I'm Back!

Hey Key Club,

I got home Sunday night from our weeklong CSM conference in Switzerland. We had a GREAT time. A Biblical Counseling professor from The Masters College lead us in teaching times each morning. He spoke through heart issues and discussed ways to solve conflict Biblically. In the evenings our field director shared from Acts and encouraged and challenged our team with his insights. He challenged us to be Gospel driven, willing to embrace struggles and to be people who are willing to enter into each others lives to challenge and shape one another. We opened each session with worship and prayer. It was a refreshing time. Each afternoon we had free time. I went on 3 hikes in the area and spent an afternoon in the city of Thun. Check out my blog for some pictures. It was really fun to spend time with my teammates and enjoy the beautiful scenery. Our rental house was in the midst of amazing mountains. We couldn't have asked for a more majestic view. Just check out our team picture - I didn't alter it, that was our mountain view from our house parking lot! Thanks so much for praying for our week.

I returned to a normal ministry week. We finished our "Media Frontier" series in youth group on Tuesday. I taught on the dangers of Facebook (did you know psychologists now believe in a thing called Facebook depression!?) and how to be wise with social networking. In the coming weeks, we'll be honoring our seniors, graduating our 8th graders into the high school group, and farewelling students who are moving this summer.

I hope you have a great Memorial Day weekend. As we remember those who have served our country, I want to thank you for supporting military families in Germany through your prayers and giving. Thanks for joining me in this ministry!!

Blessings,

Beth
