Fall is Almost Here!

Alright, I can here the collective groan of most students with that comment, but the fact is school for most of our students starts next week, and many students have all ready been practicing for soccer (which already has like 6 games in), football, cross country, and volleyball. It seems weird to be going into "kick-off" season when we really did not take any sort of a ministry break this summer. I really had an awesome summer really getting to connect and hangout with our high school students, as well as teach through the Beatitudes in our Happy series. It was also great having Middle Schoolers over at our house all summer, and our Hot August Nights events have been a huge success (both in terms of numbers and the fun we have had). Nonetheless, it is time to return to our somewhat normally scheduled programming. Because of how full the youth room was getting last year, and the record numbers we have seen all summer, we are undergoing our second youth room remodel in as many years. Starting today we will be ripping out cabinets, moving the soda machine and fridge, and taking out the sink. In their place will be an additional two sections of stadium seating. This will allow us to seat 50 in seats and another 15 or so on the floor if needed. With the way our middle school attendance has been this is a very needed change.

If you have students in our ministry you will soon be receiving a packet with all the information you should need for the year, including your group's schedule. Schedules can also be found on this website to the right and on the HRC site. I am so excited about all of the things we have planned for this year. Because of weather and other things that tend to come up we did not post all of the games/activities for this year, except where necessary. We will still have all the fun stuff you know and love, you'll just have to wait tell you get there to discover what is up. I also feel we have some great things planned teaching wise for this fall, and honestly I'm kinda chomping at the bit to get started. So, don't get too depressed about school and we'll see you here real soon.
