church is fun

Tonight we kicked off a new year of kids clubs!

I think there may have been about 800 kids (atleast thats what it looked like to me)!

Wayne and Tammy McMurtry lead this ministry well!

You should have heard them all dreaming about all the fun their planning this year...

And what better way to begin then with a bonfire and marshmallows (I wish I would have remembered my camera to take pictures of all those beautiful kids with marshmallow all over the face)!!!

Pray with me that the Lord will provide more adult helpers/leaders...if you are interested in helping in anyway (there is no small contribution) please holler at Wayne and Tammy!

I also restarted my book club! The discussion was ALIVE!

We are going to learn alot from Peter and each other!

All my extra copies are gone so if you want a copy you'll probably have to order online (the emotionally healthy church by peter scazzero)...

But even if you're not an avid reader, you will be blessed by just showing up (we're basically reading the book together and stopping often to discuss, which means we may take several wks for each chapter, we only made it thru the intro this evening)...

Oh and I can't forget those GO GIRLS that the amazing Judy Deaver leads so well!

As they were leaving youth group I asked what they learned and one of the teen girls said, "God's Will not mine"!!! GO GIRL! GO GOD! YEAH!!!

Oh and Bob Belford is filling an important hole this year by starting a Junior High group! SO GREAT! They even have their eyes set on demolishing a wall and making some space at the church to call their own...

Oh and...

(I am so encouraged when I see such TEAM spirit growing! Everybody is a minister, Everybody needs a ministry! When a church focuses on WE instead of ME, anything is possible!)
