SPLAT!

I feel shame. Our guys are obviously afraid of the girls. For the first time in ten years the girls have been invited to play paintball with the boys and only a few of our young "men" have bothered to sign up. Guys, I implore you- sign up and pay by Wednesday and redeem what little bit of dignity you have left before the ladies take that away Saturday at the Gotcha Paint Ball course! It only takes $40 to SAVE THE MALES.

Do Hard Things. Done.

I issued a dare and the students of Mount Vernon Baptist Church accepted. Great job CrossQuest Students! In two days you knocked on 312 doors and shared the Good News of Jesus Christ with two communities. Thank you for faithfully attending the training sessions, helping with the block party, and being a blessing to us as adult leaders. I hope you enjoyed the challenges of the high ropes course and the significance of the Dead Sea Scrolls exhibit. NOW THE REAL CHALLENGE BEGINS. Doing Spiritually Hard Things. I am sure you will take this challenge even more seriously than the high ropes course. You have your list, now go Do Hard Things for Christ. 2 Timothy 2:1
