EIGHT

From David's Desk,

As many of you may already know, last month was a very somber month for Carolyn and me.
For those of you who don't know, Carolyn's grandfather passed away. RD's death was peaceful
and we could see God working throughout all his last days. We know that as Christians we are
supposed to rejoice when someone goes to be with the Lord but at times it can be hard to be
filled with joy when we have a mourning heart. It is at times like these that we cling to the hope
that comes with being a Christian. In Christ we will all be reunited one day, and oh, what a day
that will be. Please pray for our family as his funeral and burial are scheduled to take place this
month.
Coming up:
Sunday May 2. Centrifuge $50.00 deposits are due. That also means that if you haven't signed up, you need to, so I can reserve a space for you. Centrifuge is July 19-24.

Tuesday May 18. The 30th anniversary of the eruption of Mt. St. Helens. I only know this because it also happens to be the same day I was born. This may come as a shock to those of you who think I'm only 20 but truth be told I will actually be 30 years old on the 18th. I think that puts me only 11 or 12 years younger than Pastor Frank.

Summer Sunday Nights at David and Carolyn's will be starting back up in the summer.

I am pleased to announce that on June 26 - July 3 the youth will be going to Oakhurst CA. for a mission trip. We will be teaming up with a church from San Diego to do VBS and service projects. Please pray for us as we plan and prepare for this trip.

Soccer Camp will be July 12-15, followed by Centrifuge.

As you can see we have a full summer planned for the youth between the mission trip, soccer camp and, Centrifuge. I'm also figuring out ways to work in a trip to Magic Mt., the beach, fellowships, an all-nighter, bible studies, pool parties and more. Pray for me that I get the summer calendar ironed out before summer arrives.

Please let me know if God is leading you to support our youth and these events in any way.

In His service,
David

P.S. Watch out for pink flamingos!
