No Dinner Tonight

I know. I know. Last Wednesday night at Intersection I said that we might have "one last after-intersection dinner" this week. But alas, now that this week is here and schools are starting, classes are resuming, schedules are more packed and starting earlier, I think that it would be best if we did not go out tonight after Intersection. I think it would be best if we broke up. Besides, you all need your smart-brain-sleep...so go home, set out your back to school outfit and go to sleep!

Funky Cold Medina

So fresh and so clean clean. We've got some crazy mad new freshness coming at you. A couple of weeks ago we had some wickedy wack (not wack as in bad, wack as in good) talent try out for our band(s) for the fall. Here's what it looks like
Band #1: TAZ and Amber doing the fun talking stuff, Cody Overstreet laying down the phat beats on drums, Kinsey ravishing the gitfiddle, seth carrying the low love, kirsten giving us some depth on vox, and Allie Stryker bringing some 'sphere.
Band #2: Sugar leading the singing, Seth on bass, Drewbor "the Goober" Schumaker on the eclectic electric, Brice Arnold keeping the tempo, and our own little choir of singers: Grace Riehl, Kat Wynn, and Scott "I will do backflips onstage" Swingler.
Congrats to all who will be leading with us in the next schoolyear, and a great thanks to all who tried out. God has truly blessed our ministry
Rock'n'Roll.

30 Hour Famine

As I type this blog, we are 4 hours and 45 minutes into our fast. We are perticipating in the 30 Hour Famine for the first time. World Vision puts on the event every year.
What is the 30 Hour Famine, you ask? It is a fund raiser where all of the money raised goes to feeding children in Africa. $1 feeds 1 child for 1 day. As students fast, they raise money by telling people about the 30 Hour Famine. It also gives all who participate in the fast, more of an idea about the mass-starvation that is taking place everyday in our world.
Basicially, we are learning about hunger, starvation and famine and raising funds to help combat the problem.
Our fast ends at 6:00pm on Thursday the 3rd. We are breaking it together at Jason's Deli. Meet there at 6:30.
We will start collecting all of the money that will be raised on Sunday the 6th.
For more info, see World Vision's website.
Thanks.
