Father and Son - Mother and Daughter Weekend.
Monday, July 28, 2008


This has to be the best weekend of the year. It is certainly the most anticipated. The Father/Son campout was a huge success this year - it was the largest ever! Camp Deer Park may need to build a bigger pavilion if this keeps going. There was a lot of great times, activities and bonding. Pictures of the campout can be seen here, and I blogged about it as well.

The mothers and daughters also had a great time of bonding and fellowship, with an activity night at the church on Friday (including a sleepover) and a day of fun and activities at Seaside Park on Saturday. I'll get some pics up as soon as I get them!

Cell Group July 18
Friday, July 18, 2008

We had another big group tonight. Sister Jill did a teaching for her group about the power of the tongue, using mostly scripture from James. Sister Anita's cell watched a video on Peter and John the Baptist, then celebrated Sister Tanika's birthday!

Remember, no cell on July 25 because of the campouts. If anyone needs information on the Father/Son campout, call Josh Miller through the church, or email me.

Next Cell will be August 2.

Six Flags Trip
Sunday, July 13, 2008


We took a great trip to Six Flags New England on Saturday. Twenty-six people total went (at least that's as many as we brought home!) and had a great time. Some of the Youth Network came with us as well. It was a perfect day for it... sunny and hot.

Note to self: don't sit in the back seat of the Superman coaster anymore!

This is a picture of some of the guys right after we conqured the Superman coaster. Click to bigify... you can still see they look a tad queasy. More pics here.

Cell Group July 11
Friday, July 11, 2008

Tonight we had a larger than usual group, which is awesome. There were seven visitors to Jills 10-12 cell group,


We played Bible Jeopardy with the older kids. Since there were so many we changed the usual rules so that only one person could answer a question with help of one other person. It was close - 5400 to 6200 after Final Jeopardy... our closest game yet.



We're meeting at 9:30 at the church for the Six Flags trip.



Sadly, tonight we said goodbye to Noemily. Her family is moving to south Florida tomorrow. Noemily is like a daughter to me in many ways, and has been my best student for the year I've been doing this. Jill and I will miss her tremendously. Same goes for the rest of the family. There were many tears as the children and youth said goodbye to Noemily and Ruth tonight. I'll put up some pictures in a bit, but here is one of Noemily and Meghann.


Senor te bendiga!

Car Wash a Success!
Sunday, July 6, 2008

The kids did a great job washing cars on Saturday, even with rain threatening. But God was good, the rain held off, and the cars came. The kids washed almost 40 cars, and we met our goal for the day!








Thanks to all the kids who came. They did an amazing job, and kept the energy level and the enthusiam up. We even stayed an hour longer than planned because they wanted to keep going. Even the smallest ones pitched in.



Thanks also to all the others who pitched in: Maureen, Jeannette, Shannon, Lauren, Lauren, Danny, and especially Pastor Miller.

Reminder: there will be cell this Friday night. Details to follow, but we will be on the road by 10am, so plan to be at the church by 9:30.






Also, everyone did a great job these last two weeks ministering at Sunday Worship Service. I know Pastor Chon was blessed seeing the children participate, and will take some of the ideas he saw in action here back to Belize. Special kudos to Josh and Eddie for reading the Word, and Frankie for sharing what happened in Maryland, and Ashley, Meghann, Noemily and Orlando for sharing about Spruce Lake.
