One of the best things about my job is that I get to spend time with all of you guys!!  Sometimes schedules are busy and life is cruising and it's tough to get together and hang out.  BUT, for a limited time I so want to hang out and spend time with you all that I am offering to take you out to lunch ALL EXPENSES PAID!  All you have to do is let me know when you would like to go!!  It doesn't have to be a Friday either...it can be any day that work with our schedules!  Free Lunch Friday just kinda sounded cool to me I suppose.  I hope to be dining with ya soon!  Thanks for being a part of Champions for Christ!

Thanks for coming out last night...

Hey!  I want to thank everybody who showed up last night and made our first 3-0n-3 basketball tournament a success!  It was a lot of fun to see so many teams competing and having a good time!  Congratulations to those teams who took home the goods!  Thanks to our adults who helped officiate and keep score!  It was a fun night!!

Next Wednesday, we will resume our regular activities.  This means we will meet at the Community Center at 6:30 p.m. for some free time, organized games, an a lesson.  Below is a flier for an event coming up that I am excited about.  If you are an Aitkin student, this Thursday night event will rock for you because there is no school the next day.  If you are a Brainerd student it's a bit more complex because you do have school but if you want to go please let me know by this Wednesday!  It is going to be an awesome concert!!

The concert will be held at the New Song Cafe in Brainerd, MN.  The doors open @ 6:30 p.m. and we would try to leave the church around 5:30 p.m. to make sure we get in line for the event.  The event will be $8 at the door.
