I had a great, busy week last week. My birthday was really good despite the fact that I had to work. In the afternoon, my employees surprised me with a cake that one of them made. It was really good. The woman who made it was off for the whole week, but came in to [...]

I’m sitting at work right now, after hours, waiting for two of my employees to sign up for their health insurance. So I thought I’d catch up on all that’s been going on the last few weeks. I’ll go backward. . . Sunday I had a great day with Jen and Jon as we talked [...]
Pride and Bragging

I have been in a great mood since we got back from Pine Cove on Sunday. All the compliments and thank yous that I heard from the staff and campers made me so proud of our group and excited that it made others happy. It wasn’t until later in the week when I received an [...]

We had a great time in small groups last night. The students and leaders showed up in costumes of all types. We had a bunch of princesses (from Marie Antoinette to Queen Quenivere), a joker (who took his scars off halfway through the night), 2 cats (one with no ears), an anteater (ANT is an [...]

Two days ago I came home from my fourth Pine Cove workcrew. It was great! We left late on Friday (figures) only to be caught in traffic on the way, so we didn’t actually arrive in Pine Cove until 9:30 that night. After throwing our bags in the staff cabins (which are really nice), we [...]

I shouldn’t wait so long to write a blog. Now I have a few things to talk about. Where to begin? My small group lately has been going really well. The students are at a point now that they want to learn more when the lessons are being taught. However, few of them actually seem [...]

On Wednesday night, our lesson in small group was about God having a reason for the hardships in your life and honoring your parents. Both lessons were great. The first one had to do with something my friend is going through and gave me an Aha Moment. The second was a big Aha moment for [...]
Back 2 School Retreat
Posted in Youth Group on September 9, 2008 | 3 Comments »
This past weekend was our 2nd annual Back 2 School Retreat. Last year I had the 9th and 10th graders, but this year we split even farther. I am now teaching the 10th graders, which makes it a smaller group. Not quieter. On Friday the craziness started before I even made it to the church. After [...]
