Pura Vida!
At our last Sunday Night Devo,
our teens came up with a new
name for this event, Pura Vida! This is Spanish
for “pure life.” So, our next Pura Vida! meeting
will be Sunday Night, August 30th at 5:00
P.M. Please bring a 2 liter drink and I’ll take
care of the food. Come celebrate a pure life
and pure fun at Pura Vida!
This summer we have an intern, our own Laura Mitchell,
who will be working with both the teen and children’s
ministries. Laura is a nursing major at Harding who is also
studying with an emphasis on vocational ministry. Her
duties will be to run a portion of this year’s VBS, working
with our teen girls, learning the nuts and bolts of youth
ministry and the children’s ministries. She is already doing
a great job and we are excited to have her on board.
Wow! What a weekend! We had a great weekend at
Lipscomb University for this year’s installment of Jr. Impact.
The theme this year was “Hidden.” The message
was that we hide in our lives what should be revealed (sin
that needs to be confessed) and we don’t hide what needs
to be protected (God’s truth in our hearts). As usual, the
staging in the Allen Arena was spectacular and the drama
did a great job, in a very funny way, of illustrating the
theme. Jeff Walling, Wylie Lowe and Greg Anderson did a
great job of driving the point home to us. Overall, it was
a great experience for our middle school students.
Thanks to all of the guys who did so much to make this year’s Knoxville Workcamp a great success. We painted and did small repairs to 9 houses and involved about 150 students and volunteers from 8 congregations. Everyone worked very hard, even though some of the houses were quite a challenge. We are excited about the growth of this camp and look forward to doing even more next year!
