EPIC

This last week we kicked off our first EPIC for 2008. To be honest before the night it was hard for me to want to go. You see our youth pastor Steve & his wife Erin just moved to Kansas and it has been hard not having them here. It was a quick move and it feels like we didn't really get to say goodbye as we would have liked....
However, Wednesday night was fast approaching and there was much to be done.

Long story short it was a incredible night of God moving in the hearts of unchurched teenagers. We had over 40 kids come & there were many new faces. Was it crazy w/o Steve & Erin, yes. Did we miss them, yes. Did God still do incredible things? YES!! I heard from 3 leaders of deep conversations that had with their students and hearts being open to share some of the hurts they carry. God moved on Wednesday in these kids hearts.

I have been through a lot of change in the past 4 years, having to say lots of goodbyes. However, one thing I have learned is that sometimes God moves others out of the way to raise up new leaders & stretch people's hearts.

My prayer is that we would follow God's leading, he would raise up adult and student leaders & that we would experience parts of him that we never have through this process of change.
