Check out a slide show from our trip to Brazil! The song, "Quebrantado", is "Sweetly Broken" but in Portuguese.
Also on the vimeo site is our "Something Beautiful" dance video.

Quiet Time Journals
This year as we go through the daily Scripture list, instead of using the Word of Life Quiet Time diary, we'll be using a regular notebook. However, we will still be using the WOL Scripture list for the year. You can find a complete list in PDF format at http://www.tcbcindiana.org/ministries/lifeline.
As you complete the reading for the day, write down the date and Bible passage along with your thoughts about the text you read.
For example, apply some truth to your life. If you have difficulty in finding an application for your life, think of yourself as a Bible SPECTator and ask yourself the following questions:
S - is there any SIN for me to forsake?
P - is there any PROMISE for me to claim?
E - is there any EXAMPLE for me to follow?
C - is there any COMMAND for me to obey?
T - is there anything to be THANKFUL for today?
Or write down basic things about the passage such as:
Who is/are the main character(s)?
Where is this taking place?
What Bible verse sticks out to me and why?
If any verse raises a question, right it down and ask your DIA leader.
Hopefully this will help you as you go through your Quiet Time.

Kickoff 2011
We had Kickoff at the church on Wednesday (Aug. 31). It was a great night. The only hiccup was that we weren't able to get the sound working when we showed a video. So, I'm posting the video here if you want to check it out.
Here were are, Phil and Dave, carrying the torch to Kickoff to kick off the 2011-12 year of Lifeline. We didn't have the clearest of directions so we took a few scenic routes. Enjoy.

Brazil Mission Trip
We arrived in Brazil yesterday evening to our final destination. We were scheduled to be here at 2pm but didn't make it until 8pm due to being held up in Miami with a delayed flight. So we missed our connection in Sao Paulo and had to catch a later flight.
The delay was due to American Airlines overbooking the flight. I guess they loaded everyones luggage and then had to take the luggage off of those that did not make it on the plane. That ended up being a 2-3 hour process of us just sitting there on the plane. Not the most fun we've ever had but it's over.
Other than that, all the traveling went well and all of our luggage made it here safely. When we got here, the church had a welcome service for us. Made us feel special since we weren't sure that would happen b/c we arrived so much later than expected. We shared in songs of praise to Jesus and also shared our dance with them. They really get into it, especially the kids, trying to mimic the sweet moves. They really love their music down here and they love it loud.
We woke up this morning to a good breakfast of PB&J, ham & cheese and scrambled eggs. We had coffee and juice as well.
VBS went very well today. We shared a drama, a lesson and craft followed by a snack. We had about 60+ kids there. Afterward we helped prune some trees around the church building and then came in for lunch.
We are all doing well and enjoying the blessing of this opportunity. Thank you all for your prayers.

Brazil 2011 - Packing
For 16 months, we've been preparing for this mission trip we will leave for tomorrow. From getting the team together to working on team building to putting together a schedule, a lot of effort has gone in to this trip.
We hope, above all, to glorify God in this and to grow spiritually. We also hope to be an encouragement to Bill and Erika Moore who have been serving in Brazil for about eight years.
It's been three years since we've been there and we're excited to see the changes that have occurred. Please keep us in your prayers.
Last night we got our supplies packed up:

Six Flags
Our Intern, Dave Tillett, took the Sr. High teens up to Six Flags to spend the day. We had a great time riding the roller coasters, eating $30 fries and drinking $20 cokes!

Senior Night 2011
Here are some pictures from Senior Night. Several from Silas' Song led the music tonight and did a great job. We had a Jeopardy game during the lesson that would have gone better if people would remember to respond in the form of a QUESTION!
"What is...I have no idea how to play Jeopardy?" Correct!
It was fun though and hopefully something sunk in from James chapters 4 and 5. If not, please re-read and digest.
Our leaders did a wonderful job this year and thanks to those that organized the food!

Chill with Phil
Tonight was our last Chill with Phil of the year. We had a smaller crowd than normal and the girls gabbed most of the night but we had fun playing Chess, H-O-R-S-E and Mario Kart!
Class of 2011
Tonight was our last night of Lifeline for 2010-11. We're going to miss the Class of 2011. Congrats Seniors and God Bless!

Dare 2 Share Conference
We took our Student Leadership team to Hoffman Estates, IL for the Dare 2 Share conference. There the teens were more equipped and challenged to share their faith. The GOSPEL is what it's all about!
Shane & Shane led the worship and we were encouraged by messages from Greg Stier, Zane Black and Propaganda. There was also and excellent drama that spoke about reaching the world for Jesus.
