Even though I've been hanging with this group for a full week, it was still awesome to see them again tonight for our 3rd HomeGroups. There really is something special about meeting and eating in homes.

The Strangely Warmed Players, from Ann Arbor Michigan, were our drama group for Youth 2011. They did an amazing job. I'm not normally a fan of drama/skits groups, but they did a really amazing job.

We are in the middle of a full-on super loud rock concert and Parker is totally sleeping. Clay is pictured here with him. It's safe to say that there are some youth very ready to come home and catch up on some sleep.

Happy Birthday Carlos!

One of our youths did this today, which is very very cool.

Erik grew up with the Asbury UMC church - he's now doing youth ministry in Milwaukie (outside of Portland, OR).

We got things started tonight at the Youth 2011 conference. Great stuff so far and the kids are having a blast.
