Youth Rally & Sweet Lorraines

Well, yesterday I attended my 6th bi-annual AYNet youth rally. We had about 60 youth attending, toughing it out on a rainy, chilly October Sabbath. The day began with registration and then they broke into small groups for Sabbath school study...



We actually had the privilege to have THREE guest speakers! And the best part was they were all youth. 2 of them were from the Warren church and the other from ARISE in Troy. They all spoke about identity and who we are in Christ...



Then after a yummy lunch of haystacks...we headed out for outreach. There were some that wrote letters to service men, some doing door-to-door and then some visiting shut-ins, which is what my group did. We had an awesome group of about 13 people visit a member of the Livingston church and I think we sang possibly ALL the songs from "He is our song"!! We sang so many songs...but they loved hearing us. You could tell we really made their day, just by having a group of young people visiting. We also sang Happy Birthday to a lady turning 93 in the nursing home :) She was so sweet. Here's a picture of Brianna driving us back to the church...JUST KIDDING :)

After the evening program and dinner, we had gym night...
Volleyball, basketball, dodgeball, and of course, Bible Twister :) hahah "Right foot, Red sea"....

It was an awesome day for all...God blessed and I believe we were all encouraged to find our identity in CHRIST.

After a short night of sleep, we work up early this morning to attend a special women's ministry breakfast with the ladies from the South Lyon church. We went to Sweet Lorraine's in Livonia and boy was it yummy!!! Fresh made waffles and omletts and all the rest...


Mary and I could hardly climb out of bed this morning to make it there. We almost skipped out, but we sure would have missed out!!


After that breakfast, I'm wondering if this saying is true. Hahahha


After a great weekend, I am EXHAUSTED!! Here it is, 7:15 and I'm ready for bed!! So, goodnight to all!
