PEAK 09

The kids are so excited...PEAK is right around the corner. Our youth group will be taking a road trip this year. We had planned on making the trip ourselves but with the new building project it just isn't happening :0( Oh well, maybe next year. I will miss seeing my fabulous friend, CHRISTIE! Pray that they have a safe trip, anointed services, a lot of fun, and get home in one piece.

College and Career San Diego Trip

Our College and Career class stayed the night over in San Diego after the Youth Connect services in Chula Vista. After a late night of church and visiting, it was so nice not to drive the two hours home. We absolutely love San Diego! We ate breakfast, took a walk to Seaport Village, some went to the Midway, some of us shopped, poor Adam had to wait in the cold with a fire-pit, and then we all met back up for lunch at Rockin Baja. This place is awesome. Afterwards, we all headed back to our house for a fire and smores. Thank you Jonathan and Jennifer for taking all the pictures!!!

LCA FIREWORKS 2009

Fireworks season has come and gone...hallelujah! Every year I have mixed emotions about the fireworks booth. It is a great deal of work but a ton of fun as well. I had an awesome group of people this year that helped which always makes my job easier. It all went so well this year. Even with the economy the way it is and not to mention the city doubled the amount of fireworks booth, we still did well. Thank God!!!! We have so many regular customers that come year after year. For the last eight years I have been inviting a young man to church (he lives around the corner and has been coming by the booth since he was seven years old) and he finally came to church and said he loved it. Please keep Wilson in your prayers. After it's all said and done and the last item is removed from the booth there is a kind of sadness that comes over you. You basically live at the booth for seven days and then it's all over. I quickly got over the sad stage though :0) For I know that the 2010 fireworks season will come before I'm ready.

Chula Vista Youth Connect

Our youth group attended the Chula Vista annual Youth Connect this year. As usual, Bro. Cody Marks did an incredible job...I must say he is one of our all time favorite preachers. We absolutely adore the Marks period...especially the kids! Baby Addy was absolutely GORGEOUS! I even convinced Kye to sit with me for a while...man, did I feel privileged. Caden received the Holy Ghost Thursday night...I didn't get to attend Thursday night's service but heard from everyone that attended that it was a life changing service. Friday night's preaching was phenomenal and the altar call was so anointed. It was so neat to see our young people being so blessed...God is so good.
