“When we were baptized, we died and were buried with Christ.

THINK… a poem by one of our students!

deaniejohnson — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:54:14 +0000

THINK

When I think of villains
I think of all things wrong
When I think of heroes
I think of my laboring mom

When I think about friends
I think of “That 70’s Show”
When I think about tadpoles
I think about how they grow

When I think about flowers
I think about cauliflower
When I think about presidents
I think about all that power.

The youth group had a great time at Fall Retreat ‘09! We focused on God’s intimate involvement with His creation including everything from the biggest stars in the universe down to the tiniest cells in our bodies. All of God’s creation shouts of His glory! He has a plan for each of us, and He has equipped us with just the right abilities, talents and traits to become all that He intends for us to be!! Thanks to all who helped make our weekend an awesome time of relationship strengthening and spiritual growth!
