But Wait it's not a Wednesday.

The planets have aligned in such a way that has caused me to be a bloggin on a Monday morning. Aparently my pastor of worship, Mr. Bingo-Bongo himself has decided that people win blog wars by who posts on any given day or who posts the coolest thing? I guess that makes sense in some way, I think it's a guy thing that forces us once we make up a game to then come up with how to determine the winner and loser. At any rate, as long as I post just about every day and don't constantly go to the youtube well I think I will win. Or lose because who blogs every day?

This past weekend the high school youth group (WHICH MEETS ON SUNDAY NIGHTS AT 6:30 AT WINDY CITY COMMUNITY CHURCH) went on our annual all nighter BREAKAWAY! We go see a wolves game, (they lost) then we saw a band and heard a gospel message then went bowling, then to this huge open gym/pool fitness joint, then to this fun world place with goKarts and laser tag and video games. It was a lot of fun as always, though it was a super long night. What was cool about the trip was that we invited the 8th graders of our Junior High program (WHICH MEETS ON TUESDAY NIGHTS AT 7:00 PM ALSO AT WINDY CITY COMMUNITY CHURCH) to come out and join the high schoolers on this trip as a way to ease their transition into the high school youth group. I think they had some fun, and they got to see what the high school youth group is like and what they are getting themselves into.

With this addition to our high school group for the next few weeks we are going to be looking at unity, what it means what it is and why as Christians we are called to it. I think the New Testament church had to deal with this issue a lot as they had to learn how to take Jews and Gentiles and put differences and cultures aside and do church. This is alot of what we will be dealing with in high school group now that the 8th graders are officially members of the high school group as well. It'll be interesting to see what the group begins to look like as we start to head to the summer.

Please pray for both the junior high and high school ministries as we see the year coming to a close and we look to set the kids up for victory during the summer months and how we can best support and encourage them in their walks, even though there is no regular ministry for them.

i think I win today bob.

On and I'm on chapter 4. Boo Yah.
