This is our final week of the TEN series at REMIX. Every week I have been blown away by how God has shaped our view of the Ten Commandments and how clear His love for us becomes. This week we wrap up the series and look at how the TEN actually elevate every one's worth. In His list of important things to tell us about life He reveals that we are called to love and serve others just like we love and serve God. It is going to be a great week. Hopefully we will have the final podcasts up for the series soon. Catch up, check it out.
Next week is Thanksgiving so there is no REMIX next week. Hope you have a great week with your family. Our final 2 REMIX weeks of 2009 will be Dec. 2nd and 9th so make plans to be there for our final series of the year. Have a great Thanksgiving!

CRAVE 09 was an amazning weekend and the students are on the way home and we are tearing the stage down! Here is our 2nd parent update from CRAVE! Pictures of live on FB is you want to see some! Here ya go...
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Saturday was a terrific day at crave. We started the morning out a little sluggish from lack of sleep, but God had plans for the day so that didn't last long. Clay started our morning session helping us understand how we can use our stuff to invesr in eternity. Ask your teen about this. I think they'll give you specific examples that God has laid on their hearts. In our consumeristic society it's all about getting more and having the best, and rarely do we think about how we can give our possessions, time and talents away in order to do what's most important-showing Jesus to the world.We decided to hit the aquarium after lunch and that was great fun. We has some good time to hang out with one another in the afternoon.Last night Clay spoke with us about the fact that there is an enemy out there whose single desire is to destroy us. When we fall down or get pushed down in life we can choose anger or apathy, but God's desire is for us to choose to stand again. The students spent time in small groups sharing how God can turn us from despair to repair.
We have one more session this morning where Michael will speak about relationships and moving from lust to love. We'll be heading out at lunch time. Our prayer is that your teen will come home ready to share with you exactly what God has done on their hearts this weekend. It is evident that God has made Himself known in fresh and exciting ways. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your child's spiritual journey. We look forward to seeing you home this evening and watching God use your teen to build His kingdom.

CRAVE09 Parent Update
Live from CRAVE09, here is our parent update from day 1 of the retreat! More to come tonight!
Remix at gatlinburg is in full force. The students showed up ready to encounter God. It was evident people have been praying for this weekend and the teens who are here. The David Glen band lead us in an exciting time of worship. Clay Scroggins had an immediate connection with our teens. He shared with us the concept of ME VS. WE, what life can look like when we stop constantly thinking about ourselves and begin thinking about God's plan for our lives and others. With everyone a little tired, yet excited for the day, we're ready for what God has in store for us today. Pray that God would create intimacy in small groups and students would be active participants in seeking their Creator. It is evident God is ready to revolutionize the lives of some students this weekend. We'll have another post in the morning. We've got 2 sessions and the Aquarium today. It's gonna be a great day. Thanks for praying.
