We have been having a lot of “events” as the Rock in the past couple of weeks. It’s the fall kickoff and that seems to be what we do.

We’ve had a freshmen picnic for all the new freshmen that we’ve been meeting. About 70+ people showed up, some of them were Rockers bringing people but many of them were first year students.

We had a broomball tournament and about 80 people showed up to smack a ball around on the ice for 3 hours. It was a lot of fun and people had great conversations off the ice around the nacho cheese stand. 🙂

We also integrated with the community part of the church for a picnic after the church service on Sunday that brought 120 people. Many new students came along for that as well and built relationships with the whole church.

Now tomorrow we’re having a karaoke night at Zeke’s (our building close to campus). Should be a painfully fun time as students try out their vocal “skilz”.

Lots of events.

But it’s not about the events. It’s about the people and who God is to these people. We love because he first loved us and through these events we’re loving people. Lots of people. That’s what makes it an exciting time of year!

Until next week then. 🙂

And this is his commandment, that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us. – 1st John 3:23

Coming up with a verse for a semester is always a fun challenge. It’s got to be something interesting and enduring with a lot of scope and application. This fall we’ll be talking about God’s will for your life at our House Churches.

In my opinion the biggest piece of the puzzle of God’s will for your life is faith. It touches every other area. We must believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ. If that is seen with it’s proper level of authority in our life then the rest of the decisions start to get easier.

I need some sort of tagline to end each post… any ideas?

Wow! Our TINY Summer was great! It’s now in the books and we’re clear to start looking down the road at what’s next.

Oh, and school starts in 18 days!?

We’ve got a lot of work to do to get our Move In Crew, Broomball, BBQ’s, Bible Studies and everything else in line.

In fact that’s all I’ve got time for now. I’ll check back in next week!

Didn’t think that I’d let you go without giving you baby updated did you?

We had an ultrasound today! Theo is going to have a baby brother! 🙂
