Summer Is In Full Swing

Parents and Students,
Summer is in full swing! I was hanging out with some of our students yesterday after church and it was mentioned that we are already at the mid-point of our summer! I can't believe how fast the month of June has passed!

Summer Camp in Shocco Springs was once again an amazing time. Myself, our adult leaders, and our students all had a wonderful week. I appreciate those that were able to stand up and give testimony to our church family about the camp experience when we returned home. It is hard to put into words what camp was like. I hope you can go next year with us!

I was also able to spend some time with our College & Career group Saturday, June 20th. We were able to go to Memphis to visit my good friend Randy Odum at Memphis Athletic Ministries and then we went to the zoo. Although it was extremely hot we had a great time. Our C&C group is made up of some wonderful folks and I was privileged to spend that Saturday with them.

The month of July will be a bit slower. We will be going thru a series in Refuge titled "Redefining Normal" in connection with materials from WayFarer Ministries. We started last week and it is going to be good. As far as special events, there will be a CANOE TRIP Saturday, July 18th. The cost will be $15 bucks plus money for 1 meal on the way home. We have 20 students signed up already. If you or a friend are interested in going the signup sheet is in the Student Sanctuary. It will be a great time so plan on going with us.

August will be an exciting time for our youth as well. Our students are very excited to hear Ed Newton again. He was our camp pastor last year at StudentLife and was phenomonal. You will not want to miss our worship gatherings during this awesome time. Pump it up and invite all your friends.

Before I end this post....I have an idea for a trip in August to encourage our students since they will be getting back to the grind of school. What will it be???? More details to come soon.

Psalm 18:2,
Shannon
