Growing in Jesus

The week has gone by quickly. Today is our last full day here. Yesterday seemed to be a key day of spiritual growth for many of our teens. We sit down together as a group and chat about what we learned. God is showing more of Himself to all us through this experience. It's been a blessing.

Last night was the Talent Show (emphasis on "Show") and we shared the "Fearless Heart" routine that we did in Brazil last year. It was a lot of fun to do but more than that, another connection we could all make together as we regularly had time to practice after lunch.

Continue praying for us this week and beyond as we learn more about Christ and grow in Him but then also take what we've learned and make it a part of our lives. The goal is to change and become more like Christ every day of our lives, not just during the week at camp.

A few pictures from the past week are below. The first night was Jumbo Hasbro Night 'O Games and Mr. Potato Head was the MC. We also had a '50's night that was a ton of fun too!

Summer Camp!

We are spending a week at Gull Lake Ministries in Hickory Corners, MI this week for our Summer Camp. We are having a great time and being challenged to grow in Christ. We had an injury though. Lynn scrapped his knee and hand and hurt his wrist while playing capture the flag. He continues to participate in other games though so seems to be healing well.

It's been a fun week so far, making friends, getting to know the counselors, etc. Parents - feel free to call my cell if you want to talk to your kids!

Marengo Cave

This past weekend 27 brave souls had the opportunity to "prove themselves as men". We ventured down to Marengo Cave Park and took an adventure through a cave. This is an experience we will not soon forget. We were joined by Scott Tiede, and his son Caleb, from Bethel Bible. Scott shared with us on what a man is and how to get wisdom. It was a great weekend of growing in the Lord, fellowship and danger! See the pictures below:

Tourney Time

With Spring Break beginning next week, WOL Club meeting will be cancelled on March 25.

We will, however, be holding a Father/Son 2-on-2 double elimination tournament for the Jr. High guys on Wednesday (3/25). There are currently seven teams signed up. The tournament tips off at 6:05 pm CST at the TCBC Arena.

If you would still like to sign-up, contact Josiah or his dad, Pastor Andy. If your dad can not make it that night due to work, illness, etc. you may recruit a DIA leader to play with you.

Note: Congrats to Matthew and John Rodibaugh, 2009 Tournament Champs!

TI Service

Sunday evening, our teens held a TI service for our church as they prepare for Area Teens Involved coming up in March.

Chill with Phil - Feb 09

Here are some pictures from our Friday the 13th Chill with Phil night.

Wednesday Evening Service Cancellation

Due to the extremely chilly temps that are expected beginning tomorrow night, we have decided to cancel all Wednesday evening activities at Tri-County Bible Church on January 14.

WOL teens - you will be well served to spend this extra time memorizing some verses from the verse paks! :D

God Bless and stay warm!
