This week, I finally decided to move the RCC Students' website from a WordPress.com site to a WordPress.org site. While this might not mean anything to many of you, I'll explain it a bit. Essentially, it is still the same, except for a few big things. Instead of being hosted on a free site, we … Continue reading New RCC Student Ministry Website
Looking for Cheap Airline Tickets
I do not do this very often, but I thought..."Why not?" Our high school students are taking their first "overseas" mission trip this coming summer. We will be heading to Puerto Rico. Before we finalize the overall cost, we need to find our flight. So, if you know of any airline that could help us … Continue reading Looking for Cheap Airline Tickets
Help Parents Prioritize God at Home
Rockingham Christian Church, where I serve, has quickly become more and more "orange." By that, I mean that we are doing our best to combine the efforts of the family (red = heart) and the church (yellow = light). In this, it has been on my mind to reach out to parents even more. So, … Continue reading Help Parents Prioritize God at Home

As Summer 2010 Winds Down…
It is hard to believe that summer is almost over. We have about one month left. Kids will start going back to school soon, youth group will start up again, and the leaves will begin falling off the trees. Over the next several weeks, my focus will be on two major things at RCC -- … Continue reading As Summer 2010 Winds Down…
WorkcampNE Reflections
This past week, I was up in Maine with 15 students and 3 other adults for Workcamp New England. Basically, it is a service project week for high school students. If it helps, think of it as a mission trip right in the United States. Ever year, the location changes, but the purpose is still … Continue reading WorkcampNE Reflections
Student-Parent Small Groups
So, an idea that has been running through my head since a couple weeks ago is this idea of students and parents in the same small group at church. I can only wonder how this could benefit families growing together in their faith. This all has to do with trying to blur those lines. I … Continue reading Student-Parent Small Groups
Thoughts Behind Summer Programming
As many already know, our student ministry programming takes a different look in the summer. We do not simply cancel our weekly programs; we just take another approach. There are many reasons behind this. Another youth minister, who serves at a church in Michigan, recently put together some of his thoughts on why they similarly … Continue reading Thoughts Behind Summer Programming
Orange Conference – Moving Forward
Almost 3 weeks ago, I had the privilege of attending the Orange Conference. This was my first conference in several years, and I was very excited to attend. My experience, though, surpassed my expectations. I have already shared my notes from each day on my blog, but I wanted to share some ideas I have on how … Continue reading Orange Conference – Moving Forward
Orange Recap #3
The final day of The Orange Conference was today (yesterday by the time I am writing this), and I have to say I am not sure what day I liked better. There are so many things that I have on my mind. I really need some time to sit down, pray, and articulate everything when … Continue reading Orange Recap #3
