Now it’s time to find those no. 2 pencils and start doing eyeball exercises to get ready for reading.  As you may, or may not be getting ready for school, there is something that always comes back around each year.  That is a new start.  No matter what you did last school year, each of you is given a fresh start with the new school year. (I know you’re probably thinking I’m going to tell you how you have a new start with God through his son Jesus Christ.  Very good and very true, but not where I was going.)  All your regrets or victories from last year start over too.  All your accomplishments and failures in school are behind you and now you live a new day, a new year.  What are you prepared to do about it?  What opportunities to share God’s love with a hurting friend, or in what ways are you prepared to share your relationship with God with your friends?  There are only a few more days until you get back to the crowded hallways of your school, and what are you going to do about it?&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Peace out, word to your mother,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;PA &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;EPIC&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; GATHERINGS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;-630p Epic Cafe Opens                      ______________Sept     2      Rt. 10 Tour&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;-650p Epic Cafe Closes______________                     Sept     9      getEpic&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-700p “U” Groups                            __________________Sept     16    getEpic&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;-830p Altar/Dismissal_______________                       Sept     23    getEpic&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;                                                   &lt;br /&gt;__________________________________Sept     30    getEpic &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6623924744203512126-4195738182062427229?l=getepic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://getepic.blogspot.com/feeds/4195738182062427229/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://getepic.blogspot.com/2009/09/september_08.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6623924744203512126/posts/default/4195738182062427229'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6623924744203512126/posts/default/4195738182062427229'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://getepic.blogspot.com/2009/09/september_08.html' title='SEPTEMBER'/><author><name>Reverend Pastor Adam M.

We have found it to to be quite a challenge working in a community without frequent use of cell phones, internet, and easy transportation.  Sometimes it feels as if we are set back in time 50 years! Yesterday was an action packed day as we were able to host our community cookout at the Boys &amp;amp; Girls Club for anyone who wanted to come.  Tim Brock cooked us up some hamburgers, the youth shared their human video's, and we were really able to interact and spend quality time with the residents of Lame Deer.  The human videos were very powerful and it opened the doors to speak to some of the younger children about drugs, alcohol, church, and Jesus. Definitely the highlight of the evening would be the annual basketball tournament that most of us participated in.  Since there is not alot to do on the reservation, the people play basketball alllllllllllllllllllllllll thhheeeee tiiiiimmmmmeeee:-) And they are REALLY good!!! It was a great night getting to share in living the life that these people do on a daily basis.  The youth met other teens their age and I even saw some of our youth praying with them before they left.  It was a wonderful outreach night.&lt;br /&gt;   The leaders came together late Wednesday night with what we realized was a huge spiritual attack straight from the enemy.  Through lots of prayer, intercession, discussion and encouragement, we woke up today with a fresh spirit of unity and excitement for the rest of the trip.  We encouraged the youth this morning to completely give their everything for the remainder of the trip, asking them to come on board with the new vision of unification that we have been praying for.   So far today, it has been incredible.  It's awesome to serve a God that shows up when we ask him too!&lt;br /&gt; Today is our last day to work with the Boys and Girls Club and also with the Outdoor Camp.  The Lame Deer children are already saddened to know that we will be leaving in a few days but I know that that just shows that relationships have been made.  The youth are doing so great and parents, I think you would be proud to see them working so hard (especially in this 100+ degree weather!)  Thank you again for all your prayers!

All the teams jumped into action this morning and I heard great testimonies from each group on what's been going on with their interactions with the people of Lame Deer. Please continue to pray for divine interactions with the Cheyenne people. Each group has had different opportunities, but all purposely intentional by God.  The construction team finished up their work at Christ the Rock church, helping them turn a junk room into a cafe.  This group was also able to participate in a prayer walk around Lame Deer this morning.  They would stop at houses and ask people how they could pray for them.  One of the youth was so excited that he was able to share and pray with a 5 year old little girl who was struggling with alcoholic parents.  To see his face light up as he was talking about this opportunity was awesome.  The Boys and Girls Club team had a fun day of loving kids and  swimming at St. Labre.  It is a challenge trying to stay afloat with 5-7 kids attached to you at all times! The kids really brightened up when they saw us return on the 2nd day, so I feel as if we are making an impact with relationships.  The Outdoor Camp really stepped up today with a homeade curriculum created solely by the youth.  They taught the kids about the importance of trust, along with the armor of God.  The children participated in a blindfolded obstacle course where they learned about the importance of trust and love for one another.  It was a really cool day for the the outdoor camp.&lt;br /&gt;For our fun activity tonight, the bus actually made it 45 minutes away from our camp to General Custer's Last Stand.  The scenery was absolutely breathtaking and after a brief history lesson, we broke into small groups to debrief  the day.  After a gas station junk food stop (sorry parents!), we headed home for a night of rest to prepare for Day 3 of ministry.  Thank you for your prayers!!&lt;br /&gt;**On a sidenote, their is no cell phone service in Lame Deer.  Diane Wood has provided the youth with free prepaid phone cards but we have had difficulty finding phones for the kids to call on.  There has been no injuries or emergencies with any of the youth so please be reassured that everyone is doing well. We hope to make phone calls throughout the week if the opportunity arises.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6623924744203512126-4894849560186654837?l=getepic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://getepic.blogspot.com/feeds/4894849560186654837/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://getepic.blogspot.com/2009/07/tuesday-july-21.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6623924744203512126/posts/default/4894849560186654837'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6623924744203512126/posts/default/4894849560186654837'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://getepic.blogspot.com/2009/07/tuesday-july-21.html' title='Tuesday, July 21'/><author><name>Reverend Pastor Adam M.

