Stained

Hello Everyone,

We are full STEAM ahead here at the Creek. We arrived here safe and sound Sunday afternoon. Moments after getting off the buses we quickly realized that we were going to desperately need two things, deodorant and cold water. IT IS HOT!! Despite the heat, we are having a blast and these students are amazing.

This weeks theme is "Washed." We are talking about how we are washed clean by the Grace of God. How we are all filthy and in need of a good washing. The first day's main idea was how we are all STAINED. We talked about how our sin has left a stain on us and we are incapable of getting it off no matter how much we scrub, no matter what we use, we are not able. But, luckily we have a God who is.

Our first day was also packed full of bible studies, worship, lake sports, eating, sweating to death, and intense hang out and bonding with one another. Don't worry, the Holy Spirit is already moving and God has already done BIG things. Lives are being changed and our youth (and adults) are getting serious about listening to God and, as our wonderful Youth Pastor so beautifully put it, "Doing what we know we need to do."

We are pumped about what the Lord is going to do this week in the lives of your students and our faithful adult leaders. We are believing in FAITH that God has more in store for this week than we could possibly have asked for. Please keep us in your prayers.

Singing off...See you tomorrow!
