  • Last Night was Great

    Last night in Light Force we had our 3rd worship night. And they just keep getting better. The first two I was really self-conscious about who was and wasn’t there. (Easy to do when only a couple people show up!) This one I was just focused on making it a great night.  We had a…

  • So, ready for coffee?

    In the coming weeks I’ve cleared my schedule a lot so that I can concentrate on two things more than I have in the recent past. Spend time with parents of Light Force students. Spend time with Light Force students, with a purpose. So here’s the deal. If you are a student or a parent…

  • Youth Ministry is Dangerous for My Kids, part 2

    Several months ago I wrote how sometimes my kids get hurt as a result of being around “big kids” in youth group. Last time, there was a student who was playing with Paul and decided it would be fun to help him do a flip. Well, when his head hit the tile and the tears…

  • A solid beta test

    You know, I should feel like tonight didn’t go well because only 4 students came to our worship night. But I can’t feel bad because it was a great run through and I got a glimpse of better things to come. We had a fun game, solid worship, something experiential, a good talk, and a…

  • Kidnap a Gnome Details

    This is the message that just went out to the Light Force list about tonight’s "Kidnap a Gnome" night. I’ve gotten so many questions about this event on Facebook and AIM that I’ll be bundling it all together and releasing it this week on Monday Exchange. I’ve gotten a number of detail requests about this…

  • Kidnap a Gnome This Saturday

    Kidnap a Gnome promo, originally uploaded by mclanea. This is in a couple of nights and I’m geeked about it. I’ve been doing this about 10 years and I’ve learned that sometimes the simplest events are the most fun. I hope that’s the case here.

  • See You at the Pole

    Today is "See You at the Pole" all around the country and as I write this thousands of parents, students, and school employees all around the country are lifting up their schools to the Lord. I was over at Romeo Middle School… for about 10 minutes. Unlike other SYATP’s I’ve been to, this one was…

  • No Light Force tonight

    I will readily admit that it does feel a little weird. Tonight, there is no Light Force. Not by accident… but on purpose. Starting next week there will be 3 in-home small groups for teaching and reaching students here in Romeo. That means that the Light Force room… in use for 30+ years… will lie…

  • Back to School Success

    Below is an article I wrote for this month’s Romeo Peach. Normally I wouldn’t pre-release an article like this but since we had printing issues and it related to the start of school… here’s a taste test. (This is article #2, I’ll up article #1 after the release of the Peach. September means one thing…
