Thanks for praying for a good weekend at Emerald Hills, for good weather, and for Tara as she lead the group that was retreating. Praise God as you read the message she got this morning:
Hey Team,
Just wanted to pass on this short segment from an email I received this morning from the leader of the group in Indianapolis that was here over the weekend. As I said this morning…Lord willing some of these high school kids might someday do more long term work with us!
Tara,
I do not know what format you might use to report in staff meeting how
Team Expansion's first "official" ropes course weekend went, but it might be
worthwhile to relay to them that we had several of our kids ask if we
could stay another night!
Ask God that Emerald Hills might be the perfect place to adore our God, the Father of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Thank Him for the short-term missions group who is making use of the facilities today to retreat before their trip to Poland. Pray for good weather so that all of the outdoor team-building exercises can be completed. Ask God to protect each member of the group and to give wisdom to Tara, who is heading up about 4 hours of these team-building activities.

Praise God for a wonderful weekend! The wedding went beautifully well, despite the change of venue due to rain and muddy trails. The Prayer Center proved to be a "perfect" place for a wedding. Thank God for the work team from Michigan who were able to help with some of the preparations for the wedding and with ongoing needs on the grounds and in the facilities at Emerald Hills.
