Vacation Bible School is not even half of it...

Basically I'm just taking a moment to sit and think about what's going on here at Fieldstone UMC. Thursday night we started Vacation Bible School and around 30 kids came out to learn a little bit about having a beach party and a lot about Jesus. They were on one side of the building while about 50 more students and all the SPY staff along with member of our community were preparing for dinner and evening program and then it hit me...

God is totally rocking this place out. The energy is wild and contagious. It's typical camp stuff but it's more than that here. It's a picture of what the church is supposed to be like. The ecclesia, the called out community of God actually living into the love offered by Jesus Christ. This is indeed a powerful place. I just wanted to take a vivid picture of what this community looks like and share it with the masses. I want other people to know that the church is not just a place that sticks to the established way of doing things, but a place that I feel is committed to truly following Jesus. Dude, I'm so fired up right now.

I gotta tell you, I am fired up after reading this. Funny, I have always felt welcomed and challenged and renewed and healed at Fieldstone. But, it never really sunk in that others feel the same way. Just makes me more pumped about the whole thing.
