2009 IS GOING TO ROCK AT HTH!!!

Hiya Guys and Gals!

I want to ask any and all who are reading this to quickly join me in prayer right where you're sitting! Let us pray specifically for our youth ministry to be a life-changing, welcoming, Christ-driven place to be in 2009!
Let us pray that our core group gets stronger...our visitors become members of our crew...and that Jesus's love overflows through us, his friends and followers.
I, personally, am very excited about this year! Not just for the cool events we have lined up (which I will list below and also put on the calendar), but just the opportunity to be around you guys. You're such a great group of kids and love hanging out with you and being a part of your life right now.
To our leaders and older crew members: I'm challenging you with the great responsibility in being an important influence in our students lives. Stay in prayer about God working through you!
To our younger crew memebers: It's so awesome that so many of you are the same age. It's awesome because strength comes in numbers! Be loyal to eachother, look past small differences and personalities, and you will have true friends that you can rely upon in the upcoming years. And please...please....remember if only one thing.........JESUS LOVES YOU NO MATTER WHAT!!!
...and so will I.

Call me if anything,
Jeff

Absolutely! May God make this the best year ever for the students of Crossroads Church. I hope you guys will see just how much God loves you and wants you to be involved in His work among people here where we live and work and go to school. Let me know if there is ever anything that I can do for the students of CR.

Jeff, Can you post some information about the boys campout this weekend? Ryan may not be able to make it Thursday night but he's excited about this weekend.

Thanks!
