Class of '08

Tonight was our last Wednesday Night with the Class of '08. This crew of kids have been very special to Janelle and I. We will miss them. At the same time, I'm excited to see them head on to the next step. Really it's for two reasons...
  1. I'm ready to see them fly. It's time for them to step out and get involved in something new and different. Still connecting to Christ, but making sure their identity is not steeped in this youth group.
  2. It's time for the underclass students to shine. The class of '08 is full of exceptional and influential leaders. As they've led, some of the Sophomores and Juniors have been held back in opportunities to lead. Not necesarrily a bad thing, but I'm extremely excited to see the 9-11th grade lead!
With Sunday Morning and a load of Graduation parties, there's plenty of celebrating to come, but I love these kids, I'm gonna miss, and I'm excited to see them turn this world upside down for Jesus!

This past year with these kids has been such a blessing. I wish I had known them sooner so I could have had more time with them. One year is not enough!
