Last year, Yellow Box Student Community began a Spring Break tradition of hosting a night of competition entitled the StuCo Olympics. Students gather at the Yellow Box, formulate teams of 8-10 members, and participate in many different events. Most of the events are variations from the NBC tv show Minute To Win It. Here’s a list of this year’s events: (more…)
This week Brynn turned 9 months old. As you can see in this video, she’s really excited about it. This is also the day she learned to clap – now she won’t stop! Next up…crawling.
This week, Community attendees are being challenged to make an impact somewhere in the world. That might be near or far away. While Ginger and I have known for some time where God is leading us, it’s still fun to make our mark in downtown Aurora. (Our fingerprints are large red and green ones in the photo below.)
Where are you taking a risk to make an impact in our world? I recently heard this quote: “It’s risky for a plane to take off, but that’s what it is made to do. It’s even riskier for that plane to sit on the ground and rust.” The same is true for Christ followers – it’s a risk to follow Jesus but it’s even riskier to do nothing, wasting the life He provided!
The Student Community team is currently planning Blast 2011. We are huddled at the Kalahari Resort in the Wisconsin Dells. Roughly 20 of us spend the better part of 2 days brainstorming any idea (good or not-so-good) to coincide with the Blast theme. This amazing team of geniuses develops the music choices, teaching content, videos, set design and environment elements, response moments, and small group curriculum. Every year, our teams look forward to planning Blast as much as we look forward to Blast itself.
Attached are the pics of the Blast planning War Room.
Don’t forget to join us for Blast 2011 – February 18-21.
This afternoon we took Brynn to Morton Arboretum to take a few Fall photos. While taking shots of her on the blanket among fallen leaves, a very kind lady (who happened to be a photographer) offered to take a few shots of us with Brynn. It was a really great time and we are so grateful to have such a fun little baby who likes getting her picture taken.
The photo on the left is of the latest incarnation of desk configuration at Community’s Yellow Box location. This is my glorious view every single day.
I get to sit with my friends, Sean Bublitz – Yellow Box Arts Director, and Dani Seaton – Kids’ City Director. Also in the photo is Nick Plassman – Small Groups Director and Shawn Williams – Yellow Box Campus Pastor.
This place is going to be ultra-crazy and amazingly fun. I love working at Community…and with these great leaders.
Welcome back. As the redesign continues, feel free to check out Community Christian Church and Student Community (Junior High & High School ministry at Community).
