COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
5 PAX today
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I’m heading to Washington DC tomorrow with a couple busloads of 7th graders from CAK for their big field trip.  Supposedly I’m one of the adults… It’s a great opportunity for the kids to go and see where decisions are made that affect the entire country, and even the world.  To some degree, our ability as individuals to affect those decisions doesn’t seem so great, but the Bible says that the fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.  Throughout scripture and history we can see how God can work His will through kings and other leaders, even those who are intentionally trying to go against Him.  Don’t forget to lift up our leaders daily in prayer.
MOLESKIN:

The rain held off just long enough for us to get done, with a little bit of cooling sprinkle coming in on the BOM.  Just my second visit out to JUCO, and look forward to many more beatdowns out there.  Love to see the puddles of sweat that accumulate under brothers working hard to get better together!

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Prayer: Safe travels for CAK group and for Bartman’s son on a band trip. Booster’s friend JJ (sp?) who is losing a leg to arthritis.
Announce: Abscess and Steam leading LeConte hike next weekend.
