Looking Forward

We have been very busy the last few weeks getting ready to go to LTC in Dallas. Trust me when I say, that there is no such thing as a "Part Time Youth Minister," but we have enjoyed every minute of it. The kids are really excited, we are taking 15 with us this year and its really going to be a fun time for all of us and we are looking forward to going. We leave Friday morning at 6:00am, so be praying for us as we travel. We will perform our Chorus, Puppets and Drama this Wednesday night in front of the congregation. Our chorus is awesome, we are doing some different things with it this year and the kids really sound great. Thanks, to Sharla for all of her help with the puppets, they as well are going to be great. Our drama, is what we are really looking forward to as well, it is awesome, the kids have really worked hard on it, and it is really, really good. The chemistry between the kids can really been seen through it. I really think its the best we have had in a while. Thanks to Elizabeth for helping with the costumes, they are great! It really helps when you have a group that comes together and works together so well with each other like we have this year. Also thanks to Vickie Culwell, for helping put together the scrap book, it looks great and the kids had a great time doing it.
Another thing that we are looking forward to is our new preacher that is coming. "Have you heard about Bruce", Trey? Bruce Baird is going to be our new preacher. Bruce was our Youth Minister several years ago, before going to Alaska to preach. He will be coming home to Central Church of Christ in July of this year and we are so looking forward to his arrival. I believe Bruce will be very good for our church and our community. He is a minister that will help bring all of us together, and I really look forward to that. Also I look forward to working with him as a youth minister, I know that we will be able to do some really great things together through Christ.
So lots of things to look forward to this week and in the months ahead. I feel with Bruce coming to be our preacher, it is like a new beginning for all of us, and I hope that all of you are as excited about it as I am.
So what do you have to look forward to in the next several weeks or months?

I am glad to hear that you guys filled your preacher position. I am praying for the church in Tulia. I believe that God put you and Cheryl where you are at just the right time. I am praying for you both, too.

Matt & Cheryl,
Y'all are doing a great job with our youth. You have been a real blessing to our church and to us. Really enjoyed the kids' LTC presentations Wed. night. I can tell all of you have worked long and hard to prepare for it.
