Hello all!  This post is long overdue and I apologize for that.  Here is a quick update of the past few months…

mission: austin 2008 started and finished.  a total of 20 youth and 5 adults worked for one week in austin, texas and overcame many obstacles in the process.  I took a short vacation (at home!).  We finished our book study after breaking much bread together as a group.  School started… hooray!  We held a lock-in, totaling 26 youth at one point!  Games in the gym are fun, going to sleep is not!  Going to church after a lock-in is hard, but builds a stronger bond and shows the congregation what a great group we have! The mission: austin slide show was a big success, everyone enjoyed it!  Rally Day was great, thanks to all those that helped!  Back to a regular routine of Sunday and Wednesday EYC!!!

Okay, I think that pretty much sums it up!  Does anybody have anything to add?

Now, on to the present… we are preparing to move into our new youth building!  Our hope is that we will move this upcoming Sunday.  I am looking for some storage solutions, so if you think you can help please let me know.  I really think this will be a great space for us; much less wasted space and a better atmosphere that suits our group.  I am happy to report that after last night’s youth group we realize how much our community is formed by the people, not the building!  (Wonderful insight Junior High!) 

We have a wonderful group of youth and I am blessed everyday to get to work with each and every one of them, as well as the parents! 

Stay tuned for more info about the move, as well as more calendar events, such as a concert in October!

In His Peace,
