God at work

We are back from vacation and had a great time. We made many memories and had lots of fun.

We started the "tweener's" program at church this week. It went very well. God totally blessed us all by all of the great things He did. We had 43 kids and everyone of them seem to have had a blast. The evening was action packed and Scott gave a great devotional at the end. This was a "kick-off" so it was meant to be fun-filled. Next, we going to cover the armor of God and each week teach on a different part of the armor. We pray that God continues to lead this time and helps the kids to fall into a deeper love relationship with Him. We have some great people to work with and the church is so supportive. It has been a real blessing to be a part of this ministry.

This weekend we are hosting a Prayer Retreat for our Core Prayer Team from MI. We are very excited about this and can't wait to see what the Lord has instore for all of us. We sense it will be a time of refreshing, change and renewal. Everyone seems very excited about it. That only builds the excitement for me. :-)

Matthew has joined the drama team and church and also the Y-US team. That is Youth Using Stick's ministry, sort of like dancing with long sticks to a Christian song. He is also on the new ministry team for the youth's web page and videography. He wants to be the youth's photographer and videographer and help keep the web page updated. Like doing the A.V. and sound board wasn't enough. :-) I love seeing him get so involved. He seems to be finding his nitch and it is fun seeing him become who God has created him to be. Shaughn loves playing the bass and is doing it all the time now instead of switching off. Nathaniel seems to be a born leader and has zero fear. :-) He is very excited about the new "Tweener's" ministry.

We are trying to come up with a name for the Tweeners. Please pray that God will give us a name that they can identify with and that has meaning. This is His ministry and we desire to name it what ever He wishes. :-)

That is about it for now. I am sure there will be more next week. :-) Thank you and come back again soon. We would love to hear from you so please leave a comment or email us if you would like. God bless you all!!
