Random Update 10-6-08

Hey everyone.  I don't have one main thing to talk about -- just several smaller things. To start with, I would like to ask for your continued prayers for adult volunteers in the Student Ministry here at RCC.  Right now, we are struggling to find people who have the time (or make the time) to … Continue reading Random Update 10-6-08

Photo Scavenger Hunt – Fall 2008

We had a photo scavenger hunt for the Student Ministry on this past Sunday.  For info on how that went, check out our Student Website. Click here to check out the blog entry.

What more can I do?

After an amazing day at church, we had a great photo scavenger hunt with the students.  There were several new faces, too!  Then, I headed to the high school for a time of worship through music and listening to an evangelist/motivational speaker (former NBA star and Harlem Globetrotter, Marvin Adams).  He is so funny and … Continue reading What more can I do?

Six Flags and Jeremy Camp

Yesterday, I went to Six Flags with our high school students.  It was great!  If you've never been to the one in Springfield, MA, I definitely recommend it -- mainly to ride "Superman: Ride of Steel."  It was awesome!  We also got to see a Jeremy Camp concert.  This was very cool for two reasons. … Continue reading Six Flags and Jeremy Camp

Back at Home (7-20-08)

This blog is titled “Back at Home” for 2 reasons.  The first is because I am back in New Hampshire (my new home) after a night in Chicago.  After a lot of prayers, I was able to get on the earliest flight back to Manchester, NH, this morning.  I arrived at 11:30am (Eastern time).  Thanks … Continue reading Back at Home (7-20-08)

A Great Week of Camp (7-16-08)

I just finished up my time at camp, and let me tell you, it was great!  I started by speaking to various Sunday School classes at First Christian Church in West Frankfort (thanking them for their support).  I then went to camp that afternoon.  I led worship music and spoke during the missions time.  I … Continue reading A Great Week of Camp (7-16-08)
