This is the first week of summer for many students in our youth group this week. I have taken a few fishing in the early a.m. this week and it has been fun. Summer is a great time to be in youth ministry. I am going to try and hang out with all of the students this summer at some point. I also hope to reach out to a few of the fringe students that we have seen just a few times this summer and build some steam for new blood this fall. Also in one week we head to the great Pine Haven Christian Assembly (PHCA). That has got to be a one of the greatest places with some of the best people. It is truly been a historical place for changing and molding students lives.
On a different note – the cat is finally out of the bag – and we have nominated Rick Walston to be our next Senior Pastor. I personally couldn’t be happier. We are getting a humble man who is truly over qualified for our church. He is high caliber – but it won’t be official until the congregation votes at the end of the month. I won’t type at you next week due to camp but I will give a camp report the following week.
