Second of all, I am back from a really long and much needed hiatus. I will be here in the blog kingdom for a while.
Third of all, my little girl, Jenniva, celebrated her 2 birthday this past Monday!! I can't believe she is 2 already. Time flies.
Last of all, I want to tell you about the amazing horizon I see before us at Northside. With the new year came some evaluation and newly implemented ideas and programs.
- This past Sunday morning, Adrienne LaSage became our newest member of God's family. No better way to start out the year!!
- This past Sunday evening, I had my first devotional with the 3-6 grades. 24 showed up to learn more about God and have fun in the process. And they are bringing there friends next time.
- Meat Eaters has moved to Tuesday nights. We had 18 teens show up tonight to give encouragement to Mike K who is at home resting in bed after full knee replacement on the 29th of December. We also traveled to the funeral home to comfort Doug, Marilyn, Adrienne, Janice and Billie Wilson on the passing of Doyle Wilson.
- Wednesday evenings at 6 we will be meeting in the outreach building to learn new songs. This can continue indefinitely.
- The Youth Loft is so close to finished I can taste it. I will give you some new pics soon. The Christmas CD Project has yielded more than we dreamed. Donations have exceeded the $2,500 mark!!!
- We have split our Sunday mornings to 7-9/10-12 for the Winter quarter and will be splitting them Male/Female in the Spring to address different needs.
- The Youth Committee is transitioning out the former members and ushering in some new blood.
- All the while, we are living LIFE IN THE VINE FOR 2009! That is our theme this year and we are going to cultivate the Fruit of the Spirit.
