follow-up 8/27

it was an opportunity to have your youth leaders on the spot.

an opportunity to hear what drives their hearts.

and we learned that Lizziey likes chick flicks....and Kurt does not.

thanks for listening to our stories last night. I hope to begin some kind of "personal profile" time when each of you can share something about yourselves, what God is doing in your lives....or simply what makes you happy. I see another sign-up sheet in the not-so-distant future.

Speaking of sign-up sheets.....I'll make phone call reminders on the snack sign-ups....not to worry, we'll have your stomachs covered!

we hope to see you all Friday night at the Battle of the Bands. 6:50.

hey....

I'm thinking we're going to have an awesome year in DiVe......and I'm looking forward to a great time every Wednesday night. Now, to prove I was listening to your comments last night....here they are...in no specific order:
