wow

Wow it's been way too long since my last update. I have seemed to completely space on updating this site. Chicago was amazing. It was a great three day break, and the pizza was awesome. The conference was nice. The best thing that I got out of it is that I'm not alone. There's others in the same position as me, with churches in transition and all that. This last 2 weeks has been really busy. I'm gearing up for a high school retreat, as well as big fundraisers for our mission trip. My mind keeps wandering of all the little things I need to do. I guess ince it's been so long the best way to update would be through a quick summary of praises and prayer requests.

Praises

• The church has hired a senior as a part time intern specifically for jr. high so that will be a great thing.
• Great break in Chicago
• Had a great conversation with the head of the council, so got some ideas of where the church is going with my position
• 3 new jr. high leaders have come on board.
• Some really good conversations and hang out times with students

Prayer Requests

• Need high school leaders. 3 leaders have stepped down or cut back responsibilities in the last couple weeks
• Fundraising support for our conference in Tennessee
• Good communication with staff/parents
• I'm having open office hours tuesday and thursdays at a Coffee Shop, so pray that that is more of a relational time with students than an office time.

There seems like a lot more going on these last couple weeks, but there are the highlights. I will keep this page updating more frequently. Thanks for praying. Oh and me and Sarah will be up Sunday night at Applebees, so hope to see lots of people!
