Summer sizzler ...

Graduation is about 41 days away. I know this because one, I can count and two, one of our seniors told me. I don't like this time of year. Why? It's tough to see kids graduate and leave. Knowing that is should happen doesn't make it easy. The group that's graduating this year has been with me since 5th grade. That's a long time ... 8 years! Some came along later and some left half way through but overall it's been great to watch them grow and change into what God desires. Like I said I spoke to a senior this morning and asked "What could we do better?" They shared this: some one on one with the seniors more often. Give them some deep things to consider. Bring them into the "leaders" group and show them the "cool behind the scene things that take place at group". There was more but those stood out to me. I'm excited about our new D-groups and what they will accomplish. I think this is another good step in ever changing scene of youth ministry.

See ya Sunday @ 8:45 ... anyone want to bring doughnuts???
