Boat Races Today

They are running the colligate crew races today over at Redwood Shores. Had fun hanging out over at the Peckhams to watch the starts and eat yummy muffins. Then I headed over to end of the races by Oracle. I've never been to an actual crew event before.

Teaching Through the Bible

If you are a reader of this blog you know that this year our youth ministry took up a huge challenge to teach through the whole bible and to weave God's plan for redemption through each lesson. I have to say, this has been the most challenging teaching series I have ever tackled. Thanks be to God I took a survey through the Old Testament with Dr. Van Gemeren at Trinity! (Thank you for imparting your wisdom and knowledge Dr. V.) If I hadn't taken that class, our series would just be a glimps at major characters of the Bible and typical Bible stories. I just finished up my talk on Jeremiah and can't wait to talk about the New Covenant in Jeremiah 31 and I'm hoping to get me hands on a pottery wheel and someone who works with pottery.

Clean Out The Office Day

Today is clean out the office day to get ready for summer! Now that Easter is over it's time to get to all those files and clean stuff out to make room for summer fun and summer interns. So I'm sure I'll be up to my neck in paperwork and shredding! Woo Hoo!

Top 3 for Dancing With The Stars

If you read this blog you know I'm a huge Dancing With the Stars fan. So here are my final 3: I think it's going to be between Mario, Jason Taylor and my hometown, Fremont girl, Kristi Yamaguchi. I think Kristi is going to take it all!

The're Off!

The morning after Easter is always a tough one, but I was excited to get up at the butt-crack of dawn to wish our high school students and leaders off! They are headed down to LA this morning to serve with the Center for Student Missions. Keep Ben, Bethany, Paul, Stephen, Zack, Lesya,Casey, Becca, Emma, Michael, Daniel and Micaela in your prayers.

Easter @ CPC Charter Sqaure

All I have to say is WOW. Charter was packed both services! I thought we had incredible services! Special thanks to all of you who volunteered to make things happen and special kudos to Steve Toler, our guru of everything tech! My favorite part of our gathering: jr. highers, high schoolers, 20 somethings, middle-age and seniors ALL worshipping together! I'll post more pics later!
