First off, thanks for being talkative last night. I reaaallly value that feedback. It's kinda my nightmare that I'll start doing all these things and they aren't even that interesting to you guys. I'm gonna start trying to plan an event that's really casual probably every other week (Game night, movie night, ridiculous teambuilding stuff, etc.). I'll also start looking into things like a night at crazy bounce or skyzone every once in a while. 

Not-so-shameful plug incoming. A super bowl party directly following IMPACT is a great way to get your friends to come and be in a loving community! If you know anyone who needs a little love (especially of the Jesus variety), take them to both things!! IMPACT is going to feature a large dose of sardines and a short devo. 

I'll also bring double dash. So...come. :D 

Also, come represent our boys Kam and Noah at the Zeeland rec dance concert. I'm going on Friday!

When we were talking about the OT article, some of you wanted some articles that are similar for the New Testament. These are some of those that I really liked.

This one is a little easier to understand.

But this one has all those nitty gritty details that I love.

If this is really interesting, but you don't feel like you want to read a bazillion facts, let me know and ill take some time this week and pull out highlights for you. I'm a nerd and I love that stuff. 

So, I may just be overly optimistic, but I felt really good about yesterday. Aside from the whole keeping you for an extra 15 minutes at IMPACT. Whoops. 

I like the group we have a lot. I love that we had people talking and engaged during sunday school. IMPACT was a blast (dumbo octopus and carburetor still kill me). And I hope you guys are liking what we're doing. 

Just so you kind of have a feel for where I am, I'm just now getting into a rhythm where I can start to do fun things like post up at a coffee shop or start planning movie nights. The only issue I'm running into is I have no idea what your schedules look like. Is there a day or something that works best for everyone? 

Also if there was anything you really liked or really hated, TELL ME PLEASE. Despite what you think, I am neither a mind reader nor a prophet. I want this to be fun and informative. 

​Thanks! ​
