Can you believe school starts in about four weeks? For me, that also means football is right around the corner. Let me update you on the summer's activities.
We had great Sport's Camps. Visit the website and view the pictures. Nearly 200 were enrolled in the two camps and that doesn't count the music camp we had first. Thanks to all the adults who helped and the youth who gave us their time and energy.
Ask any youth who went to Centrifuge about the experience. They are pumped and they are excited. The Lord did a work in many of their lives and it shows. Last Sunday at the "BANG" service for the youth, the teens were "OUT THERE". We adults kept commenting on how "WIRED" they were. It was a good "WIRING" though. There were seven new teens and seventy in attendance. That is awesome since so many regulars are on vacation. As tired as I was, I couldn't help getting into it with them.
Our first Sports and Recreation Ministry event for the whole church was great also. We filled the entire bowling alley and it was awesome just seeing all the families enjoying Christian music, eating, bowling, high-fiving, etc...THANKS CHRIS! I am looking forward to the golf tournament in a couple of weeks at Pine Ridge.
If you haven't been to the Children's Center yet, you need to visit this Sunday and see the environment Marla and her leaders have created. You feel like you are in outer space.
July 4th was a moving experience as I told you. Several men had to leave the service because it was so touching to them. You just can't help but have pride when all the armed forces are represented like they were. THANKS NANCY for working so hard to put all of it together.
Remember, we are getting ready for our 4th service on Wednesday evenings starting soon. I believe it will be well received. Until next month--LOVE AND PEACE.
