Hey Church!
October is here. Time seems to be flying by too quickly. Students are fully in the groove of this new school year and are deep into their respective athletic seasons. Our students are definitely busy to say the least! This past month we had our Frozen Frisbee event. It was a great time playing ultimate frisbee and then enjoying some wonderful homemade ice cream! Thank you to all who took the time to make ice cream for this event. We allowed some of our students to vote on the best ice cream and they voted Coach OJ’s homemade lemon ice cream the winner. I have to say that it was some of the best homemade ice cream I’ve ever had! I also had the opportunity to go and support some of our students at Smiths Station High School for See You at the Pole. It was great to start our day in prayer and I was proud to see one of our students, Libby Parkman, leading her fellow students in prayer! That night, in spite of all the rain, we had around 150 students from six different churches gather together in the FAC for worship. It was a good day in the Lord! As I teased earlier, this generation of students is busy. They may be the busiest generation of all time. Almost every minute of every day is accounted for, and there is a struggle for them to make time for God when they barely have time for themselves. Our Fall Retreat this year will be November 8th-10th. We will be going to Pine Eden and the theme for the weekend will be “Pause”. Our students will be challenged and equipped to press “pause” and take the time to cultivate their relationship with God. Please be in prayer for Fall Retreat and reach out to me if you would like to be a part of this special weekend.
In Christ,
Josh
