Mega Relay

I led an eager Impact Team over to Erskine tonight to lead the Mega Relay for Shake-n-Shine.  We had a blast!  Mega Relay is this crazy, intense team game of team challenges that come right after each other.  Leading the kids and the counselors was a blast! I will say that God is answering your prayers – keep it up.  …

The Pure in Heart

Jeff was away at a family member’s wedding this weekend, so I was filling in for the message this morning.

Obie in Lowe’s
