Young Adults

Last night we had a great time getting together w/ a group of young adults in our church. Erin & I have become good friends w/ so many of them & are excited they are taking a more active role in our church. We ate some great hamburgers & hotdogs, spent good time visiting w/ one another, & playing a few games. This was the 1st time we've played games girls vs. guys & we now realize why we haven't done it before.
Congrats the girls for whooping us in MadGab (us guys realized "Hooked on Phonics" didn't work for us). We then played everyone's favorite game: Cranium. The guys had a commanding lead but got stuck at the end & w/ a little bad luck let the girls barely sneak out a win there too. I told Erin on the way home I like playing w/ her on my team b/c I'm smarter when she's on my team! We had so much fun it was the latest we've stayed out since we can remember (our 3rd anniversary is coming this next week, we've become a boring married couple). We got home sometime around 1:00 A.M.
Needless to say, we slept in & relaxed around the house most of the day. We love spending time w/ our friends, but for me the best part is seeing the vision God gave us when he called us here being fulfilled. We set out to establish a base of core young adults & get them plugged in the ministries of the church. Within the last year we have seen many of them step up & get involved. In fact, last night one of the young ladies told me she wanted to teach the preschool Sunday School class that has been w/o a teacher for awhile. Others are involved in our children's minstry, youth ministry, the adult choir, ushers, & more. There were times we felt hopeless getting our young adult ministry going, but God has once again proven himself faithful in His time.
