Thanks, swim, yay, bye, later

A quick word about Camp and your kids
As many of you are aware, this past week we had the chance to get away for camp at Fall Creek Falls State Park.  I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you.  Thank you for raising kids that are respectful, compassionate, well behaved, and seeking to deepen their relationship with Christ.  It was a really awesome experience to watch how well they encourage each other and loved one another in so many ways.  One of my favorite things to do is to watch someone who hasn’t been around this group get the chance to interact with them.  They always observe that something is different in the way they love each other, selflessly serve, worship and just generally get along.  I attribute this to you because awesome parents raise awesome kids.  So, thank you for making my job extremely easy.  It is a true blessing to be able to watch them grow and experience God more and more.  If there were a most awesome youth group competition, we could enter this group and with out a doubt, win the gold medal…. That’s because of you… keep doing what you are doing and I will keep praying that God move and work within your families!

Lake Day/Wedding Celebration Party - Saturday, August 3
This upcoming Saturday we will have our last lake day with a wedding celebration for Hunter Holland (former 2 time intern) and Andrew Pate mixed in.  Lake day will start at the standard 1:00pm and the party for Hunter and Andrew will start at 4:00 with dinner being served around 5:30.  For those of you who are close to and know Hunter, if you would like to provide them with a gift, they are registered at Bed, Bath and Beyond and Target.  We will be stepping up the food game for this last one and need your help to provide either a green bean casserole or a hash brown casserole in a 9 X 13 dish.  If you are willing to help provide that, you can click HERE to sign up.  Also, everyone will need to bring a case of drinks and all families are invited!

Intern’s Going Away Party - Sunday, August 4 - 6:00pm - Teen Room
Summer is closing out and its time to say farewell and thank you to our interns who have done an excellent job this summer.  All families are welcome and dinner will be provided.  To help know how much food to prepare for it would be helpful if you took just a second to respond HERE so we know how many to expect.
