See You at the Pole Rally.

On September 24 @ 6:00 PM we are having a youth rally to prepare us for "See You at the Pole."(SYATP) SYATP is a student led, nationwide time of prayer held around the flagpoles of our local schools.

It is such an important event that we want to have a rally to encourage you all to get to your flagpoles on Wednesday the 27th and pray for your schools. At the rally we'll have a time of worship with some pretty rockin' music, a time for students to tell of their relationship with Jesus and why they think that prayer is important, and I (PJ) am even going to get the opportunity to share with you about the importance of prayer for your school.

I have some seats open in my van but it would be really great if parents would come out to the rally with your teens to show them you think it is important too. The rally will be held at the ampitheater where the outdoor concerts are typically held. I am not sure of its' name but if I find out I will edit. Hope to see you all there and if you have any questions please feel free to contact me at the church @ 489-3105.

A Good Book

Have you ever felt like your relationship with God was stagnant. Not going anywhere. Or maybe you haven't even given it a thought but if you did you would have to admit that there wasn't really anything new to report on the God front. Actually, that is one of the ways I know there is something wrong between me and God. How could there be nothing new when my God is infinitely deep. Must be my problem right? Right. So what can I do to remedy the situation? There are many great things one can do to rejuvenate your relationship with God but one of my favorite ways is to read a really good book that totally stretches my understanding of God to new dimensions. Some great books I've read lately are The Jesus I Never Knew by Phillip Yancey, Velvet Elvis by Rob Bell, and Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller. What are you reading? I'd like to know. I'm always looking for a good new book to keep my life growing. Take care.
