B-ball Champs!



After winning the soccer league last fall with three very intense playoff games on one Saturday, we immediately began the Basketball season. After another long season and a couple high-stress victory games, we won the league! This time our team celebrated at Dave N Busters. Baseball started the very next day and though many parents wanted me to try for a hat-trick I had to take a break! So no Boys Club until next fall. Congrats team!

Easter Breakfast




Very enjoyable and not too difficult to pull off!

Spring Outreach


As the winter thaws, we are looking to start hitting outreach hard. The biggest buzz so far is our Dave Ramsey class at Cocco's Pizza. I can gratefully say that I do NOT have to run the class, but one of our regulars has run two classes before and is volunteering to do this class as well. While the Ramsey material has some spiritual holes, the concepts and training on how to manage money is a HUGE need in our community, and nation for that matter. We are already getting a bigger response than any other ministry or campaign we have tried thus far.
We are also planning an Easter service outreach, multiple flier drops, another summer kids camp, and several grandparents are offering free babysitting once a month to help invite young couples with kids to join our community. Please continue to pray for an increase and worthwhile discipleship. Thanks.

Church Planting Community


One of the many things I try to do is attend monthly meetings on church planting. There are many church planters and coaches present from all over the region, all with various experiences in starting churches. We usually have a guest speaker, time for prayer, and then an interactive discussion about questions, issues, or concerns. It is a bit of a hike to these meetings with all the traffic, so I usually try to set up a lunch appointment with some guys after the meeting.

Sunday Night Fellowship


This is an older picture of some folks from our home Bible study on Sunday nights. We continue to have this study as well as men's and women's groups each Tuesday at another house.
