The final push
Tonight is session 6 of 3 Story Life. (Our churches adult small group spin on YFC’s 3 Story) In a lot of ways it has been fun doing this re-write, but in a lot of other ways, it has been really hard. It’s been fun to not just critique the curriculum, but to really spend…

Talk notes updated
Since I was reminded by someone that I was a wee bit behind. I’ve updated all the talk notes over on the Light Force site. There is always a link here on the left side, now it’s all updated. Thanks for the reminder.

Light Force doesn’t do retreats?
Back a several weeks ago I had lunch with Jason Raitz. It seems like in this conversation we talked about 100 things. Last week I saw him again at the Detroit Metro Youth Workers lunch, I really like him. He’s a cool guy with a great heart for students. So, here is a part of…

I am ready now!

It’s a flock of sheep!
Last night at Light Force it made the girls giggle that I kept refering to a group of sheep as a flock and not a herd. As Dave pointed out later, "They do call the person who works with sheep a ShepHERD and not a ShepFLOCK. Upon further review, a group of sheep is often…

A big step up for Romeo
To some this will seem like no big deal, but to others what we did today is a massive thing. Just a few hours ago I put together a purchase order to replace our church pews with the chair pictured to the left. This isn’t something that we did flippantly, but I recognize that it…

Time to get connected
3 Story groups have now spent 3 weeks discovering God’s Story, My Story, and Their Story. Now we are turning the corner and starting the connection process. I am very much looking forward to this. I know to this point we’ve poised more questions than answers, from here on out it should be about light…
