Sorry for my lack of posting last week. My bad. Special appologies to Riane for not posting her VBS info as she asked in her comment post. I'll do better.
Regular Rec. this week. It's suppose to be hot all week. I'll bring water.
Regulart Youth Group this coming Sunday 6:30-8. This past week I asked the question what is True, or what is Truth. We sat around and wrote down what we thought a true statement was or what truth was. We didn't really talk about it, we just wrote....so that means this week we're going to talk about what truth is. Is there such a thing?
If you love painting and didn't get your fill by doing the youth room, Burt needs some help painting Fellowship Hall this Saturday morning. It's a big room and will need some serious help.
If you missed the theatre performance thing that Lindsey, Nyssa and Emily were in, it was AWESOME! I think there's another chance to see it this Thursday, but I don't know the time....maybe someone else does?
I know it's hot summer, but would you rather be hot or cold?

A mess
I'm sitting in my dining room. This room used to have lots of really cute stuff that Marjorie decorated with. Now it is littered with toys. All shapes and varieties and colors of toys are just thrown all about. Know what? I LOVE IT! Thanks so much for praying for us for months and years. You guys have been awesome.
OK back at it though.
Regular REC. tomorrow night 7/19 7-8:30ish.......in the field if it's nice, in the gym if it rains........if you're not sure......come to the gym to find out.
SUNDAY 7/23 Kidstuf until 7:30....youth group until 8:30
MONDAY 7/24 SWIMMING 5:30-7:30 at C.A.R. Pool Good times. Families will be there so no dunking Aaron underwater.....seriously!

We're all good
Just a real quick note. I'm exhausted and it's not even 10 pm yet. We have Corban. WE are all alive and well.
Corban is still really confused as to whats' going on. He's taking a long time adjusting to things. My parents haven't even gotten to hold him yet. Today he actually held each of their hadns which was a big step forward. It's going to be a long slow process for all of us to adjust to each other.
Don't be surprised if he's very shy when he sees you for the first time..,..or the second time or the third time. He'll come around. He's adjusting to everything.
This all being said, he's the most beautiful thing we've ever seen in our lives! He's so dang cute. Ok more later, i gotta go get some sleep

THIS IS IT!
It's 7:15am. We are at the Holiday Inn near Dulles Airport just outside of Washington DC. In 15 minutes we're leaving to go to the airport.
When we get there we have to ask lots of questions to figure out where we actually need to be. In not too long, a little boy who we've all been waiting for will be here! FOR REAL THIS TIME!
Scared, excited, nervous, emotional.

Next Sunday there is Kidstuf Family Vacation, but no regular youth group.

What's up
Here's a whole bunch of times and dates for you.....along with some news.
1. Sunday July 2nd. Regular youth group time, regular youth group place. 6:30-8 at church. Bring a stick of gum (that's optional)
2. Monday July 3rd. This is just if you want to. At 3pm there is a group of people getting together to actually put the REVOLUTION FLOAT together. The design is already taken care of, we just need to put it on the truck etc. This is going to take a bunch of people and you could be one of them!
3. 4th of July. WE WANT YOU to be in the parade with us. It'll be pretty cool. We're meeting at 9am behind the YMCA. Just look for a mass of rowdy teenagers with the coolest float down there.....that'll be us. We have T-shirts printed up and they ROCK!!!! I'm serious. I love these shirts. If you come on the 4th they're only 5 bucks. After that they'll jump to 10....which I still think is a steal. Please bring exactly 5 dollars if possible for your shirt. The idea is that people see this giant wave of adults and teens walking toward them giving out stuff. It'll be cool.
4. BIG NEWS!!!! CORBAN IS FINALLY COMING HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! For real this time. Our paperwork made it through Pittsburgh and there's nothing else that stands in our way. Less than two weeks and he'll be home! We're super stoked. Thanks for keeping us in your prayers.
5. I like carrots.

NEW FEATURE
You'll notice that there is now a calendar at the left of the blog. There isn't much in there right now, because it takes some time to input info in there. The idea is that you and your parents will be able to see what's coming up. Hopefully everyone will be on the same page easier. I'll work on getting the info in there ASAP.

Youth Room Ideas
OK if you don't know yet, we're re-doing the youth room. There are several stages to this project. Cleaning and painting is step one and we're working on that now. What I want to chat about is what happens after that.
I'll start you out with some questions and ideas....I'm looking for your input. ANY IDEA is good. Even if it's really off the wall, I want to hear it. To add to the discussion just click on the COMMENTS at the bottom of this mini article. Then you have to click the OTHER button. That way it'll let you post, but we'll still be able to see who you are.....if you like anonymity, you could post as ANONYMOUS, but that's just silly. Let's have some dialogue right here!
What are we sitting on? If you missed the conversation tonight.....couches might not be the best idea for the future....but you could make your case for couches too!
Other than the new color of the walls, what kind of decorating should we do?
Lounge seems like a silly 60's name. It also infers that all we do is lay around and eat bonbons. Ideas for a name? I titled this Youth Room, but that's not absolute.
Ok there's a starting point. Go to it.

TONS of new stuff
OK lots of updates.
1. The youth night that was suppose to be this coming Tuesday has been moved. We realized that we just didn't have enough time to do what we wanted to do, and get the word out to enough people. We have moved it to TUESDAY MAY 30th. Mark it down, plan on being there.
2. FRIDAY JUNE 2nd is a cool event at Praise Fellowship in Russel. This is totally being done by the youth up there. They are bringing in some bands and some other cool stuff. Should be pretty cool. I think they're calling it "Rated R for Revolution". Look for flyers for that soon.
3. Design a T-shirt. I've been telling you that we're having a Revolution T-shirt design contest for awhile now. I still have had no designs submitted. SOOOOOO we've sweetened the pot a little. If you're design gets picked you now win $30.00, a CD, and a T-shirt when they get printed. Who doesn't need 30 bucks?
4. 4th of July Parade. There will be a float. There will be 150-200+ students your age walking with the float. We will be handing out tracts. We will be handing out candy. There will be music, singing, etc. etc. etc. Why sit and watch the parade when you can be part of it?
5. You can respond and add notes to each of these posts if you'd like. Right below each update is a comments button. just click on it and you should be able to add notes to me or to others. It's easy to use.
