Ok, so today we had youth day at the lake, and just about everyone showed up.  It was insane.  We had to have three boats (all carrying 12 teens each) just to take us to the rope swing!  Plus we had at least 15-20 adults!  I think at one time we must have had 75 people there, it was AWESOME!

I’m not sure how you measure success in events like this, but I’m pretty sure we were off the charts in all catagories.  The kids had a tremendous time, we welcomed the rising 6th graders in, the food was incredible, the tubing was tons of fun, everything was just simply amazing!

But God is, isn’t he?  Simply Amazing!   What makes these events so incredible is that God is there with us and is what bonds each of us together.  Our love of Christ shows through when we love each other and put aside all differences and just spend great time together!

I want to thank the Goodings for opening up their house to all of us and the countless hours they spent making this event happen.  Thanks to all the adults that came and spent time with the teenagers just hanging out and watching them swim.  Thanks to Don and Greg and Jeff for driving the boats and most importantly, thanks to Christ for being there with us, giving us a beautiful day together, and helping us grow!

Pictures are up on the gallery at the top of the page.  I hope you take a moment to check them out!

Sincerely,
