Celebrating "Voices"

My wife & I went tonight to see the play "Voices" at Corona High School. Our very own Cory Pilawski was the assistant Director for the play (the first time in the school history a student has done that!) We of course were so very proud of her. We also saw a few other Remnant students, MJ & Charles.

It was such an INCREDIBLE play. It made us laugh, think, cry (Brenda), and smile!! It displayed the real life struggles of everyday teenage life. There were so many different scenes that caught the attention of our heart. The different actors & actresses were amazing and YOU KNOW we invited them all to our Remnant Family and a bunch of em said they'd be there Tuesday @ 7p! We laughed with them all afterwards and just encouraged them. They were so much fun!!

My wife & I LOVE to find out what other people are excited about and then celebrate them while they do it. People love it when you are passionate about what they are passionate about. The great thing about being connected to Christ, is that it gives us an excuse to be excited about anyones passion, even if its different than mine. Whoever said the only thing I had to celebrate was things that only I really enjoyed? That would make for a very small god.

Remnant Winter Camp 2010

If you just sit there and let the word "CAMP" run through the corridors of your mind, all of us can grab a few memories that warm our hearts. I think of the camp I went to as a junior in High School where I decided to give my life to following Christ. It was 4am a the Dennys down the road.

I always tell our students that you will get out of an experience like camp what you put into it. If you decide to really open up to other students, you will undoubtedly come back with a few new friends. If you open your heart to God and make decisions to pursue him with passion, you will come back with a renewed vigor & passion to make an impact in your friends lives at school.

Math has a place also: we spend 40 hours awake together. Thats 6 months worth of Remnant gatherings together in ONE weekend!! The potential for great friendships to start, God to transform you, and for you to be inspired to change your world can all happen if you're open to it...Are you ready?