We have the youth divided into four subgroups all working on different projects while here in Montana. The first is the outdoor camp at Crazy Head Springs which is where the youth are holding a daycamp for children 12 and under. It consists of activities, bible stories, and lots of games and food for these precious children. They are going to be illustrating learning to put on the full armor of God daily. I feel as if these children are going to have a truly amazing experience this week. The second and third groups are ministering through community service- consisting of painting, lawn mowing, church repair, etc. The kids really seemed to enjoy themselves today and showed a great sense of teamwork getting their jobs done. The last group is actively involved at the Boys and Girls Club organizing crafts and sports for ages 10 and under. I (Shawn) was able to be a part of this today and I can tell you the children love for us to be there. Sadly, you can feel a sense of separation or annoyance with some of the workers there as we are trying to bring Christ into these children's lives. We are strongly praying against the attack of Satan this week.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Which brings me to our highlight of the day....:-)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;On our way out to Buffalo Jump (a hiking trail and overlook) for our fun activity of the night, our faithful schoolbus that we have been borrowing from Pastor Dean's church decided to stall out. Thankfully Anthony Wood is a diesel mechanic and immediately got to work. We sent a few people back into town and the youth were all safely transported back to Lame Deer with the help of a borrowed 18 passenger van and some of the wonderful youth workers here. It turns out that the gas gage doesn't exactly read the correct level of gas and we apparently just ran out of gas. The bus is fine and we will attempt to hike Buffalo Jump tomorrow. We ended the day with a good time of prayer and small groups and are about to head to bed for Day 2 of ministry. Thank you for your continued prayers..... we can feel them!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6623924744203512126-5564289252436509729?l=getepic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://getepic.blogspot.com/feeds/5564289252436509729/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://getepic.blogspot.com/2009/07/monday-july-20.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6623924744203512126/posts/default/5564289252436509729'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6623924744203512126/posts/default/5564289252436509729'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://getepic.blogspot.com/2009/07/monday-july-20.html' title='Monday, July 20'/><author><name>Reverend Pastor Adam M.

We arrived here last night around 10 pm, with all kids and ALL luggage safely.  Our flights were uncomplicated and thanks to our neon yellow shirts, we were able to share with alot of people about what we are coming out here to do.  We are staying in separate Head Start buildings with guys in one and girls in the other.  It always takes a little adjusting to the time difference (2 hours) and we crashed late last night.  This morning we split into groups and had the priviledge of attending 3 local churches (Christ the Rock with Pastor Michelle, Morningstar Baptist Church with Pastor Dean, and the Pentacostal Church with Pastor Luther Yellowrope ).  All of the churches were very welcoming and I hope that we were able to bless them as much as they blessed us.  This afternoon we headed out to Crazy Head Camp to swim in the lakes, play some wiffleball, and have a cookout for dinner. After dinner tonight we will have our first opportunity to break into small groups to pray for the impact of our upcoming week. We are super excited to begin the camps and community service tomorrow and appreciate all prayers for God's perfect will for His people out here.  We are anticipating God's best!!!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6623924744203512126-3365827273513240804?l=getepic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://getepic.blogspot.com/feeds/3365827273513240804/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://getepic.blogspot.com/2009/07/weve-arrived-in-lame-deer.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6623924744203512126/posts/default/3365827273513240804'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6623924744203512126/posts/default/3365827273513240804'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://getepic.blogspot.com/2009/07/weve-arrived-in-lame-deer.html' title='We&apos;ve Arrived in Lame Deer!!'/><author><name>Reverend Pastor Adam M.

