John showing off in front of the youth kids. They got to eat every meal with us at camp.

Melissa, Shari, David, and myself on top of the mountain.

Last weekend was Behold at Camp Sumatanga. Despite the adults not being wild over the speaker or the band... the youth had a great time. I have decided that is doesn't matter where you take teenager....as long as it is away from home.. they will have fun! It was sooo cold, but the kids(my personal kids) got to enjoy some of the entertainment. They each took turns going to hear the band play over the weekend. John of course loved it! The girls, while enjoying seeing all the youth kids, did not care that much about it! Rainey started complaining with her ear on Friday night.. just in time.. right? Her ear was draining pretty bad, so she was pretty irritable all weekend too. We went to the top of the mountain during free time, had a campfire, and had quite a few other exciting moments (sick teenager, falling in creeks, ripping pants, ect)!

Meals of Mercy ( which is a free meal ministry) started on Wednesday night at our church 2 weeks ago. Somehow, I ended up in charge of the whole thing. Me being the excellent cook that I am! HA! Cooking for over 200 is a learning experience...and shopping for it.. I have been to Wal-Mart at least 15 times in the past 3 weeks! ugh! Along with our normal Wednesday night fellowship dinner, we have had alot of needy people coming for dinner. Every week it gets bigger, as the word spreads. Please keep this ministry in your prayers. That we will have the financial support to continue and that we will be able to help as many as possible. Praise report: Last week at Worship at the Bridge we had 7 Meals of Mercy people and 4 of those attended a Sunday school class!
