Bending the Fence

 

My family told me that they wanted some traditional “pastes” to eat for lunch, so they took me to a place that some church members had taken them.  Little did I know that meant crossing a field, squeezing in a hole in the fence and walking alongside the freeway.  What an adventure just for a midday meal!

Turning Your World

Our youth conference and concert is only a few weeks away and the youth have formed teams to take care of the different parts of the event.  We have a music team, and equipment team, a drama team, and a food team and etc.  Interested in helping?  We could sure use your prayers.

 

We've invited 4 churches, and it looks like they are all coming. Each group will bring songs for all to sing while performed by their youth group.  We hope that they also bring youth who don’t know about Jesus.  

Today, we got word that one band will bring their sound equipment to share with us.  We don’t have a big enough system to “pump up” the volume.

M&T

Thank you for praying for Teresa, who I mentioned last week.  She’s had her first round of chemo and is doing as well as can be expected.  Monica who has been missing for months due to the side effects of radiation for cancer joined us again.  Her insights into cancer treatment were worth mentioning to Teresa’s husband.  Now the two have a way to communicate and share advice and experiences.  Continue to pray for Teresa.

A Word of Hope

Thank you for praying for relief for Tracey’s headaches.  Preliminary tests have ruled out any tumors, and that has in itself brought peace to her heart.  She goes in this week to discuss what some options are for relief.

Two by Two

This week we had a big youth group, considering that one of the youth and my youth assistant went to take a teacher’s training class with the youth leader of the youth group that visited us last week.  And two of their youth who didn’t want to be in the teacher training class, came to play with us.

A Couple of Options

Tracey & Kiana got back from their trip, and I had a chance to ask Kiana what she thought about the schools.  "Not one stood out," she said.  But after talking to Keila's friends, there might be some new career options available.  The three got together at Keila’s school and got to talk.  Glad they arrived safely.

College Search

Tracey and Kiana headed out to visit some colleges this fall, so that Kiana could get an idea of what lies ahead.  In their travels, they’ll visit Keila’s school too and get together for some great hugs. Enjoy your trip and get some rest, you two!
