Monday Morning

Good Morning,

As I"m writing this, Jeff, Joshua and Jesse and helping to prepare breakfast for us. The are part of the "singles" crew. Each crew was given a name. Each name is a single word that corresponds to a T-Shirt being sold later in the week by an organization called "youth enterprise." The t-shirts have one word on the front and a coordinating Bible passage on the back. My group is called the "Haters" and consists of Madelyn, Lauren, TJ, Jessica and Caitlin. We will join with 4 other girls and another adult from a church from Haslett. Jeff's group is called the "singles" and includes Josh and Jesse. They will join 2 other churches, one from Minnesota and one from somewhere else in Michigan (I can't think of where...) Anne's group is called the "Losers" and includes Billy and Drew. They will also be joined with two other churches. We are all excited to begin our day today. Later this afternoon I"ll post about our ministry projects.

The theme this week in Sault Ste Marie is talking about being different -- not conforming to the ways of the world, loving your enemies and emulating Jesus. Last night in our church group time we talked about how we try to be like other people and fit in and how hard it is to be different sometimes.

Time to go...

Thanks again for your prayers,

Nancy
