14 hours in a van, 2 pukes, some downhill ice skating, a near case of hypothermia, worship with a British accent, and a too-fast-talking preacher later and Ski Trip is officially in the books. Whew! Deep breath! We all made it back alive and ready for a nap!
Hopefully, you guys got something out of the message and worship this past weekend. We talked a lot about the love of God and how it reaches out to us even when we aren't looking for Him. Saturday night we talked about being "born again" and what Jesus really meant by this phrase. It is a beautiful picture of a new life being supernaturally birthed inside us. While the talk of punishment for sin is harsh and unnerving, the message of salvation and Christ taking our place on the "sin train" is an amazing testimony to the love of God.
We will not be meeting this Sunday, but Andy and Alissa are heading up a hang out time with the students from the Burmese Church. Stay tuned for more details and talk to them Sunday after church to see what the plan is.
Sunday February 3rd will be the Super Bowl Party at the YMCA. We will be having drinks and food, hanging out, watching the game, and laughing at the hysterical commercials. This is a great time to bring a friend to hang out with us for the night. More details to follow...
Friday February 8th will be High School GameDay. We will hang out for the night at the church office playing all your favorite games with 30 of your best friends!
Make sure to let me (Andrew) or Chad know this week if you plan on going to Biloxi with us over Spring Break. There are only 20 spots available, and the trip is filling up fast! The dates for that trip are March 23-27 and the cost is $80.
