Summer Time!

Hello everyone,
We are finally back in the groove at revolution. We had a wonderful time last night. We started out watching the centrifuge video, wow we had a great time. We all came together for worship time. We had someone playing the jimba, shaker, and the tamborine. I played guitar the best i could and everyone sang songs to our Lord. We had a great time. Bible study was good, we talked about Jesus healing the paralytic, and how the first thing Jesus noticed about this man was his heart. Jesus knew his first need was to be forgiven. As is our need. And only Jesus can forgive us of our sins and heal us. It was a great night all round. I am looking forward to next week. It seems like our group is growing closer and closer to each other and unity is being shown throughout. God is working and we are not just going to be called a revolution, we will be a revolution.

Be looking on this blog for dates of upcoming events. I will be posting very soon. And always remember to be praying for this group, our church, and our pastor. Love you all.

Mike

Centrifuge


WOW,
What a week we had at Centrifuge. The trip down was long and hard to handle but after arriving we had so much fun. The first night at dinner we learned a lesson about the food. VERY BAD! So I constructed a plan for every meal except breakfast, GO OUT AN EAT. Another set back for us was having to room with other church's. But, after meeting everyone that turned out to be ok. The first night worship rally was amazing. The band was very good and lead us to the throne of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We had a wonderful time during all the worship services. The next thing was the games. WOW, they had all kinds of crazy games to play. Everyone was assigned a country with their own flag, that was made up of different students from different youth groups. It was really cool. BIBLE STUDY!!!!!! Bible study was amazing. We learned about the parables that Jesus taught. It was very good stuff and we all opened our hearts to God's word and we are going to apply it to our lives. Prayer time was huge for our church group. I love the fact that our two campus' came together as ONE church body and prayed with one another. I also observed each student encourage one another and cheered each other on. It was a great time for Unity within our group. Beach time was awesome! We had a great time overall at Centrifuge Panama City Beach location. But, I believe I speak for everyone when I say I can't wait to get back to Union Tenneessee for Centrifuge. This was my first Centrifuge as a youth leader and I have to say that God did mighty things through this ministry, with each student and myself. God is amazing. He is awesome. He is our God. We love Him, and we will serve Him the best we can. To God be the glory forever, Amen.
