What a blast last night was!! It was my first time, won’t be my last time to go to Main Event. We ate pizza and bowled two games and played some video games all in the normal Small Group time slot. Everyone had a good time – even David had a good time and he had a broken foot!!!! Josh Harris did a great job as a Coach putting it together and the small group leaders and interns (Colleen, Chris, Jason and Rachel) did a great job of leading and being relational with the students! Thanks for inviting me and letting me be a part of a fantastic night!

Yesterday, was the first day of out ESL service project at Meadows Elementary and let me say this, It was Awesome!!!! We didn’t know exactly what we would be doing but once we got there it was so easy. The kids were a little stand offish at first, but once we started throwing the football outside things opened up. There were 8 of us, teens and adults from Fusion, and about 25 of them, kids ranging from k-7th grade. It was so awesome seeing how our students loved on these kids. It reminded me as to why I got involved in student work.
The two hours went by fast! We played football, played on the Jungle gym, played freeze tag, played Jenga, played with Play-dough, played Connect Four, played Jax, and attempted to play soccer in the gym. Some did crafts while others played computer games or did homework. It was a great opportunity and relationships are being formed. I am excited that we get to do this once a month!
If you want to get involved its really simple. Show up at Meadows Elementary at 4:50 on the third Tuesday and Thursday of each month. We will serve for two hours on Tuesday 5-7 and 3 hours on Thursday 5-8. It’s a great time and the kids appreciate it so much!! Join us this Thursday!
Had a great day yesterday at Fusion! The Guys put together an awesome announcement video
We looked at the Life of Noah! If there is one word to describe Noah it’s the word perseverance. This guy had it and it wasn’t easy to do what he did, but he remained faithful. I am still thinking about this statement from yesterday!
“Faithfulness is the Fuel to Perseverance”
I challenged the students to write that on their mirror at home so they see it every morning when they are getting ready for school. If we could learn to practice it, we would see God in a whole new way!!!!!
Over the weekend I uploaded a ton of pictures to my facebook profile. There are several albums from Grace and then some old school albums from FBCWBURG. It was neat to go down memory lane and see students that have been involved in our ministry over the years. God has done some awesome things in both places and I am excited to see what He does next!!!
