B2SB & Prayer Walks were a BLAST!

Let me just say, I think most everyone had a great time playing LCR--- (make sure and leave a comment so everyone knows what it is!!!) Congrats to everyone who won a prize!

Also, the GUTTER ice cream sundae was pretty amazing- I think everyone enjoyed that too. Except for a few who were afraid of the germs- but hey, we are ONE body right? Check it out...

And we would also like to welcome our new-to-youth students- our 7th graders who promoted today!

Morgan :) 

And to end the night, a great group gathered at the schools to pray for the upcoming school year that begins TOMORROW. We circled up at many different areas of all the local school districts and completely devoted this school year to God. Our prayers will continue for all our students and teachers throughout tomorrow- remember guys, THIS IS YOUR MISSION FIELD. The place where God has placed you to make a difference for HIM!

Back To School Bash TONIGHT

Hey guys I know you all are so excited about the big day tomorrow and going back to school, so to kick it all off we are going to have a fun night tonight at church playing games and winning door prizes and eating ice cream sundaes out of a GUTTER.  How fun does that sound!!!!  I hope to see you all there at 6. Do not forget to bring your creative ice cream topping.

Also right after church we are going to the school campuses to do our annual prayer walk.  I know that it will be hot. but please do not miss this.  It is a great way for you guys to start your school year.

"SEW" Blessed By This Weekend!!!

Well the girls had their "SEW" Fun Party last night and were up til midnight or so sewing. All the shirts turned out really good. And I think all the girls did pretty well their first time sewing. Only one of them sewed their shirt closed... but I won't name any names... (e...cough....nissa....cough, cough) :)

We had a lot of fun making these shirts to support our adoption from Russia. Our church has been very supportive, both prayerfully and financially. This morning we actually had 13 people place orders for their very own, hand-made shirt- like these....

Then, after morning service, the youth group went school clothes shopping for some other kiddos within our community. It was such a blessing to see our students interact with these kids. They were so kind and help make today a really fun day for them. I really appreciate all of you guys who came- it blessed my heart.

We didn't get a group photo, but here are some photos from the shopping trip.

WELCOME EVRBDY!
