L.A. Dodgers Christian Family Day

The August calendar is almost done and one thing in the works is a trip to a professional baseball game (which was suggested by a few people). We'll be going to the watch the Los Angeles Dodgers play the Colorado Rockies on Sunday, August 19th at 1:10 p.m. This is the annual Christian Family Day at Dodger Stadium. Tickets are $14. After the game Larry the Cucumber and Bob the Tomato from the hit animated series "Veggie Tales" will be on hand for pictures with kids in attendance. Also, there will be a live concert by Christian band Hawk Nelson and Dodger player testimonies. We'll leave right after our worship service on Sunday morning and eat Dodger dogs for lunch - what could be better? If you want to go, let Jeff know how many tickets you would like NO LATER than Sunday, July 29th so we can order and hold our tickets. If you have any questions, e-mail Jeff!

Let There Be Summer!

As you can tell from the pictures above, we had a great time at the Burgess's house. Lots of fun playing in the pool, eating good food and getting to know each other better. Let's make it our goals this summer to get to know each other better, to grow as a youth group, and to draw closer to God. Thanks for everyone who was willing to share during our devotional / discussion. 1 Thessalonians 2:8 "We loved you so much that we were delighted to share with you not only the gospel of God, but our lives as well, because you had become so dear to us." Let's use this verse as our inspiration and example, and let's honestly share our lives together this summer.

Don't forget, next Saturday is the Jars of Clay concert at Chapman University! $15 per ticket - get your money to me ASAP. God bless.
