Countdown Is On

In about 48 hours, Steve and I will be boarding an airplane to San Francisco with nine teenagers from Community Lutheran Church, and we could not be more excited!!  Woo! Hoo!  Steve and I get to hang out with some very awesome teenagers, and we get to spend a week in God's word through devotions and living out our faith through our actions.  The group will spend a week of fellowship in God's word with a Bible study at Mt. Davidson and nightly devotionals.  We will also be working in the San Francisco community on a variety of projects to help those less fortunate.  We will be meeting teenagers and adults from other churches as we work on our projects and share time in God's word with them as well.  Our individual worlds are about to get much bigger.  As we move into our week of putting our faith in action through this trip, we ask that you follow us on the blog and keep us in your prayers.  I am absolutely confident God will have his hands on us as we grow as a group and as individuals in making memories to last a lifetime.  These memories and experiences may be very personal as we grow in our own individual faith walk, but we also look forward to memories of love and laughter as we share as a group and help others outside our circle. It is our goal to share these memories, thoughts and stories as we move through our week.  Thank you to the parents of these teenagers in trusting your children with Steve and I.  Thank you to Community Lutheran for making this trip possible through your financial support and prayers.  Thank you for your prayers!  More to come as we start this journey.......Teresa Staton
