"Good evening. What can I tell you?"
• Friday Night – O’s game got rained out so we took the Youth Group bowling @ Hillendale. That ended up being a lot of fun and the good people at the bowling alley were very accommodating for our group of rowdy kids and gave us two hours of bowling (on 4 lanes), a piece of pizza, a drink and rental shoes for each kid for about $8 bucks. The game was gonna be $5, so the Youth Committee picked up the extra $3 for each kid. They all had a good time and it was a good change of pace.
• Saturday – I studied for an MCSE exam (3 of 7); the Youth Director Search Committee grilled our first face-to-face candidate which went very well. He was a very impressive candidate whose philosophy of ministry will fit in well with our church, and he was personally a great guy. We told very similar jokes, so that made him pretty cool in my book. We had a BBQ with the committee, pastor, families, and the candidate and his wife after our grilling. This was a lot of fun and went a little later than I think some wanted, seeing as how we needed to be at church in the morning.
• Sunday – I moderated the adult elective sunday school class on music in worship and culture, which despite our smaller numbers than usual I believe went well. Pastor Burguet’s sermon was an overview of John 10, which certainly touched my heart in several ways (reminded me that my opinions are not as important as the word of God, the best way to defend the Gospel is with the Gospel itself, Jesus Christ is a warrior who protects his flock from thieves & robbers (original Greek means something closer to terrorist), Christ knows me as personally as he knows God the Father). Gregory from Honest to Blog joined us in church, which was a blessing and we were very happy to have him there. After the service, we went to lunch for one last meal with the candidate and his wife to enjoy more fellowship. It was a great time and something I think we wished we could do every week!
"That's the news and I am outta here."
