sometime today i'll be hitting the road with some of our jr. highers for hfumc's first jr. high mission trip. we are working with s.o.s. which seems to be a pretty cool group. quite flexible for the ever changes of our situation. being the first trip our jr. highers have been in and out so many times i can't count.
the hope is that this will generate some excitement for our jr. highers to get involved in missions local & short term for years to come. unfortunately there hasn't been stuff for jr. highers in the past, they just had to wait in anticipation to get old enough to go on the mission trip. now known as the sr. high mission trip.
this also begins a long trip away from home. i'll be gone this week, home for a week, but that is vbs week need i say more. then we leave the next saturday for our sr. high mission trip to fumc long beach ms. when i get back i think i'm going to be heading to lake junaluska for sej youth convocation. after that is our youth mystery trip.. i'd share what that is about, but the youth read this blog occassionally, so the mystery remains... when august hits i think i'm home again. blogging may be light, or totally centered around the experiences with the youth.
