BUSY SUMMER PLANNED!!!

HEY YOU GUYS!!! Quick update on what's coming up with AMPED & 5:16: First of all, Youth Sunday and LOUDHOUSE is Sunday, May 16th. We will be honoring the graduating seniors that morning during second service. Way to go guys! That evening's LOUDHOUSE theme is "Gossip Killz". We will be talking about why people gossip and the dangerous effects it has on people. Secondly, it looks like our Summer trip for high school and college is going to be July 8-10 at King's Island for Spirit Song. It's a 3 day event packed full of tons of big name Christian bands along with tickets to the park (including the water park!). Another awesome thing is the 2 week trip to Honduras in June. "Did you say 2 weeks?!" Yes. Yes I did. The second week is going to be our typical going out into the local communities putting on VBS. The first week though, Jackie and I are leading our students down to put on a VBS just for the Faith Home orphanage (which is where we stay every year.) The most amazing part? Our own students will be doing the discipling! Each day will have a different theme and lesson by one of our own followed by separate female and male break out sessions to discuss what we just heard. One HUGE blessing is that Anette Scott will be going with us. Why is this so HUGE? She's a full on fluent Spanish teacher! We will also be performing our new skit "Set Me Free" both weeks. We couldn't find the song in Spanish so Anette got it translated and Jamie Rowe is going to sing and record it for us. Thanks Earl! The students are blowing me away with this skit. We have 6 demons, a tempted and lost girl (Jackie), the typical Jesus Grant, and Christian as Satan (no offense buddy, but you make a great Devil!). That's about all the big stuff. With all of that plus VBS here at The GBC, we don't hardly have time for anything else! Heck, a few of us will be working VBS here all week which ends on Friday and then will be leaving that night around midnight to travel to Louisville to fly out for Honduras. We're going to be exhausted! Oh well, God called us to it. He'll get us through it!
