Hey, gang!  Today is going to be a good day.  I’m a little sore from rafting, a little tired from a hectic summer of keeping up with all of you!  Love, ya!  I’m also extremely encouraged about what God is doing in this youth group.  This summer I’ve observed how you work to serve others, whether in Ahoski, McLean, Va. or in Knoxville, Tn.  Not only those places, you work in your community!  That is exciting to me and it is exciting to God.

I’ve also seen you grow spiritually.  Don’t think you have?  Trust me, you have.  It is through our work, our worship, our prayer life and the careful study of the Bible that we grow in our relationship with the Creator of the universe.  And you have all done that this year.

I wish to encourage you to end the summer strong because we have some momentum going into all the exciting things planned for fall.  Fall Retreat!  Wednesday and Sunday nights!  Ski Retreats!  Gatlinburg!

It’s going to be fun.

Awesomeness Abounding!

Lee
