Beautiful Pandemonium

Last night we gathered all our Middle School and High School students together for a "pre-summer party." There had to have been at least 100 students, a handful of leaders and a few parents - it was awesome!

Actually, it was more than awesome, it was a beautiful pandemonium. There were students everywhere, all thoroughly enjoying themselves. We played some silly, summer camp style games, ate popcorn, cookies and drank cheap Publix soda - it was quite the event.

By the time the night was over, I was so humbled by the shear amount of students God has placed in our care. I love each and every one of them, even the ones I'm constantly getting on to. Thus, I pray that even in the midst of a beautiful pandemonium our students would know not only our love for them but Jesus'.

So, Summer is right around the corner and I am excited about the opportunities we will have for some more pandemonium, some intense worship, devoted prayer, deep study and zealous living. Please be in prayer for both our students and us as a Student Ministry staff.

And remember, even pandemonium can be beautiful if you see it through the eyes of Christ.

For His Kingdom...
