Laura and I want to thank everyone for an incredible night last night at Overflo! You totally surprised us with much kindness. To think that everyone knew this for weeks and kept it from us is an incredible thing! We were totally shocked!
Thank you to:
To all Overflo students and parents, thanks for all the great gifts!
Michele and all the Overflo volunteers for the food, decorations, games, and baby gifts!
Heather and the Overtons for the phenominal cake! Ate some again this morning.
Laura and I stayed up late last night organizing it all in Davis's room. This little guy is set for life. From diapers to clothing and everything in between, Davis says thanks too!
Again, Laura and I appreciate you all! The love you showed is overwhelming.

It's Been Awhile...Again
Okay, I am sorry for the long delay in writing! Things have been happening around here!
Some random thoughts:
-Stoked about this past Saturday's attendance at 727! We had 46 students and 8 adults involved in 727! Thanks to everybody who came out. The wild thing was there were 6 or more of our regulars that weren't there.
-Great start to Overflo Student Nights in '09! A large number of guests lately. The "Habits" series has challenged many including me!
-This week is the final week of "Habits". Got a wild order of service planned at Overflo Student Night.
-New series, "Best Sex Ever" begins next Thursday night on Thursday, February 5. You won't want to miss it.
-Check out TheOverflo.com for all that is coming to Overflo in February from 727 to Overflo Student Nights!
-New lighting is going to be installed in the worship center on Monday, February 16! It is gonna look great. And don't forget...all these improvements are awesome because the worship center will be all for the students when we build the new building!
-Got to do a lifetime dream yesterday (Monday). And it was phenomenal! Better than I expected! Come hear about it on Thursday!
Well, have a great day. Look forward to seeing you on Thursday at the Flo! Bring a friend!

You Gonna B There....I Won't
It's Saturday afternoon and hopefully you will be @ 727 tonight! We are in our second week of "Teens vs. Parents"! If you weren't there the 1st week, you can still join in! I am stoked about adding new men Overflo volunteers to the mix @ 727! Guys, this will allow you to get more connected in a smaller group size.
As you will notice tonight, I will not be there. I am in Alabama speaking at a youth retreat for a friend of mine's youth group. I arrived last night and spoke right when I got here. I then spoke this morning, will do again tonight and then twice tomorrow morning. It has been fun, but extremely cold here! This morning it was 14 degrees here!
I am glad to be here but certainly look forward to being back in Florida, near my wife, and hanging out with the greatest students in the world...Overflo! As an added bonus, I will be showing you a clip or two at Overflo Student Night of my trip here.
Well, I'll let you run! Missing everyone!

Gr8 Start to 2009!
We are only in the second week of 2009 and it has been a great one already! To start, Overflo Student Night kicked back in action this past Thursday night. And it was awesome! We had a great crowd and had 6 first time guests. Darren and the band did a great job on the worship. I enjoyed beginning our new series "Developing Habits that will change Your Life." This is gonna be a cool series to begin the new year!
Then we started 727 Small Groups last night. After being off for 3 weeks, I thought attendance would be low, but wow, we had a great crowd with a couple guests too! Thanks students for being faithful to all the Overflo events, services, and activities! Now if you missed our first session of "Teens vs. Parents", you can still join in at next Saturday's 727!
Well, I hope you have a great week! Look forward to hanging out with you at Overflo on Thursday!

It's A New Year My Friends!
2008 is now past...New Year's Revolution rocked...school has now begun again! It's now time to get back in the groove of things at Overflo!
Beginning this Thursday, January 10, Overflo Student Nights are back! We will begin a new series entitled, "Developing Habits That Will Change Your Life."
Helping Overflo develop healthy habits for long-term, independent spiritual growth is the name of the game here. The HABITS Series will bring you into the Word of God and give you tools to keep developing your faith, even after you leave Overflo. The HABITS sermon series outlines 4 spiritual disciplines for all believers, young and old: hang out time with God, accountability with another believer, Bible memorization, and involvement with the church body.
4 sermons by Pastor Barry:
Well, have a great week! See you Thursday!
Oh yeah, we are recapping our New Year's Revolution trip on Thursday. You won't want to miss the photos from our scavenger hunt while at Busch Gardens!
