How fun! The wacky youth ministers met for a planning session today. The summer series started to gel after pencils and star burst were put away. Can you believe the theme for this summer's AWTG is "The Biggest Loser" ??? Plans include the Mariners/Rangers matchup and Six Flags as well various camp sessions. Watch for a firmed up schedule soon to be in mail boxes near you!

February AWTG in Norman
Westside provided the setting for another meaningful worship service tonight. Brett McKnight directed the beautiful singing. Jeremie Beller of Wilshire brought a right-on-target lesson on the "Serve One Another" passages of the N.T. His was easy to follow and retain: the pages of scripture are filled with examples and expectations for us to be servants. His three points were - we need to fill our days with: Selfless Service, Silent Service, and Service of Simple Acts.

Like Seminole, Blanchard, and Ada, these monthly gatherings of teens are well worth the effort. The youth groups (no matter what size congregation) would do well to attend as often as possible! A pat-on-the-back to all of you adults who make these trips happen. Let's continue to encourage our kids to meet new people and build friendships.

Youth Ministers and representatives will meet Feb. 18 at Westside to plan the summer activities.

48th ANNUAL
MOORE YOUTH RALLY
Well, they did another great job hosting almost 400 teens. The meal was great, Sisters. The brethern at Moore Central hosted Willie Franklin again. "Uncle Chocolate" (as he calls himself) doesn't hold back; his famous straight talk to young people is all the advice parents and youth ministers may be too reserved to give and wished they could say. Groups from as far away as Broken Bow gather every February to the Granddaddy of Oklahoma youth activities.It's always inspiring to be around Ronnie and Willie. Logan Cates did a splendid job of leading the awesome singing.
From a personal note, it was great to see Phil Woeke again.
Don't forget the next AWTG is Sunday, Feb 10th, at Westside in Norman. Sorry, no game this year.
