Go Bucks 2005!


The Adam's hosted the Ohio State Buckeye vs. Michigan victory party this year. With the opening rival kick-off arriving at 1:00 of the P.M., the teens piled into the house around 12:30. Pizza and Kool-Aid were consumed heavily while the Bucks fans (along with a few diehard Michigan lovers) watched the satisfying first half of the game. The living room atmosphere was equiped with chitter-chatter, focused eyes, and a whole lot of "No!!"s and "Whoo!"s. The fellowship was awesome.

Halftime was a time of seriousness for all of the routy football lovers. Bobby K. lead the devotion on what it means to be on the winning team. OSU/UM analogies helped relate the devotions with the game. Soon after, a game of football (to some extent) started in the yard.

Come the second half, the living room was packed again with the television spectators. It was an "emotional rollercoaster" as Michigan pulled ahead of the Bucks, but we finally came back with about 2 minutes on the clock. Hooping and hollering filled the room with the final "4, 3, 2, 1" of the clock. Unfortunatly, not all of us could be happy with the outcome...

Fall Retreat '05

The Fall Retreat at Camp Burton was a great success. 14 teens came and had a great time. There were free times with sports of all kinds in the gym, personal devotions, group activities and discussions, inspiring worship music, and devotions. We learned:
  • What it means to know the leader (personal saving relationship with Christ)
  • How to follow the leader
  • How to be a leader for Christ
  • How to serve with the spiritual gifts God gives each believer

I hope we are taking up our crosses daily, and following Him -- Luke 9:23.

Hey, leave a comment telling what you liked best about the retreat. And Beth, you were snapping pictures all weekend ... let's see some of them!
