What a great weekend we had at lake champion this year! I’m actually really excited to share a little bit about what God did and what we experienced together.
My Book Your Sandwich did the worship for the weekend…what an anointed group of men. thanks a ton guys~
Jason was our speaker this year and challenged us with how we view heaven. Simply stated, it’s “time with God”, and something we get to experience at some level everyday! What a great and challenging thought. It really made me stop and think about how my time with God has been (honestly…it’s been kinda weak and routine) and if I’m really experiencing the fullness that God wants me to. The last couple days have been better, I really feel like I’ve had a chance to sit with Jesus and live through Him and His Spirit instead of trying to do it all myself (which is something I ALWAYS struggle with). I know some of you guys are going through similar things…my encouragement is to just keep going through it with those around you~
Some additional highlights for the weekend: we SCHOOLED Stonecrest in dodgeball (they put up a little bit of a fight…and want a rematch:)), our heros did the zip-line into 20 inches of snow/slush on the lake in shorts and t-shirts, our guys had the annual LHC wrestlefest, and our girls successfully embarrassed themselves to the point where they hid behind a couch (they were shortly pointed out by Melanie:)).
What a great weekend. If you took pics, PLEASE get them to me ASAP so i can put them up on our flickr account~

hey guys!
i just wanted to drop a quick post down to wrap-up a GREAT weekend and set us up for the next weekend…
what a GREAT WEEKEND! Your questions for our missionary Will Dew in Sunday School were amazing. i really hope you all enjoyed that time as much as i did. after church a couple of us went out to cheebuger cheeburger even though John Betchal couldn’t come. shout out to big ben gillespie for killing a 1lb cheeseburger in under 5 minutes and attempting a second 1lb burger in the same sitting. ben…much luv…maybe you’ll get through it next time!
then, more of you guys than i expected came out to serve at the missions banquet. i can’t believe how awesome you guys were…as a matter of fact…neither could a lot of people. they were really blessed by your service.
here’s a little note that Pastor Phil wanted me to send along to everyone!
“You guys are the best! The night of the missionary prayer meeting God used you not only to bless the missionaries but also the church members that attended. I was blessed by the freedom and depth of prayer I heard from my group and I heard the same comment from other groups as well.
I also wanted to thank you for your service at the banquet. You guys are clearly developing a powerful walk with the Lord and He is honored and we are blessed.
Blessings,
Pastor Phil”
And for those of you guys getting ready for our Sr High Metro Retreat…we are leaving from LHC @ 5pm Friday and returning 4pm Sunday. Get ready for a GREAT weekend!
much love guys~
