Laura Portwood and Abby Turnbough were baptized into Jesus Christ on
Thursday evening. This morning we rejoiced as Molly Tyler (daughter of
Dave and Sandra) gave her life to Christ!
What an awesome God we serve!
Because of the Cross,
Mike

Hey gang,
I just wanted to let you know that my family and I will be out of town this week. (Sorry, we’ll miss the picnic on Sunday).
We’re going to go chill out in
If you’re signing up for something (JHDD or VOM Mission Trip), the best way to do that is put your stuff in an envelope and send it to me in the mail or drop it by the office.
When we get back next Saturday night, we will be ready to hit the summer running!
We’ll all need a vacation just to recover from summer!
WE’ve got a lot to do this summer. We’re all going to be coming and going so jump in the schedule when you can! You can go to the Lafayette Church website and get the latest information on calendar details by clicking on “Ministries” then “Teens” OR click on “Calendars” and then “Teens”
Wednesday nights we’ll be doing a lot of interactive things.
Sunday mornings the Sr. High will be studying the book of James with Greg & Dawn Malcolm and the Jr. High will be studying “Life Lessons”, the girls will be with Mandy Johnson and the guys will be with Charles and me!
Several of you have mentioned “I want to do something at my house!” GREAT!!! Look at the teen Calendar (go to www.lafayettechurch.org click on “Calendars” and then “Teens”) and see what’s open…call me or send an e-mail and I will work with you to get something going. (for youth group events PLEASE DO NOT JUST TELL THE OFFICE – communicate with me)
Things to think about when you’re planning something:
Guys and/or girls
Jr. High and/or Senior High
Proximity of other events (even if the DAY is open – is there something else right before or after)
Cost
Chaperones (Adult)
Travel
Promotion
God is doing some really cool things in the lives of our teens here at

We will be processing donations, packing boxes, sorting clothes, Bibles and whatever needs to be done. We will also be learning what people across the world are having to go through to claim their faith in Christ. This is a unique opportunity—we had to be recommended and then apply for acceptance.
