The kids brought this brochure home from youth this evening. It looks like at least 2/3 of my children are planning to head on a mission trip to Mexico next summer.

The bus that our church uses for youth events and summer day camp is beyond repair. A campaign to replace the bus is underway to raise the funds needed to replace it. People from the congregation were asked to take an envelope with a donation on it and return it to the church to make purchasing a new bus a reality. Each envelop also includes the first name of a camper to pray for and the week they are attending. When all these are taken, the bus will be paid for AND all the campers will have a prayer over them as they attend camp.

I keep seeing my word of the year show up...like today in church:
