Praise!!!! Thank you Father!!! He is consistant, He is faithful, He is our constant, He left us His Comforter!!!
Vertical Connection has been blessed in sooooooooo soooooooo soooooo many ways lately. Blessed with great help for the Rummage Sale fundraiser; blessed financially by the Rummage Sale; blessed with the Holy Spirit working on the hearts of the Teens to remind them of what is important (PTL!!!); blessed with a gift of a donation of 2 loads of sand delivered for FREE for the new volleyball court; and blessed with each other for support. The Lord is so incredible with the way He PROVIDES. Really, truly, it is a matter of surrendering to Him and saying- "ok, here I am. You created me for something. Go ahead use me for Your will". And he PROVIDES. He gives you things in abundance, when you are doing His work. Sometimes Todd and I just stand in awe at what He does for us. Shake our heads, giggling, praising Him awe!!!

2 Corinthians9:8 And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others.

Bowling

By popular demand- we did a Bowling nite again!!! About 25 of us piled into vehicles (thanks to the Adams for the use of their van!) and to Maggie K for driving (Ewww..ewww...eww--windshield washing!)

We found out that some are GREAT bowlers.............and some...well, better luck next time.

Do I???

Where did the month of March go to???? Let alone why is 2008 going at such a faaaaaasssssssssssstttttttttttt pace. Makes you stop and think: JUST HOW MUCH TIME DO I DEVOTE TO GOD????? Do I take time to get into His Word? Do I take time to share with others just what He does in my life? Do I take time to serve Him, not serve myself, but HIM!???? Do I take time to pray everyday, every waking moment, with every breath? Do I take time to give Praise for all the changes He has blessed me with? Do I take time to say "Halleliah! Thank you Jesus"? Do I take time.............(you can fill in the blank)...........

So as the year quickly moves on, we prepare for Kingdom Bound 2008. Still many fun events are planned till August--so even if you won't be joining us for KB '08, still join us for the fun and fellowship.

Heavenly Father, I thank you for this special friend who is reading this blog right now. Father, I pray that you bless this person so fully that they feel Your Love. Father, I pray that this person is a Light of Your Power and they Joyfully go forward with their day. In the precious name of Jesus I pray. Amen

Mr and Mrs L

The Lefebvre's say "hey all!!!"

Teen meeting with Damon G. speaking

We were blessed on Friday, Feb 8th with guest speaker Damon Gagnier. Damon taught from the book of Luke and held a captive audience with his stories of "everyday miracles", his conversations with his athiest co-worker, Bible history, how exponentially impossible evolution is, and so much more. He also explained with a water/ice/steam example the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. We are excited to have Damon speak to the Teen Group again in the future!!! THANK YOU DAMON!!!

We also learned alot about one another with a few games of ALL IN THE FAMILY. We learned that Kevin's favorite movie is Pride and Prejudice (LOL) and that Christina has a fear of Aliens that aren't Christians (but if they are Christian Aliens--she's ok). An awesome nite. Praise God for these evenings!!!

How fun was that nite!!! Three host homes (The Pfohl's, the Jabbours, and the Valletta's) opened their doors to 23 Teens + us and 2 drivers. It was a great time of fellowship and laughs.

Man Bear turns 16

On Wednesday nites, we meet at the Parsonage of the church. We take this time to study His Word, to chat about life, to join in fellowship.

This past Wednesday was a great time of fellowship--we celebrated JRapps 16th birthday!!! His mom and dad brought meatball subs, chips, and cake. We had a lot of laughs. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHNNY!!!!

As we ate we thought of questions to ask our host homes for this Saturday's Progressive Dinner. Question freely flowed like: "When did you come to know the Lord?"; "How old were you?"; "Have you ever led anyone to Christ?" Great, great questions.

We love our Teen Sheep!!!
