All the photos from the houseboat trip are up! Click here if you would like to see over 500 amazing shots of what we did this past week. It was the most amazing trip and I have already started planning next year!

Well, we are all home safely from Wavelength. It was a great trip, six
students got baptized, we all got a deeper understanding of who God
is, and are ready for the summer before us.
Now for a little update on me. I am home safely, but it was somewhat
of a difficult journey. We were about 5 minutes from leaving and as a
group taking a group photo. I was on the bottom deck, six inches from
the water and jumped in. I had checked the water, it was deep enough
and i was doing a belly flop. However, when I went in the water, my
head hit a submerged rock, that I had missed in my pre-flight check.
Oops and ouch. Pastor/EMT Billy ran to me. I never loss consciousness,
but was short of breath and was bleeding from my head. I was carried
onto the boat and was met at the dock by paramedics and taken to the
hospital. The best part was when I was being taken to the boat all the
students on their own got in a circle and started praying. The prayers
worked cause my head never hurt, well maybe a little later, I now have
10 staples on my head. At the hospital i got a cat scan, my head is
fine, no damage to my brain, and my neck is just as strong as ever. My
head will heal in a week, the bad news is I cracked a vertebrae, t-4.
I already had another vertebrae cracked in 2 places (condition from
birth) A doctor told me years ago that it was a miracle I could walk.
But no matter what happens to my back, it has always been God's hands
that hold my spine together. I'm at home now resting.
Thank you for all your prayers, I'll see everyone tomorrow.

So the houseboat trip is so very very close. I wanted to update the site with a few details of the trip, and answer any questions some might have. June 22nd is Youth Sunday. This is the day JHigh, High School, and College take over the main sanctuary and run the entire show. So please join us during first or second service that day, we will be ordaining Matt Bradley, Kevin Mitchell, and Billy Morin that day, Jr High Pastor, College Pastor, and Pastor of Outreach, respectively. It will be a great day, and a BBQ after 2nd service. As for the Houseboat trip, we will be meeting at 9pm at Ocean Hills. So there is plenty of time to go home, pack (if you procrastinate), or have a nice family dinner. So at 9pm be at Ocean Hills, we will sleep at the church and leave before the sunrise on Monday. The next major question is, what shall I pack? Know that the weather will be HOT during the day and COLD at night. Well here it is:

• Bible
• Pen, Paper
• Sleeping Bag and Pillow
• Sunscreen
• Lots of Bathing Suits
• Towel
  
• Shirts
• Girl need a pair of boardshorts
• Toiletries
• Any snacks or drinks to share
• Cash for 2 meals on the road
  

Wow houseboat trip in 3 weeks, i cant wait
