Missions
what an awesome sunday together doing ministry. we all (31 of us) drove 2 hrs down to crossbridge community church in swedesboro, nj to help out with their trunk or treat event.
we all met in the cafe @ LHC, had some pizza, then hit the road. when we arrived at kingsway regional highschool (where CCC does church) we pulled into our spots and our crew, fully decked out in costumes that were amazing, unloaded and started decorating our trunks for the kids. both the students and trunks were AWESOME!!
we had four vehicles, so we made 5 trunks and a face painting station! (someone we parked next to didn’t do a trunk, so we made on on the bed of their truck…only to realize they weren’t with the event!!) there must’ve been a couple hundred kids and parents there to participate in this event. 
as a youth pastor, i can’t tell you how proud i was of our group. they went above and beyond the call of service to help these kids have a good day. two of our students (trent & sean) even dressed up like a cow and chicken (FULL COSTUME!) and sat in the back of the van willingly being targets for dodgeballs. if they got hit, kids received praise and candy! great for kids, not so much for the chicken cow:)
when all was said and done, we helped the church reach out a ton to their community and let people know that this was a church that cared about them like Jesus did.
then on the way home, we all painted (for those who can’t grow them yet;)) mustaches on our faces and raided BK in style. great ending to wonderful day of ministry.

everyone who’s participating in the has already begun to feel the starts of hunger and it’s effects. i’ve already gotten calls about sickness, headaches, and all that fun stuff.
i’m in the headache world right now, but i’m so excited about what God has in store for us~
keep posted for lots of updates and pics~

last week was missions week…and here are some of the youth highlight just in case you missed out (if you did…BOY DID you miss out!)
PBbk - Missionary Prayer Time
after a quick lesson in Matthew 28, we ate some pizza and went over to the sanctuary to join up with the adults to pray for some of our missionaries. we broke up into groups of 3-5 and surrounded the missionaries like we were ready to attack!! all i heard was AMAZING comments from the missionaries i talked to about your prayers for them. they were so encouraged and blessed by you guys~
Bible Study - Will Dew on the Spot
sunday morning we had an opportunity to put one of our missionaries, WILL DEW, on the hot seat. your questions to him about his life and ministry were great! i like the crying question, the prayer question, and the abortion question. way to make him sweat everyone :o)
Missions Banquet - Time to Serve!
sunday night about 20 of you volunteered to help serve at the missions banquet. what a great way to serve the church. you did really well, i heard mostly good things ;)
all in all, i’m so proud of everyone. you did a GREAT job this week…thank you sooo much!

wheww….
What a crazy couple of weeks!! LIFE 2007, JHC, and the VBS Missions Trip…all in the month of July!
LIFE was amazing~
JHC-TV was crazy awesome!! (look for the videos in the video section soon:) and DVD’s are coming!!)
VBS Missions Trip was fruitful. We were able to help Cross Bridge Community Church pull off its VBS for the community and also helped to jump start their youth ministry with their new youth pastor/worship pastor Josh.
But the good news is the craziness is over…unfortunately so is the summer:( but we do still have some sweet times of community together! Walking with Jesus tomorrow…combined laser tag thursday…and walking with Jesus again next Wednesday!
See you all tomorrow!!
