Moving Forward

We had 26 people at our group on Friday night. This is the most we've had on a regular Friday night.  We also had another first this week, Isaac Rede started working with our youth. I asked him if he'd try it for a week or two and after thinking it through for a few days decided he'd try it for a month!  What a blessing!  I put a picture at the bottom of some of our kids on Friday.
This week we're having a root beer tasting test to see if we can tell the good stuff from the cheap stuff.  Along with that, we'll be talking about how Christ mixed up the values of Biblical times. "The last shall be first and the first shall be last."  Suddenly being a servant was what carried the greatest value. This perplexed a lot of people.  I wonder if Christ were here in the flesh today, would he not make the same statement?  These houses, cars, fancy clothes and expensive toys, these are not worth living for, or working 7o hours a week for, it's our relationships and families, that is where the greatest values are. 
Hope to see some of you on Friday!
