JCX re-cap …

_It’s been 3 weeks since the last update here. Not sure why it’s been that long but I know it’s been busy around here.

_We’re right in the middle of collecting food for our Thanksgiving drive. Lacey Namoa is in charge and doing an awesome job! We’re packing up our first wave of food this Sunday @930a in GFC. This group of food will be delivered on Monday. The next wave will be Wednesday night. A group of guys, lead by Josh Simon, will be packing up some food to be delivered on Friday. The final wave will be packed up next Sunday and delivered Monday. Each wave of food is going to families who have kids on the meal program at the schools. The program is for youth who don’t have breakfast or lunch at home. They also take home a backpack full of food on the weekends, sponsored by the Love in Action ministry.

_We’re still in need of turkeys. Any turkeys ... big or small … will do. Bring them to YCC this Sunday.

_With all this going on, we’re working through Colossians on Tuesday night. Our focus last night was on verses 18-23 of chapter one. We talked about what it means to be a “Contract” Christian versus a “Covenant” Christian. Contract Christians HAVE to change but Covenant Christians GET to change. Awesome stuff and some great discussions about how we move from contract to covenant.

_There is always a time where we get a little crazy and last night was no different. Each youth had a letter under their chair that gave them specific directions. One group had to dance with Chris Grogan and mimic his every move! That was spectacular to watch! Here’s a pic:


_Another group had to run throughout the room with Keith, a former Power Ranger, and show off their best jumping, running and fighting abilities. This is all we could get on film:


_Another great Tuesday … looking forward to next week. Emily Bush is leading our time so come out and support her.
