Senior Night

We had "Senior Night" on Sunday and recognized our graduating seniors. Here's the goofy picture. We gave them balloons, bibles, and the opportunity to speak during worship. I felt that it was important to give them the opportunity to speak in worship and I'm glad that I did. For the most part, they spoke about how open, friendly, welcoming, and loving this community has been to them. Some of them experienced that for the first time several years ago and some only a few weeks ago. Either way, it's a testament to what this community of faith means to those who are in it.

Narnia

The retreat was fun, but the weather was...interesting. We hiked up the mountain on Saturday and stumbled upon Narnia--at least that's what everyone told me. It reminded me of Sleepy Hollow.

Anyway, it was beautiful in the mountains. We did some work on personality, spirituality, etc. We ate well. We had a campfire. We sang. We worshipped at the outdoor chapel. We played cards. We rested. And we played Guitar Hero.

This is a picture of Mark and Brent throwing the frisbee just before we left. The weather was nice on Sunday (wish we could have stayed longer).

R.I.P. Sponge Bob Square Pants

Sponge Bob Square Pants had an unfortunate accident involving the coffee table this past week. Actually, his demise had more to do with a baseball bat and a hungry mob of students. All that's left of him are the legs, and they keep moving around the PSC to different places.

The Sponge Bob pinata was a gift to me from the students on my birthday a few weeks back. We had a good time smashing him up after worship.

In other news, we have some new bulletin boards around the PSC thanks to our friends Julie and Jerris. Betsy K. put some quotes up on them--including this one.

That's one that would serve me well to remember. Thanks for Julie and Jerris for the other improvements that you will notice around the place too: bathrooms, landscaping, etc.
