rise 'n' shine was here

hello all! this is stephanie, courney's intern, updating today. this is me in case any of you don't know me (very likely).

i came to work here in august and decided to stay for the year, which has been amazing so far. it's really great getting to know the people who work here and learning all that goes on. ummm...ya, that's about all about me that i can think of now, so on to rise 'n' shine!

so about a week and a half ago was rise 'n' shine which was a lot of fun. the games and activites were fun and the food (as usual) was amazing. we had a wonderful game of snug 'n' snog, the climbing wall, trail rides, wagon rides, skating, taboggoning, and we can't forget the game of mission impossible. that was a blast! the coffee house was a good time just to relax and hang out with friends, both old and new. and the games at the coffee house, very fun. i love chubby bunny :).

nathan arkell was the speaker and he did an awesome job. i don't know about you guys, but i learned a lot. the best part was the acronym he showed us on the last day to remind us about what he talked about. it was Acknowlege (God as your Lord in everything), Commit (your ways to Him), and Trust (God). cool, eh?

the band was the Herbs (silent H) from Gem and they did an incredible job leading worship for us. they were great in leading songs that we knew and new ones that we didn't and even listened if someone had a request. sweet!!!!

well that's the news for now, check back for more info on what's coming up and have a great day!! Ttfn!
