What's Up Wednesday!

Everything has taken a hit this week as I've needed some time to shepherd my own family.  After a weekend in Gatlinburg for TCTC with our high school youth, I was in Indianapolis Monday for my mom's surgery, and then yesterday Tinley came down with the flu!  No fun, but we consider our trials pure joy for the sake of our growing faith in our healing and providing God! (James 1)

On the up side, the weekend in Gatlinburg was a ton of fun!  Great to spend time worshipping and praying with the teens!


Here's a quick look at what's going on with our youth...

• FUEL is right at the beginning of a series on James.  Tonight is James 1:19-25.  Next week we jump into chapter 2.  I've challenged our youth to spend time in James with their quiet times over the next month or so.  As a parent, encourage this with questions, comments, proddings, etc.!
  
• High School Sunday school is working through a leadership study on the book of Nehemiah.  Up this Sunday is chapter 4!
  
• Sign-ups continue for the Junior High Believe trip on February 22-23.  The cost is $75.  Contact me with more questions.
  
• We are near some small changes in our Junior High small groups on Sunday night that will improve the health of all groups.  Please Stay Tuned!

Taking Root,
