LIFE Group BBQ

We interrupt this regular youth group blog with some pictures from our awesome Life group. Yesterday, we had a special Life group gathering at the Kay house where some great food was served up. Steve did a great job manning the BBQ and supplied plenty of burgers and hot dogs. There was lots of great sides and some awesom desserts too. And the kids had a blast too - some orderly water games turned into a gigantic splash fest.

FishFest

I'm a little late getting these up, but thanks to everyone who came out for FishFest last Saturday at Verizon Wireless Ampitheater in Irvine. Yes, it was hot, but the shade come on our seats farily quickly and it turned into a great afternoon and evening. Jars of Clay was awesome as always, but Phil Wickham and Hawk Nelson also put on some great sets.

Finally smiling in the shade!

This was the view from our seats - no zoom being used here...

Phil Wickham and his band putting on a great performance with the sun beaming down on them.

Yup, that's Jars of Clay down there on the stage - the video screens on the sides helped.

August Activities and Help Needed!

The blog has been updated on the left with our newest upcoming activities. There are two activities I need some immediate responses to so we can adequately plan them and pull them off!

1) The teens have been asking for a beach trip. We have an open weekend August 22-23. But this is one activity I'm going to need an adult/parent to take charge and plan and execute. So if you're willing to help plan a beach trip, let me know!

2) We also have an Angels baseball game scheduled on Sunday, August 30th. This is another event that the teens themselves have asked we have. This is open to all family members and to all church members. If you want to go to this baseball game - let me know by August 9th how many tickets you would like. If we have enough people coming, we can qualify for a group rate. We will need the cash for tickets on August 9th as well.

Jars of Clay's "Two Hands"

We've purchased group tickets for FishFest this year, which is happening Saturday, July 25th at Verizon Wireless Ampitheater in Irvine. If you'd like to attend, tickets are $10 per person. Reserve your ticket now with Jeff – we only have a limited amount! We'll meet at the church building at 12:30 and go get lunch and then it's on to the concert! To celebrate and to drum up some interest, here is Jars of Clay's latest video, "Two Hands," which itself is an amazing testament to make a difference in this world.
