'Ello Everyone! Last weekend we had the chance to gather at the West Seattle Church for our annual Seattle Missions Day. Jeff Shaw and the crew from the Church of the Undignified led us in an encredible experience of worship and service to the city and people of Seattle. Each group experienced something a little different, and each have stories to tell. How was the experience for you? What does God teach you through serving others? How did you interact with God and others in this experience? How might these experiences carry over into your life at home and in the community you're from?
Let's share some stories...
What happened to July?
How is it already August 11?
Wapac has seen a busy and amazing summer, full of youth camps, weekly ministries, and the grand daddy of them all: NYC 2011 in Louisville, KY. Nearly 50 students from across Wapac traveled to Kentucky to take part in the week with 6500 of our closese American and Canadian youth friends. It was a week that will never be forgotten. It changed us all.
Students, Leaders... Where did you encouter God this summer? How did you grow as a group throughout the last few months? Leave a few stories here for us all to enjoy.
Much love,

For a lot of folks in our country, the summer is a time to wind down and take a break. Vacations, summer break, whatever it may be, it's the time to stop and take a break. Not sure why that is, but for those of us in the youth ministry world, summer is when things gear up and get CRAZY. Summer is the best time of the year because students are out of school, there's camping trips to take, mission trips to serve on, church camps to attend, and so much more... I love the summer.
What about you guys out there in WaPac land? What has this summer meant to you? What are your highlights? Share some of your experiences with us!
