Party with the staff ...

Had a great time with the youth staff last night! Here are some highlights:

*Tiffany (my wife) when asked what she brings to this ministry she said "I'm brutally honest" ... no duh!!
*Keith passed on sharing so Wendy stepped up and shared about him. She said he's a big kid and does a great job building relationships.
*Speaking of Wendy ... Dave said everytime he speaks to a youth who seems to be bugged or hurting they share about a convo they had with Wendy and how they are doing better because Wendy really encouraged them.
*We had some new leaders there last night. I'm excited about each of them. Two went through the youth group so I know them well. The other two will be awesome as well! Get to know them! (Jake, Amanda, Ashley and Josh)
*Getting to know Woody is a must! He is considering youth ministry and I believe he will do an amazing job. If you know him or are friends with him on FB encourage him to join.
*Big Daddy Chris shared that he is a "goofball". Thinking about ways to use his craziness for a good laugh and honoring Jesus.
*Gil and Rob shared about their passion. I'm praying it rubs off and influences more and more youth.
*Captian Ron is just stinking cool!
*Andrew is a funny guy and very creative! Oh and he's a big kid too!

So that's some of what happened. Our new D-groups start in less than two weeks!
