Happy Summer!

School is out, the warm weather is here, pools are open; I'd say it's starting to look a lot like summer time. Which is awesome because I love summer! I love the sunshine, the BBQ, the warm summer nights, and most of all, I love that we get to hang out with teenagers all summer without silly school getting in the way. For me, summer is all about taking advantage of this extra time in our schedules, to make new friendships and build stronger relationships! We have so many fun things planned for our youth group this summer: our Mexico trip, Hume Lake, pool parties, ice cream socials, games nights and some quality time over coffee or frozen yogurt. It is so important for our students to build friendships with other Christian friends and adults who can be there for them and encourage them in their faith throughout their lives. This is what our fun events are all about. Yes, we may be eating hot dogs or throwing water balloons at each other and on the surface those things might not seem very important. But solid Christian friendships and relationships are built by spending time together and we are so excited about doing that this summer. We hope your students can join us!
