So What’s New?
Posted by Melinda | Filed under Uncategorized
Last night our small group was nearly nil so Dougie and I decided to just go grab some grub. First off - should I start to get worried about this economy thing? I had to pass up two of my regular gas stations last night because they had none. Ended up gasing up in Durham…but ran into one of our on-fire youth so maybe God wanted that. The youth make me happy. So happy in fact - that even if I’m having a crappy day at work (like yesterday) - thinking of our youth ministry can settle it for me.
Anyway, Dougie, Taira and I headed to Golden China on North Point Drive. I love that place at lunch because they have a signature lunch where you can combine a Japanese entre wtih a Chinese entre. So I can get sushi and general tsao’s chicken all at the same time and at a pretty decent price. YUM! But last night I went for four seasons. Lunch is usually more than plentiful and serves as dinner and sometimes breakfast because of all the food they give you. Well dinner…was no different! “Can I get a To Go box…please?”
After dinner we went and spent probably about an hour just hanging out in World Market. I LOVE just browsing around in that place. There’s some pretty neat stuff in there. You can go buy somebody something and swear you got it for them in another country. HA HA! I did, however, see the biggest Sugar Daddy ever and I LOVE Sugar Daddies. And we also made some entertaining videos. Spend some time in the youth room and you might get to see them. LOL! Did you know there’s a possessed toilet in World Market? Don’t believe me? Go see for yourself. Second stall on the right! Nuff said. Anyway, after lots of laughs and no money spent (yay us!) before we knew it it was time for them to close so we had to git to gittin. Spent some time with some fire and then some candles and then off to sleep I went.
Went to the school of one of our youth to have lunch today. Taco Bell beat cafeteria food hands down. And now…they are going to serve and help out Saturday so it pays off.
This weekend is rolling up fast. NHC incorporates Saturday evening service this week. So all hands will be on deck to make it exciting and successful. (Where will YOU be? If you have been waiting to serve…now is your chance!) And even more so I am looking forward to Spiked service at 11:30AM. That means that after hanging out with the coolest youth in town (yeah and some adults, too)…I get to go home and have a full half of a day to do with as I please. Most likely though…I will spend it working on something. LOL! But in reality - I’m looking forward to a Spiked Student Ministry Explosion as a result of the big move. Stay tuned. And to all of our volunteers and leaders who may be stressing out just a leeeetle bit about the big weekend….relax! God’s got this!
I’m babysitting some headwear this week of a fellow NHC’er. I’m having quite a bit of fun sending daily pictures of a certain someone’s hat in different locations doing different things. The owner of the headwear thinks I’m crazy…but I think I’m quite amusing if I do say so myself.
Teen small group tonight. Pray for our kids and group leaders. Holla! Mel
LOVE YA!!...
