Radius Kick-off!

Spencer and I are so excited about Radius kick-off tomorrow morning at Southcliff! We just got back from a volleyball cookout at TCU where we got to reconnect with some of our students from last year and some new freshman! We have been praying all summer for these students that Christ would be the center of their lives and realize how amazing God is and that He worthy of worship and praise. We are so excited and blessed beyond we could have ever imagined to be part of what God is doing in these students! Be in prayer for a great semester as we lead these students and for our students and the student leaders!!
Some of our upcoming events that we are looking forward to:
Freshmen Sunday @ Southcliff- Aug. 31
Small Group Kick-Off- Sept. 7- 6-8pm
Service Project: Beautiful Feet- Oct. 17
Amplify (fall retreat)- Nov. 14-16

Olympic History

Spencer and I are back from house-sitting for a couple in our church...we always think of it as a another mini-vacation! We got to enjoy the luxuries of a dishwasher and free laundry (we don't have a dishwasher in our apt and we usually have to pay .75 per load of laundry!) So we love getting to stay there! We have also been spending the last week getting caught up in all the Olympic craze...especially the swimming! When the U.S. won the relay Spencer jumped out of his seat! We also got to watch Phelps make Olympic history---we were both working out and watching it on the TV, I thought Spencer was going to run right off the treadmill!

Spencer begins his PhD classes one week from today! And I start mine the next Tuesday! We are excited to get back into a regular schedule. The freshman at TCU are already beginning to move in! Spencer and I will be attending 2 church fairs that TCU holds each year at the end of August...that is where we will meet alot of new students...so be praying that we will be able to connect with some of them! The next few weeks are going to be really exciting: Spencer preaches this Sunday, the next Sunday morning we have our official "Radius" kickoff and lunch, then the last Sunday we have Freshman Sunday! And somewhere between there we are taking our small group leaders on a 4 day retreat for training at Cox Ranch! Being in ministry is so exciting and such a blessing for both of us!

First blog!!

Spencer and I are both bloggers now! His blog is on the 'radius' website! http://www.radiusworship.org/ check it out! We have had an amazing summer together especially with the college students. Our Thursday nights consisted of ultimate frisbee in 100 degree weather, sand volleyball, midnight showing of 'The Dark Knight', movie marathon, camping, game night and a pool party! We can't believe the summer is almost over! But after our mini-vacation, we are gearing up for the fall with our TCU and UTA students. We have been praying all summer for the new class of upcoming freshmen...we know that God is going to do something great this fall. Our small groups are now student led and we are so excited and proud of all of our amazing leaders! We are really pumped about all of our students coming back in a few weeks!! Not only that but Spencer officially starts the PhD program in the fall...orientation is Aug. 18th! I am also going to be taking a class about being a minister's wife with Dorothy Patterson...should be good! I will try to write a new post every week for our family and friends!!! Apologies for our page being so plain...after a few weeks I will try to spruce it up a bit :)
