Blessed Easter!

Artha and awesome friends, Kendra and Amanda

Well, it was a wonderful Easter despite the lousy weather!

Artha especially had an amazing weekend.

It started on Friday afternoon as she and her youth group began what would be a 30 hour Fast to raise money for famine relief. Then that evening she and her Confirmation Class celebrated their first communion. What an amazing group of young people! The youth group then went to 2 houses for a lock-in and bible study. They got up on Saturday morning, still having not eaten anything and went out in the cold and sleet to give away 1000 cokes with invitations to Easter service at a local intersection. They then went and prepared 340 sack lunches and distributed them in just 10 minutes at the Salvation Army. They wrapped up the 30 hour event at 9 p.m. with a well-earned, hearty breakfast. These kids really put their faith and commitment to the test this weekend and were an awesome example to many!

God is good all the time!
