From the Youth Director:

I hope that everyone is having a great summer. Summer will be over before we know it so enjoy it. There is so much to do in the summer time. Going to the lake, golfing, and camping are some of the things that I enjoy doing. One thing that we all need to be careful of though is letting God take a back seat to our fun agenda. It's ok to enjoy the summer but we also need to make sure that we still take time out of our schedules to spend time with God.

Here are some updates on the youth group: Those of us that went to the Creation Festival at the end of June had a great time together worshiping God and growing closer to each other. We will be going out to lunch as a class after church on August 10th. I have tickets to the Pulse Festival and am planning on going with some youth, hopefully. Saturday, August 23 we will be having a youth service at Maple Grove starting at 6 pm.
