As of last week, all of our ministries have officially started! XLR8 (our afternoon children's program) started up and went really well for our first week back. We made these really neat T-shirts for the kids and they loved them! The first day was just a "get to know you" day and this week we will start getting into our lessons. We will be studying Heroes of the Bible and looking at different Bible characters who trusted God despite some crazy circumstances!

As I mentioned before, our church is now a training center for people to take Christian ministries classes. Sean and I decided to audit a class called Theology and Practice of Worship. The class will meet for 8 weeks on Saturday mornings. This past Saturday was our first class and we loved it!! There are 13 people in the class altogether, 11 of which are from our church. Our young adult Bible study is also doing one of the classes called Personal Discipleship. We are not auditing this one, but we sit in on all of the meetings. Our church is so hungry to learn more about God and it is neat to see so many people involved in these studies!
Youth is going really well. We've had quite a few new kids coming and the last 2 weeks have been awesome! Here is a link to our youth video from last week. Our theme was "Breaking the Ice" and we did all initiative games. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vBDBBAznY60&feature=youtu.be
Yesterday, we also kicked off our night services. We put the services on hold over the holidays. Previously the services were held twice a month, but next month we will start having them every Sunday night. The service is a bit more contemporary than the morning service and is a more laid-back feel. Usually someone gives a testimony, then another person gives a message. It was a great first night back last week and we are really looking forward to what God has in store for us this year :)
