Every Wednesday in October we will be meeting in the church from 7:15 - 8:00 p.m. for discussions centered around movie clips, magazines, songs and other stuff you all are around every day. In these discusssions, anything goes: there is no topic I am afraid to talk about. The only rule is that we must all BE REAL. No taking the easy way out of the many tough issues we will explore. Can you handle it?

I do understand your crazy, crazy schedules. I am so proud of the may awesome things you all are involved with. Truly. But I am asking for one day a week of one month for only 45 minutes to be devoted to seeking God togehter in a real way. Please join me.

See you October 3 for our first meeting
