Lots of Catching Up

Boy, I'm behind in posting! We had a wonderful Easter at UC First Assembly! 302 people in attendance and a beautiful day for all of our activities. Our daughter, Micaela, was able to come for four days so that was an awesome bonus.

In March, both of our kids had their birthdays. I know some may get tired of hearing about how great I think my kids are, but I can't help it! They are such a blessing to us. They are not perfect but I'm so proud of who they are and how they are serving God.

I had a birthday last week...my last year in my forties! The big 5-0 looms in front of me. It was a nice birthday.

We are preparing for all of our summer events. Promotion Sunday is coming up on May 24. It's an opportunity to celebrate the kids advancing to new areas of ministry - nursery to preschool, preschool to Building 2-52, Building 2-52 to Oasis Student Ministries. We will have a brunch between the two morning services and a short ceremony at that time and also during our 5 PM discipleship classes. It gives parents the time to ask questions, meet the teams, and get info about the new things they and their children can expect.

Mega Sports Camp is scheduled for Sunday - Thursday, June 13-17. Sunday night will be from 5-7 and Monday - Thursday from 6:30-8:30. The camp will offer the choice of basketball, soccer or cheer leading and is for kids entering kindergarten - 6th grade in the fall. There is no cost. Our evening will include a big group time of music, games and a short story followed by individual sports, snack time and a wrap up.

Kid's Camp will be July 14-17 at our AG Camp Jackson near Goodlettsville. Kids entering 3-6 grades this fall are eligible to attend. Cost for the camp is $95 plus spending money. Applications are due April 25 so please contact me asap if you have a child interested in going.
