Just a Few Notes…
August 8, 2007 0
    Hey there boys and girls! It’s your old pal, John the youth minister! The entire month of July was insanity but I loved every minute of it. It began with a wonderful trip to King’s Island. It continued with a fantastic trip to Pennsylvania that allowed you to serve in the community while I suffered from a dreadful sunburn. The month ended with a bang as we participated in a bonfire, the always enjoyable Vacation Bible Experience, and various other fun filled events. In the end, I learned that sharing a house with the Jamiesons is more fun than a barrel of monkeys!
August is set to be almost as fantastic as July. We begin the month with the annual Roseville Church of Christ Canoe Trip. For those of you attending, it’s a great weekend of camping, eating, volleyball playing, canoing, and of the course the always exciting tubing (which, by the way, does not involve a speed boat). I am excited that most of the youth group is coming this year. Next weekend, from Friday the 17th to Saturday the 18th, we will be attending the Walled Lake Youth Rally. It should be a great event with speaker Patrick Mead, worship lead by Watershed Worship, and a performance by Focus (featuring Paul Wriston). The cost is $10 but don’t let that prohibit you from attending (read: tell me if you need monies).
Just yesterday we were invited to attend a lock-in at my parent’s home congregation, the North Warren Church of Christ. We will be playing Whirlyball on Friday the 24th of August and spending the night at the church. North Warren is great place for a lock-in as they have a large fellowship hall with room for volleyball and an auditorium with an amazing sound system and projector. I’d like to get a nice sized group going so we can meet some more people and plan larger events. Cost and other details are forth coming.
Wow… that was an incredible amount of typing. Tell me if you have any other future suggestions activities. This ministry is yours. I want you to enjoy yourselves while serving others and growing as God’s men and women. I love you all and God bless you!
