The students at our church look forward to starting a new school year in the days ahead. In celebration of their last week of summer before having to pull out their notebooks and pencils, the Elementary kids gathered together for some fun crafts, games, stories, songs, and pizza.
Our Middle and High Schoolers celebrated with a car wash and a pool party.
(Their car wash helped raise over $400 to help with funds for the National Youth Gathering that is coming up in 2009.)
Finally, to top it all off, the students, bus drivers, teachers, cafeteria workers and administrators at our church came forward for a book bag blessing on Sunday as they prepared to go out and share God's love with others during the 2008-2009 school year. Look out, world! Here we come!
We not only ate hotdogs, hamburgers, salads, and desserts, we also took time out to play some games, swim, and share a time of fellowhship together.

In these next few months, our congregation will be partnering with Lutheran Famiy Serivces in the Carolinas to provide a support group for soldiers who have returned from service overseas. Let's continue to pray for our troops both abroad and at home.
