7-12 grade Winter Retreat – January 16-18
Theme: “Knowing Christ and Making Him Known”
Next weekend please meet at my house at 4:00p.m. to consolidate vehicles and depart for Lake Darbonne. We will return Sunday at 12:30 p.m. The cost for the weekend is $25. To be fully prepared, I need to know ASAP and no later than Wednesday if you can make it. God has blessed our times together in amazing ways that we will never forget. Please prepare for the weekend by praying for God to unfold our minds and hearts for this special weekend. I want to encourage everyone to worship Him through the week leading up to the event by offering yourself to him in a special and unique way. There are unlimited ways we can bless the lives of others. For this week, I want to ask you to do something special to honor Jesus that is out of your routine. Church, please join us in praying that God will give us the wisdom to bless these children and their future families for eternity.

Live Video Webcast
This past week I hosted a live video internet morning devotional from my home for teens. We are going to try a children’s bed-time story Sunday night at 8:00p.m.. (Allen and Griffin want to help.) I will offer a brief story and have a prayer for the children and then visit with anyone who wants to stick around. At 8:30 p.m., I will share a verse with the teens and say a special prayer for them. You can watch live and visit with anyone who shows up. The Blog King has been mentoring me in the electronic arts so I may have a few bugs left to work out. To stop by, click the following link:
