March Trip #1
Hey! :) so we just returned from our first trip of what you would call the "trip season of MCGC". I call it that because we have like a million trips between now and graduation in May along with events here that we must be at. But anyways, our trip this weekend was to Danville, KY. This is the hometown of Kate Stephens, a fellow first year.
We left around 2pm on Saturday afternoon. It was only about a 3 hr trip so the van ride wouldnt have been too bad... had we not been piled in a 15 passenger van. This is normally not a problem for a group of 9 people right? Not when you must also do worship on this trip so you must also take 3 guitars, a drum set, an amp, the drama equipment, and the sales booth. Needless to say, it was fun getting in and out. Luckily, we only stopped twice (cuz of a certain boy with a girl blatter *cough* Jordan *cough*) lol but we finally arrived around 5.
We then had a youth rally at 7... or was it 6? I'm not sure but we DID have a youth rally and it went extremely well. This church was a baptist church so they werent used to the altar call at the end but it was still a successful night. We then went with the youth leader to a pizza place to eat and then headed back to Kate's house (where we stayed) and hung out til time for bed.
The next morning we were at church by 10:15 after eating a glorious breakfast thanks to Kate's mom :) This mornings service also went very very well, just as good as the night before actually. One of the dramas had never been done before and my performance as Jesus during practice times had been sub-par at best but we pulled it together and it went excellently. We then went back to Kate's house for some amazing spaghetti, thanks again to Kate's mom. We then packed up and headed home and were home by prolly 6.
This was a great weekend. With my phone off, there was nothing to distract me from the purpose of bein there. It worked out really well and I'm super glad.
Our next trip is on Wed. to Cave Hill, IN. Its a Christian school somewhere just across the border from Ohio and will be an all-day trip. Pray that God works His will during this trip.
My next post will consist of our travel schedule. I have it, its just not on me right now so I'll get that to you all next time. I'll try to post again tomorrow.
Thats all for now. Adios!

Comments!!!
Hey hey! Well, another week had gone by in Masters and I don't have too much to tell you guys so I'll just get started.
First off, we had Night With MCGC on Friday night. Basically, we showed this church what Masters is all about. We did 6 dramas and also had a little meet and greet thing. It was alot of fun and we put alot of effort into it last week to make sure it would be perfect. I think this church knows what this yrs Masters has to offer.
Speaking of what we have to offer, we will be in Howe the last weekend of March so everyone make sure to write it down and make sure to be there! :) We are gunna rock your world :) lol
So I would appreciate some comments every once in awhile so I know you guys are actually readin the updates I post. I apologize again for not posting in a very long time, but I will be sure to post at least once a week now to keep you guys updated.
And finally, I want you all to know that I am really looking forward to starting up the youth group this summer. A regularly scheduled youth group service will be the first thing on my agenda to arrange. Also, I want to focus our youth group on the same thing the church as a whole is focusing on, which for this year would be outreach. I feel like the talents our youth have been blessed with are countless. Like anything else, these gifts can always be worked to give praise to God. If I can get the response, I would love to work on some worship music with the musically-inclined portion of our youth :) They are all so so talented!
That is all for now. I gotta get to drama practice now so I'll probably post again later. I want to gear my posts more towards my thoughts and ideas along with what I'm doin. I love you all!
