MASCOT MANIA

Well we made it through the re-scheduled game with no rainouts this time. We did have a little chaos since we didn't have a van to drive when we showed up in the church parking lot but we improvised with a bit of a caravan which included some acrobatic climbing into the baco of my cool blue minivan. It was Mascot Mania which Matt didn't seem to impressed with but Cameron sure liked them. He really liked the Grasshopper and Wool E. Bull. He also really liked the playground and I spent a lot of time there. Emily didn't make it on the big screen even with her crazy sunglasses and crazier singing. Maybe next time. I think everone had a good time even though it was really hot. Here's some pictures.

CONCERT NEWS

Building 429 will be in concert on Wednesday, July 20 at South Elm Street Baptist Church
It's Free!! w/a love offering. They are awesome and I recommend that you check them out. I will try to go if it doesn't interfere with any babies being born so if you want to go with me let me know. Also I heard and unconfirmed rumor that Todd Agnew will be in concert at a church in Reidsville on Sunday August 28. He sings the Grace Like Rain song that we listened to at the CCC worship and during our CCC service at church. I think it would make a great youth group outing to go see him. What do you think? I keep checking on details when available and let everyone know. For other local Christian concert opportunities check here.

IF AT FIRST YOU DON'T SUCCEED ...

Well yesterday's Grasshopper game was a washout but we are wasting no time in re-scheduling. We are going to go to the Sunday afternoon game. That's right, this Sunday. Game starts at 5:00 and we will leave at 4:00. It is Mascot Mania Day at the ballpark, whatever that means. Had to re-schedule quickly if you wanted Amy and I to attend because we are counting down the days until the baby is here and it could be as early as next week. Hope to see everyone Sunday at church and also at the game.

RAIN, RAIN GO AWAY

Well Tropical Storm Cindy is on the way and torential downpours are expected for tomorrow right around game time. So when life gives us lemons, we make lemonade and when life brings hurricanes, we better bring a big umbrella. Anyway, with the bad weather expected I am not buying tickets in advance. We will wait and see what the weather brings on Thursday and go for it if it looks like the weather will cooperate. If not, we'll adjust our plan and do something inside and re-schedule the game for some other time.

Grasshopper Game

We are heading to Greensboro Grasshopper game on Thursday and right now 19 people have signed up to go. Should be a good time at the new stadium and I am looking forward to checking it out. Our new pastor and his children are going and it will be a great opportunity to get to know them and welcome them to the youth group. Also 2 girls from Lexington who were at CCC with us are coming. If we keep getting that many people coming we are going to have to get another van! Speaking of CCC, don't forget to bring your pictures from camp if you've got them.

CCC Pictures

Our CCC mission trip is not complete without our traditional stop at Cracker Barrel on the way back home. Carolina Cross Connection has tons of pictures from Loy White and other campsites also at its website under the media section. Be sure to check there and check back here for more CCC stories.

BACK...WITH A PICTURE (Hopefully)

That sure is a cute kid!!!
