Radical GRADical Night this Thursday, May 29

Make sure you come on out to this special night as we honor our graduating seniors! We'll have some great music, cool games, good ole' snacks (maybe even a cake), and some practical teaching that will apply to everyone!

62 and Counting

I am officially stoked beyond my control! This is why....we had an incredible Overflo Student Night this past Thursday, May 22! As we finished our "Exposed" series, we were given an opportunity to take part in "A Commitment to Purity". As of right now, 62 Overflo Students turned their commitment card in! I am so stoked about you students making this awesome commitment.

I have uploaded some helpful links at http://www.theoverflo.com/ to assist you in your commitment. Just visit the site and click on the "programs" page. You will find all kinds of cool stuff!

Well, I hope you have a great weekend. Enjoy your Memorial Day with the family. Laura and I are heading to Orlando today for a short overnight stay and some fun there on Monday. Think a little golf is in our plans tomorrow. Another whippin' on the golf course (from Laura probably).

I'll see y'all this Thursday, May 29 for Overflo's "Radical GRADical Night" as we honor our graduating seniors. Make plans on being there.

Wacky Wednesday

Ever had a wacky day? Maybe you got up late or forgot your cell phone. Well, it kind of throws off your day. That's where "tomorrow is another day" comes to mind. And with that, comes a great night at Overflo Student Night. Make sure you are here for some fun outside at 6:45pm including snacks and "makeup mayhem". We're gonna have fun with this game.


Invite a friend to Overflo. I believe it will be life changing as we wrap up our series "Exposed". Well, have a grand day! See you tomorrow!

At the Car Wash...

Well, it was a very busy day around here today as Overflo hosted a car wash and bake sale in conjunction with the church's yard sale. Awesome note...we raised $420 to go toward our charter bus rental for Youth Alive! Thanks for all the Overflo students (some who weren't even going to YA) and some moms for helping at the car wash. We washed over 30 vehicles (p.s. I now hate suv's....pain to wash!). Also, thanks to all those who baked for the bake sale. A big shout out to Mrs. Michele for making it happen all day long!

Even though I am totally pooped from washing cars, I still enjoyed hanging out with everyone from Overflo! Y'all rock...even with some of you who can't wash cars...good trying though!

Hope to see everyone at 727 tonight as well as a weekend worship service. Don't forget to pencil in this Thursday night, May 22 as we conclude our "Exposed" series. It is going to be life changing at Overflo Student Night!

Can I Take Your Order?

Last night (Sunday) some of the students of Overflo got together for a late dinner at Steak 'N Shake. It was a last minute idea at 727 the night before. But much to my surprise, we had over 20 students and some parents.

Of course, the night began by the waitress asking, "Can I take your order?" The evening was only then beginning. After 2 hours of eating and talking, I witnessed something I never thought I'd ever see at Steak 'N Shake.

Now, to know what I am talking about, you need to come to Parkview Celebrate this Thursday, May 15 as Overflo joins along with the all people of Parkview. The night will be awesome as the Overflo band leads in worship. There will be baptism, baby dedication, and communion. You will not want to miss it.

And, after Parkview Celebrate, from 8:15-8:30pm, there will be free ice cream sandwiches for all Overflo Students in the SonZone Theater.


See you then,
Pastor Barry
