Last Sunday, a few of us attended an informational meeting on Christ Our Life, a conference that will take place in Des Moines, IA this Fall. It is open to youth and adults alike, and features speakers that have overcome drug and alcohol addiction, imprisonment in a Columbian prison, and even a Cardinal from Rome that lived in a refugee camp for three years and was considered for election to the papacy when Pope John Paul II passed away. Check the bulletin in coming weeks for further information!

I am often drawn to people who’s faith has become stronger, by having overcome hardships and obstacles. The heart of our Christian message is that there is suffering in the world, but we have a God who shares in that suffering with us. I think young people are drawn to this message as well. There is much emotional turmoil and pain involved with adolescence. My hope is to show teens that our’s is a faith which recognizes that suffering, and gives you the power to overcome it.

We had a great time performing the Bible story skits for Vacation Bible School! Thanks to the teens who helped out this year: Jasmine Fugate, Myles Coppes, Barry Schintler, Heath Schintler, Jalen TeBockhorst, and Jake Mayer. Also a special thanks to Diana Haman!

Peace and God's Blessings, Derick Cranston
