Refuge Update #1

I would like to take some time away from my ramblings to update the reader...whomever you are...about God's work at the Lake Cities Church of Christ.

I guess this could be the Christmas letter you never get until Forth of July...
"Julie is excited about her senior year...Brian went on his first date...our dog is still chewing on things..."
You know the type.

Well, in response to a conviction among a bunch of jr. high and high school kids, we held a bake sale that raised some $200 dollars for the hurricane evacuees that have been attending our church. This may or may not be impressive, but the kids planned/ran it all, you would have been proud no matter who you are!

We are developing an "unofficial" leadership team among the youth group. Some are in charge of a youth directory we are doing, one or two have offered to help redo the pictures in the youth room, and one has even discussed the desire to teach class! God is amazing!

Be in prayer for the future of our church...the youth. The youth is the future of everything, no need to state the obvious, but I think we forget that too often. God is present in the lives of the youth at Lake Cities, I pray that that overflows to the peers of "my kids" in the youth group!

God is good.