This summer is going to be filled with all sorts of great things for you and I know you have already started experiencing some of those things.  As you get out there and enjoy your summer I want to remind you of the words that Darlene Knowles shared with us at Epic the other night.  She said that if you find yourself bored this summer it’s because you let yourself get bored.  Go out and do something for God.  You have learned about what it is to follow God every week at Epic.  Now Go....Go and do something great.  Take the things you’ve learned and go and reach new heights.  Following God will hardly leave you bored. It’s more scary honestly!  Above is a picture of Shawn and my puppy. He hasn’t arrived yet because he is only 18 days old.  But when our puppy, Denali by the way, comes home he won’t be staying in the yard long.  He will want to explore and see new things.  God wants to do the same with you.  Take you to new places in your relationship with him.  Go explore!  Let God be your guide.  He wants to do big things with you!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;That’s the word,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;PA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_EcBqMU2WqBQ/Sk0eFbs-jbI/AAAAAAAAAFw/OuZGHyNXTiU/s1600-h/jay+leroux+09.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 138px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_EcBqMU2WqBQ/Sk0eFbs-jbI/AAAAAAAAAFw/OuZGHyNXTiU/s200/jay+leroux+09.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353968610697973170" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:180%;"  &gt;DISCIPLESHIP WEEK!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Date: July 5-9th&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Time: All Day!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Cost: $50 for non-MT Team members&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;     $25 for Montana Team members&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Discipleship Week is going to be great this year!  We will begin on Sunday night at 5pm.  Jay Leroux will be sharing about spiritual warfare this week.  Spiritual warfare, or whatever you want to call it...The enemy coming against those who follow Christ, Satan attacking you...The bottom line is that God’s Word is very clear about the fact that the enemy roams the earth looking for people to devour.  During our&lt;/span&gt; Discipleship week, Dr. J will be taking us through the power that is in Christ to defeat the enemy.  He will be growing us in our ability to defend ourselves against the enemy’s plans.  Come and join us for a week of discipleship!  Don't forget your teddy bear to keep company at night!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_EcBqMU2WqBQ/Sk0eaBsJwHI/AAAAAAAAAF4/yW0WsBSP2Gk/s1600-h/facebook-logo.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 75px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_EcBqMU2WqBQ/Sk0eaBsJwHI/AAAAAAAAAF4/yW0WsBSP2Gk/s200/facebook-logo.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5353968964492443762" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;We got a Facebook!

We don’t know what we’re going to get yet.  Shawn has her heart set on a labrodoodle.  Apparently it’s a mix between a lab and a poodle.  They kinda look like a lab with shaggy hair!  I kinda like this guy in the picture.  I want my dog to be a super hero.  Haha.  Well maybe he or she wont be a super hero but I do think that all of you are super hero’s.  You can be super hero’s in the way you love others.  Its really a lot more easy than we make it a lot times.  I mean really think about it for a second.  You can be a super hero to someone just by the way you treat them.  Jesus told some people who were all about serving themselves that even the most insignificant things they do for other people are as if they did it for Christ.  Start with the little things.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;That’s the word,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;PA&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;EPIC GATHERINGS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;-630p Epic Cafe Opens         May     6      The Least of These&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;-650p Epic Cafe Closes         May    13     Get Epic&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;-700p “U” Groups                 May    20     Celebrate Jesus!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;-830p Altar/Dismissal          May    27     Get Epic&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;"  &gt;LAME DEER, MONTANA’S FINEST! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Also be checking yo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_EcBqMU2WqBQ/SgL3SiG6-AI/AAAAAAAAAEg/LNNjJepbmW4/s1600-h/Montana%27s+best+copy+gray+red+copy.png"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 131px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_EcBqMU2WqBQ/SgL3SiG6-AI/AAAAAAAAAEg/LNNjJepbmW4/s200/Montana%27s+best+copy+gray+red+copy.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333096806525630466" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;ur email for updates.

No matter what denomination or background?  Join us as we join together to see God’s Kingdom worship him.  Hearts United in Praise is a inter-denominational lead and participated event. We are not affiliated with any one church but come from all different churches. The praise team is made up of members from different churches as well. Join us as we come together as the Chesterfield community to be united for one purpose-to bring praise and worship to Jesus Christ. If you would like more info about the night, a letter for your pastor, flyers, or info on how to participate on the worship team please contact Adam Reuss using the info below.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Hey everyone, I just wanted to encourage you to be a part of what God is doing in our community. The word revival never really appealed to me because of some past experiences, but in praying for our community I really sensed God bringing a change to our community by bringing us together as His body. The things God can do through us together are way more than anything he could do with us separated and disengaged from one another. Let's get together and be the body of Christ in our community! Let's use this platform of worshiping God to start a bond between us to see Him change our city.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Peace in Him,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Adam Reuss  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6623924744203512126-191868320168516211?l=getepic.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://getepic.blogspot.com/feeds/191868320168516211/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://getepic.blogspot.com/2009/03/hearts-united-in-praise.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6623924744203512126/posts/default/191868320168516211'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/6623924744203512126/posts/default/191868320168516211'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://getepic.blogspot.com/2009/03/hearts-united-in-praise.html' title='HEARTS UNITED IN PRAISE'/><author><name>Reverend Pastor Adam M.

