Soulfest 2007

Last week we got the privilege of taking some of our amazing teens & leaders from KV Youth to Soulfest 2007! What an awesome time we had, God provided over & over & over again!! Last year...if you remember seeing a post about Soulfest...we camped on a ski hill (2 miles from the showers & bathroom) with no shade in 110 degree weather, we still had a blast but it was a bit rough at times....This year, we got an amazing campsite near the pond, the weather was in the 80's & 90's & everything else!! It was wonderful!! Plus we decided this year not to cook all our own meals (praise the Lord) and got the Soulfest meal plan, YUMMY it was awesome (not junk food, really good food!) Besides all that God provided such a great time for our group! One of the teen girls had never been to a Christian rock concert before, let alone never had gone on a vacation, so it was soooo neat to see her sooo excited about her experience. Plus the worship times were incredible...makes me sooo excited for Heaven....we worshiped with 10,000 people @ Soulfest, I can't wait to Worship with the whole body of Christ in Heaven!

The Africa Tent Experience was amazing & sad....you listened to a MP3 player of a story of a child's life....you were that child & you listened & saw pictures of what your experiences would have been like if you were that child in Africa. The hardest part was when you visited the clinic to find out if you were negative or positive with the HIV virus....then you saw several pictures of faces with a positive mark stamped over them...representing the lives lost from Aids....very moving experience.

We were even privileged to have a baptism service at Soulfest with just our youth....Bethany got Baptized!!

Awesome...

Great year @ Soulfest....

Parent's Visit

What a blessing it was for us to have my parents come and stay with us! This was their first time visiting us since we moved to New Brunswick. It was so cool to show them our home, church, & community. We got to do alot of fun things while they were here. One of the highlights for me was going to Prince Edward Island. Every since I was a little girl, I have wanted to go & visit the homeland of Anne of Green Gables:) So we did! We even got to go see the musical..."Anne of Green Gables". My parents and I lovvved that! It was Dave's first experience with Anne with an E. My parents even got to experience a bit of our church camp, Beulah! Overall we had a wonderful time with my parents...and of course I have heaps of pictures to share with you....

CANADA DAY

July 1st was Canada Day. Last year we spent Canada Day with the Lamos Family, so this year we decided to make it a tradition & do it again!:) I'm glad that Canada Day is so close to July 4th (Independence Day) makes me feel like I'm not missing out on every American Holiday. None the less we had a blast with the Lamos Family once again on Canada Day!

Vacation Bible School

Well it's hard to believe that our Vacation Bible School (aka: Avalanche Ranch) has come and gone. We have one the BEST children's ministries directors, she is amazing (Linda Lamos) and each year she along with her volunteers have a blast putting on a vacation bible school for our church & community. This year's theme was Avalanche Ranch, & it was heaps of fun. Over 150 kids showed up to hear the gospel in a "HOWDY PARTNER" sorta way...Because of the kids reached the goal of 150...our pastors (including my wonderful husband, Dave) all got whipped creamed & a bucket of COLD water dumped on them. The kids LOVED that!

Rally time @ the beginning had all the kids together for a drama & singing...then they were split in groups to go to game time, craft, snack, & Chatter theater...then back for a closing rally with music & spotlight drama:)
