ROCKSTARS!

We had a great time at the Rockstar Middle School Youth Gathering last weekend. On Friday afternoon the 10 of us loaded up into 2 cars and headed south. We got there right in time to catch the first Mass Gathering with Agape (Lutheran Christian Hip-Hop artist David Scherer). The theme encouraged us to look to God as our rock and salvation. On Saturday we had workshops, another session with Agape, time for swimming and then 7 hours at Universal Studios! Saturday night Agape gave a great concert- everyone was singing and dancing, while at the same time learning more about God's amazing grace. Sunday morning we worshiped together with holy communion and heard the story of how Jesus comes to us in the poor, hungry, homeless, sick, and imprisoned. Agape challenged us to find an issue that we care about and to try to make a difference in that area of the world's need. All in all God was really good to us this weekend!

Rockstar: Middle School Youth Gathering!

We are having a great time this weekend in Woodland Hills. Unfortunately I can't hook up the camera to show any pictures yet, but they are on their way. We had a blast at Universal Studios, Agape is amazing, and now we are getting ready to close the weekend with worship together.

Welcome 7th Graders and Congrats Confirmands!

We want to especially give a shout out to all our 7th graders who we kidnapped for breakfast a few weeks back!

And congrats to all of our confirmands for doing a great job on their speeches! We made them get up for breakfast too the day before confirmation- but we did not make them skip down the pier! More pictures to come!
