Junior High Myspace

So I decided that one of the best ways to connect with students in ministry and have them feel more connected is to have a myspace. I know that there are parents and people out there that don't like the idea of a church using myspace, but the reality is that I believe we're missing out on a valuable ministry tool if we don't

All that to say that CRASH, the SVCC Junior High Ministry now has a myspace. Anyways, enjoy.

Savage Summer Session Beach Trip

Well, we had our first Savage Summer Sessions beach trip last night. We had 25 students go to Manresa for a beautiful evening at the beach. Sam did a great job lead our study in James 1 about how trials in our life strengthen us for later. We broke up into groups on the beach and discussed the concept. We ended the night with a fire and smoreos. It was a great beginning to our summer program.

So I've come to the conclusion that the only way that I'm going to be able to afford and iPod is if it comes outside of my normal budget, so I'm collecting cans and bottles and using the money to buy an iPod. My goal is $200 by the end of the summer. I don't know if I'll meet my goal by the end of summer, but I really hope I do.

So if anyone wants to donate their cans and bottles to the Steve wants an iPod fund, email me and I'll come pick them up from you.

Playing Catch Up

Hey everyone,

This is my catch up post. It's been a crazy summer already. It started off with a JH missions trip to inner city LA, then an 8th grade grad trip to Magic Mountain, fireworks on the 4th of July, watching Transformers, Fantastic 4, a college beach trip and looking towards Savage Summer Sessions (our summer events/bible study program) and of course Hume Lake. Oh yeah, there's a college camping trip next weekend and college Hume the first week in September.

Man what a busy time. In other news, Heather signed her contract to teach full time with at Brownell Middle School here in Gilroy. She's going to teach 6th grade Language Arts & Social Studies.

Anyways, that's a quick update, see you all later.
