BLAST RETREAT ROCKED!

It was a fun weekend with some amazing youth in the hills of North Carolina.  Hickory Cove Bible Camp in Taylorsville was the perfect place to have this year's BLAST.  Youth got to shoot each other with paintball, zip line down a death defying mountain, trust each other to overcome obstacles that most adults wouldn't try or overcome, do smores & roast wieners over the fire. The weather was excellent and the food delicious.  We had a surprise band (FUSE) lead us in our evening worship and youth stepped in to lead our Sunday jam.  It was just what we needed to focus on caring for each other & God and how to AMPLIFY God's love out in this new school year. Praise God!

PRAYER REQUEST!

Harry Brooks Family - Christian love and sympathy are extended to Lee, Melissa, Connor and Victoria Brooks at the death of Lee's dad in New Bern, NC, very early this morning.  Continuing to pray for their family as they complete the funeral arrangements.
