Youth Alive Day 2 and 3 Wrap

We have been swamped! Busy..busy..busy! But fun! Tuesday was a full day from sun up to sun down and then some! We had a morning service then lunch then afternoon activities. It was all fun, but very long and hot!

On Tuesday evening, it was time for the evening service with Ergun Caner speaking. He's one of our favorites! Wow, what a message on answering God's call on your life. Overflo responded with some 2 dozen of our students answering the call of ministry or service. That was phenominal! So thankful for what God continues to do in the hearts of Overflo. Then it was time for a late night concert with Building 429. They were good (and loud too). The students liked it. Then it was onto the snack truck at 11:30pm for a hot dog. Off to bed around 12:30am!

Now Wedenesday was a little early for us after getting to bed so late. We met for breakfast and then boarded the bus at 8:00am for Six Flags over Georgia. We were at the park from 10am till around 4pm. After a 2 hour trip back to Chatt., it was time for a quick shower and then din-din! Then it was time for the evening service at 8pm. It was a great night with Jonathan Falwell (one of my favs.) speaking. Great message from the heart of a pastor. Then a full concert from American Idol's Chris Sligh. He had a great testimony and could flat out sing. After the concert, it was midnight snack time with Chick-Fil-A sandwiches. Is this healthy at such a late hour? Well, it was off to the dorm for curfew...lights out around 1am!

See you soon,
Pastor Barry
