Picnic Pictures

We had our first 2008 Living Stones Church summer picnic yesterday afternoon:

1. Everyone seemed to like St. Patrick’s Park…even over Potato Creek.
2. My wife forgot about the bucket of Martin’s Fried Chicken in our van so after the picnic…A WHOLE BUCKET OF CHICKEN went uneaten!
3. Weather was perfect…for about an hour…and then we got some cooler winds and rain (not bad though).
4. Softball game was fun…had a rain delay after an inning and a half.
5. Great turnout.
6. Plenty of food…tons of 2 liters of soda.

Picnic ON!

Looks like a great afternoon for a picnic.  We’re on!  $3 entrance fee per vehicle.  Let’s have fun!

Junior High Church Camp 2008!

Got back from a week with 7-8th graders (Junior High).  We were at Michiana Christian Service Camp’s Junior High session of church camp.  I’m exhausted (especially for being out of routine for two straight weeks)…however, IT WAS A BLAST!!

Last year I attended the 5th & 6th grade session (loved it!) and worried that I wouldn’t enjoy 7th-8th graders as much.  I had nothing to worry about.  I LOVE JUNIOR HIGH!!  The kids were so much fun.  I had a great time.  The Dean (Rob Schwartz), his Faculty, the Jr. Faculty, the students from Great Lakes Christian College, the Program Staff, etc. were OUTSTANDING!

We brought 16 Junior Highers from Living Stones Church.  From everything that I have heard…everyone had a great time.

I couldn’t be any more hyper around Junior High kids (I’m sure I irritated many).  Seriously.  Massive case of ADHD.  It is like I just suck up the collective energy!

Thanks to Amy & Mark Osterhout as well as David & Cynthia Kneip for taking care of our kids.  I’m already looking forward to next year! 🙂

Church Camp

After church this morning I leave with a group of Living Stones Church Junior High students and four awesome adult sponsors (David & Cythia Kneip and Mark & Amy Osterhout) to the Michiana Christian Service Camp for a week of camp!

I’m sure it will be a blast.  I must confess that just getting home last night and leaving for a week of camp with about 18 hours turnaround (along with paying bills…doing laundry…repacking…and preaching a sermon) is a little draining…BUT I’m sure I will rebound quickly as I suck the energy from junior high students to get my ADHD self on!!
