Yosemite 09

So a group led by Randy Baldwin and Neena were brave enough to hike half dome in Yosemite this past weekend. I heard it took about 12 hours round trip to get to the top and then back down again. If you look closely at one of the pictures below, there is a trail of people making their way up to the very top of half dome. But they are so small it looks like a line of ants on a ant hill. Good job guys! Climbing half dome is never something I will be able to say I did in my lifetime. =)

Sunday Sunday!

We had a fun Sunday! Our morning worship was great. Phil and Sarah and "the band" are just doing awesome. We are so grateful for them all. We wished Aimee a Happy Birthday with a big sign and group photo that we emailed to her. And then we headed to the Pelz's House for some AMAZING TACOS!! Thank you Randy and Terry and David! It was a great day!

Beach Camping!

Beach Camping was amazing and such a blast! We played beach volleyball, ultimate beach frisbe, played Bible jeopardy, sang songs while making smores, sat in the sauna, and listened to reggae music in the parking lot while making tacos and burritos. The landscape was gorgeous. The weather was cold. And God gave us a great weekend!

Girls Just Want to Have Fun!

I don't know about you guys, but the ladies are having FUNNNN!! So far we've painted ourselves with henna, gone to a rivercats game, and we're looking forward to our photo-shoot and night out at Chevy's this Friday. More picts to come!!

With the end of Adversarial April comes the victorious winners. . .THE GUYS! Though they were trailing the leading girls in the last three weeks, they came back and won the extensive relay race last night by 200 points and 10 feet. The girls started off leading the race but then the guys took a huge leap ahead. Finally in the end it came down to Lauren and Aaron Hight crab walking on the grass to the finish line. The girls by far had the most spirit and the most new friends join us, but alas, it is their fate to feed the opposite sex a Nice meal on a date to be determined! Good job guys! I really thought the girls had it this year. It was a close one!

Winter Retreat 09!

Our winter weekend at Sierra Pines was so much fun. These pictures are only a glimpse of our weekend. Once I get more photos that other people took on their cameras I'll add another slide show, maybe even a video of some super fun sled runs! God definitely blessed our time there. We had good heart to heart moments, hilarious skits, worship, games, Godly challenges, and Snow, Snow, Snow! If you missed out this year, join us next year, it's going to be even better!

Service Sunday a Huge WOW

The S.S.S. (Surprise Service Sunday) for February was so much fun. We had a great turn-out despite the rain, and all I can say is WOW! =) The W.O.W. ministry is a wonderful one that reaches out to local disabled people in our community. Every other weekend these young people along with volunteers gather to encourage each other and play games together. It truly is so much fun, and if you haven't checked it out-do so! You'll be glad you did.
