[TeenMinistry] (no subject)

Last year’s volleyball tournament was my first large event as the new youth minister here at Lafayette last year. We barely had enough for a team and lost our only two games which left us to just watch the rest of the day. How times have changed! Yesterday we had enough teens for 3 teams. This year, all three of our teams were successful. One of our all-ages teams placed 5th in the all-ages division and our middle school team took home 1st place in their division. More than trophies is the awesome attitude that is blossoming in our teen group! We had a several who went “just to be with the group” – putting into action one of our mottos – “it’s not about the event, it’s about the relationships!” We had teens encouraging each other, bonding together, sharing together, laughing together. Volleyball is event – relationships are the result! God is working in our group – barriers are crumbling, lives are changing, relationships are transforming.

You Guys are Awesome, Mike
