JCX Tuesday 6/1/10

JCX details from a GREAT Tuesday night!

-Lots of peeps gathered Tuesday for JCX. Always fun when peeps show up. Still amazes me that they show up. We started the main group time with a game of “Firsts”. There were 25 things that needed to be accomplished. Some crazy, some fun, some easy like: Be the first to get Andrea to say “E.T. phone home” (by the way, she HATES E.T.) or be the first to start a Red Rover game. So cool watching everyone move around the room at a frantic pace trying to accomplish all of the tasks.

-Jon Watch taught us from Romans 8:28. The teaching focused on the difference between “everything happens for a reason” vs. “all things work together for the good.” At the end of the teaching, Jon invited those who want “ALL THINGS” to be for the glory of God to write that phrase on their hands or arms.

-This lead to some great dialogue in the D-groups. Some heavy, some very profound and others just venting. All in all it was real cool to hear the response to the teaching.

-Next Tuesday, our leaders group is taking over the night. Their focus is Peer Pressure and Family. It’s been a cool blessing to watch them put together their thoughts on this. The way they will teach and what they have planned is very creative.

-Seniors graduate next Wednesday from school. This is always a tough time of year. It’s tough because I hate saying goodbye to those I love. Some are moving away and others will join the college group, which is rad! I get excited for this time too. We have 25 freshmen moving up to JCX in 2 weeks and that’s awesome! Looking forward to building some great friendships with these youth.

-Hurricane Harbor is in 2 weeks. Hope you can make it! $20 plus spending money for a day of water and craziness.

-CIY is July 19th – 24th … space is filling up fast … don’t be left out!

-Catalina is August 11th … have you ever gone parasailing? You can if you go with us to Catalina!!
