Growth Groups and VBS and Football, Oh My!

Growth Groups this trimester have been great so far. Last Wednesday wrapped up the first Starting Point group I am teaching. The next class begins July 23rd. Meanwhile, this Wednesday I have the privilege of being the guest speaker in the Foundations of Faith group taught by David McGrinn. David and I have known each other for three years or so and I’m excited to see the Godly growth he has displayed over the last year. He and I have been through a lot and I am blessed to have him as a friend.

I’ve invited the members of the first Starting Point class to join us this Wednesday and that makes me nervous. With David’s class and my class combined, we should have somewhere around 20 people. I’ve never taught in front of that many people before.

Speaking of teaching, Pastor Charles and I hosted our first Hospitality Seminar this past Saturday and it was phenomenal. Charles and I did a tag–team thing where he would speak then I would speak, it was fun. Pastor Phil helped out with some cool, on the fly, graphics. Thanks Pastor Phil!

VBS is beginning at the end of the month. I might be leading a group, providing security or doing check–in but what I’m really excited about is I’ll be performing magic at the opening session every night.

Anyway, July has shown itself to be a busy month so far and it’s only the 15th.

Oh yeah, by the way, the boy’s football season has started too. Practices four times a week. The first game is August 16th – pray for them.

That’s all for now and, no, this post is not from my new iPhone, just in case you were wondering.
