This Is It!

Well guys, tonight is the last night with Janelle, Darrell and myself. I hope you can all make it out so we can say good bye to you. We have all had a great summer ministering to you guys and I will be praying for you all year.

I hope you had a great summer and I hope you have great school year. Be good! I will be asking about you. Keep in mind what I said at the sleepover guys. Consider what the "X" really means to you and see if X really does mark the spot.

Well I had a blast guys. The highlight of my summer was seeing a few of you make decisions for Christ that will change your lives! What was your highlight?

The "X" SLEEP-Over!

Well guys the end of the summer is looming on us like Darrell on a toasted pizza and balogna sandwich! The of course means that school is coming but it also means that it is time for the end of the summer sleepover! This summer there is only one sleepover because I have a hard time finding people who will stay up all night with you guys. So keep that in mind this time and maybe we can bump it up to two!

Ok, this is the info that you need. So make sure you remember this stuff and tell your friends! Here is the plan.

Friday August 19th
7:00-8:00 - You get here and then we hang out and set up tents and eat stuff! Now that sounds FUN!
8:00-9:00 - We all gather around and listen to Dan teach us stuff. After he is done there will be a time that you can hang out or if you need to talk about anything with a leader this is a great time to do it.
9:00-10:00 - Awesome games that will rock!!!!!!!
10:00-11:00 - Glow in the Dark Football! I am super pumped for this!!!
11:00-11:45 - More games!!
11:45-12:00 Time to get ready for bed
12:07ish-7:32ish - SLEEP!!!!!!!!
7:40 - Dan will be around with an obnoxious wake up call... smarter to already be up at this point really... but whatever you think!
8:00-8:45 - Breakfast
8:45-9:45 - CLEAN and I mean this place is spotless! And take all you stuff with you!
10:00 - Go HOME! All your leaders have other engagements on Saturday so you really need to be out of here by then.

By the way no girls ever mentioned having tents to bring so if we don't' have enough you will be sleeping inside! So get a hold of me! Leave a comment!


I'll see you on the feild! Darrell!

Worship East 2005 Was AWESOME!




Wow. I hardly know what to say. What a day. Those of you who were able to attend can totally back me up. That was an absolutely amazing time. The bands were great, the atmosphere was great, the weather was great, the people were great and most of all our God is so great.

Well when we first got there Thirst for you was the first band and they were pretty good. The drummer was the lead singer and they all did a great job!
  • Thirst For You



  • Next was the LaPoints and they were top notch as always! I had never seen them play with a live band before but they were great.
  • The LaPoints



  • Three Season Ant is an awesome band. We will be listening to their CD at the X tonight. They are amazing musicians and people. I had oppurtunity to chat with them for a bit after their set and they are super guys!
  • Three Season Ant



  • Then one of the headliners was up. ZOEgirl. I have to admit that I really wasn't all that excited to see them but they really blew me away. They put on a great show and had some songs with some real depth. They tugged at this guy's heart. They put on a great show and had some very insightful things to say.
  • ZOEgirl



  • Lunch at Dairy Queen was good, just ask Zack!


    When we got back to Worship East it was time for The Contact and man they were awesome! If I wasn't as broke as a broke I would have went right back and bought their CD! They were great!
  • The Contact



  • Carried Away was next on the list and they are 3 very talented gals. Their harmonies were awesome.
  • Carried Away




  • Then what was for me the highlight of the night, Big Daddy Weave. I'll tell ya what, they really just led us into the preasence of God and we had an amazing worship time! They were Amazing!
  • Big Daddy Weave



  • Good times! So who is coming next year?
