I am really bad at keeping up with this blogging thing :( but I will try! This past weekend we had a painting/movie night on Friday to finish painting the youth room and then we had pizza and watched the Blind Side. Awesome movie!
Sunday morning the church had their annual Easter Cantana and we had TWENTY students come for Sunday School! We had 5 students come that haven't ever been to class before and we were able to make contact with them and hopefully they'll come back! With next week being Easter we're hoping for more students to come that haven't been since we've started at the church, we have some activities planned for spring break that will hopefully aid in getting those students more connected/involved!
We just passed our 60 day mark for working at the church, my how times flies! We are praying that this will become a permanent, full-time position as we can see God working in the church and are glad to be the ones he's using for this work! Please continue to pray about that!
No church this Wednesday but we will have a Maundy Thursday service this Thursday at 7pm!

Lock In
Friday March 5th we had our first youth lock in, we had 41 youth attend and only 20 were church members the rest when visitors! We had an amazing time of games and fellowship as well as worship and a message from our friend Mark Turner. It was encouraging to see that many students attend and be genuinely interested and know we are just scratching the surface of the number of students that live in the area.
Sunday morning we had 15 students come for Sunday school, we are still working through the book of John on Sunday mornings. This week we started on time and most of the students arrived on time!!
Please continue to pray for us, we will be starting a study on Wednesday nights based on John Macarthurs book "found: Gods purpose for your life" and we are looking forward to the student interaction.
We are praising God for the lock-in attendence and praying that in the coming weeks these students will come back!

Painting Day!
Fifteen in Sunday School this morning, and my sissy came!! Woo-Hoo!! Now it's just trying to get them to arrive on time ;)
And during the service there were two more baptisms plus there are others waiting to be baptized! It's amazing to see God working!
Matthew and some of the youth stayed for a time of fellowship after the worship service, it consisted of painting the youth room and pizza! We're trying to give them times to grow together as a unit and develop christian friendships, what better a time to do this then while "sprucing up" the youth room!
Looking forward to the coming weeks with these teens and praying God uses us to work in their lives!!
