Just keepin ya updated

I don't have much to write here other than a brief update on what's been going on lately. Firstly, I've started a Wednesday night service that is both Young Life and Trinity Kids. It's called Kaleo, and it's been a bunch of fun! We've had growing numbers each week and the kids seem to really be enjoying it! It's been very encouraging! We do worship, spend some time in groups, have a discussion about something of worth, and then play some games! It's a great night! On the Young Life side of things I now have 3 other leaders which is a huge blessing! We (Greater Salem Young Life) just had our huge fundraising event and it was a blast and a huge success! My background check has finally cleared at Sprague and I have been able to start going to lunches at the high school. I've been to a few football games. And I think I'm starting to get to know kids. The Sunday School class I teach has been great! We are mostly working through our collection of Nooma videos (if you havent heard of Nooma videos they are awesome and you can check them out at http://www.nooma.com/) and we are doing some Christ in Culture discussions every few weeks. Our new Associate Pastor Dawn, and myself have been able to be on the second service worship planning team (second service is our contemporary service) and are getting a voice in reshaping it in some ways. If you haven't picked up on it, I have a lot of plates spinning right now. But I don't think any are looking to fall. On top of all that Aaron Strumpel is coming to Trinity to do a concert on Nov 7th and so I have a lot of planning to do with that, but it's going to be such a good night. We had associate training (My position in Young Life is no longer known as intern but is now known as associate) at Breakaway on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week and that was such a good time with some beautiful weather at the coast (in October, who'd have thought!!). Things are busy, but they're good!
