeremy announced that there was gong to be a mission trip to Washington DC next summer, and for those interested there was a meeting next week, then he started with the lesson.
The lesson was entitled "God Can Use Me??" and the bulletin had a picture of a guy with a confused look on his face and a bubble that said "HOW??" Somewhere in the middle, when they were talking about how great God's power is that he can overcome any of your weaknesses, one of the Seniors (A/N: Also Shayna, Stacey, and Dani are Seniors, while Andy is a graduate. Shelby is a sophomore and Jimmy and the rest are freshmen…. I accidentally messed up ages in Resistance) started humming "God of Wonders" to themselves, and soon the whole youth area was singing along.
"'Lord of all creation,
Of water, earth and sky;
The heavens are your tabernacle,
Glory to the Lord on high.
God of wonders beyond our galaxy;
You are holy,
Holy.
The universe declares your majesty;
You are Holy,
Holy.
Lord of heaven and earth;
Lord of heaven and earth
Early in the morning;
I will celebrate the light;
When I stumble in the darkness;
I will call your name by night.

The group sung the chorus again and Jeremy went back to the lesson. After the lesson the eight teens in the group went over to talk to Jeremy, and eventually all went their separate ways. Cindy went over to the Neutron's after lunch and hung out with Jimmy, Stacey, and Dani until dinner time; when the four and a half Neutron's went out to a fairly nice restaurant for dinner, than returned home to watch a family movie. After the movie everyone in the Neutron house got ready for bed.
"You think Sandlake will take his two days off?" Stacey asked jumping over Dani's bed to her own.
"Knowing him… probably not. And especially if he heard about the lil' revival Jimmy and Cindy started Friday."
"Think he's heard about it, or knows who started it?"
"Probably, not much passes by him." Dani replied, taking her hair out of the ponytail she had put it in. Once that was done she took out her contacts and climbed into her bed.