March is one of the greatest months for college basketball fans because it starts the biggest tournament in college sports.  65 teams (including the play in game) all have a shot at becoming this years NCAA basketball champions.  Sometimes a Cinderella team, a team no one thought could win, rises to the top.  Sometimes it’s the team everyone picked to win it all.  But the bottom line is: THERE IS ONLY ONE CHAMPION!  Our lives can sometimes feel like a Cinderella team.  We feel like we have no shot at winning.  Sometimes we feel like we are top of the world and no one can beat us.  The Apostle Paul would have said, “No matter if you feel like the underdog or the king of the hill run this race with passion.  Throwing off all the things that will keep you from winning the prize.”  Press on to know God more and more.  The prize we run after is eternal life.  Don’t let anything get in your way to keep you from that prize.  And always remember, THERE IS ONLY ONE CHAMPION!     &lt;br /&gt;That’s the word,&lt;br /&gt;PA&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EPIC GATHERINGS&lt;br /&gt;-630p Epic Cafe Opens         Mar    4    Celebrate Jesus!&lt;br /&gt;-650p Epic Cafe Closes         Mar   11  One Decision Away&lt;br /&gt;-700p “U” Groups                 Mar   18    One Decision Away&lt;br /&gt;-830p Altar/Dismissal          Mar   25    One Decision Away&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;EPIC MISSIONS TRIP TO MONTANA &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;July 18-26 2009&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now that the date for applications to Montana has passed we get to start getting ready for the Missions Trip!  We will be having interviews so we can help give you a vision for our mission.  Interviews will be on March 15 @ 11:30a in the Choir Room, upstairs in the new building.

It’s Super Bowl time, and we are going to be ringing in February with a Super Bowl party in the Caf&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;é at 6p on the 1st.  I don’t know who you will be voting for but there will be &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;plenty of screen for everyone.  February also brings us the opportunity to reach out to our community.  This is a cold month and there are a lot of homeless people who need wood to burn to stay warm.  We are go&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;ing to be having Wood Chop, horse back riding and a bonfire cookout.  The following Sunday we have the opportunity to go out and deliver some&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; of the wood.  I like to think of February as National Flannel Awareness Month.  Join us on Wednesday nights as we look at the impact of our decisions this month.     &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;That’s the word,&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;PA &lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;EPIC GATHERINGS&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;-630p Epic Cafe Opens         Feb    4    One Decision Awa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;y&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;-650p Epic Cafe Closes         Feb   11  One Decision Away&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;-700p “U” Groups                 Feb   18    One De&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;cision Away&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;-830p Altar/Dismissal          Feb   25    One Decision Away&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;EPIC MISSIONS&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; TRIP TO MONTANA &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:trebuchet ms;" &gt;July 18-26 2009&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The date f&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;or applications and deposit for M&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;ontana are almost here.

I can’t believe it is almost 2009.  This can be exciting or really depressing.  That means your one more year closer to being out of school, it is a new start for you.  Maybe last year wasn’t the greatest, but you have a new start in 2009.  Think of this new year as the beginning of something new that God wants to do in you.  A new deeper place that he wants to take you.  In The Message Bible Proverbs 1:7 says “Start with God-the first step in learning is bowing down to God; only fools thumb their noses at such wisdom and learning.”  Let this new year start with God.  You can only go where he wants to take you if you let him teach you.  And as my good friend Mr. T would say, “I pity da FOOL!”  Let God take your new year and take you to a new level in your relationship with him.  Start with him and let him take you from there.  I hope you have a Happy New Year!  And hey, why not come spend it with us at the New Years Eve Party!?!?!&lt;br /&gt;That’s the word,&lt;br /&gt;PA&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;EPIC GATHERINGS&lt;br /&gt;-630p Epic Cafe Opens         Jan    7     Why Me?&lt;br /&gt;-650p Epic Cafe Closes         Jan   14  Why Me? &lt;br /&gt;-700p “U” Groups                 Jan   21    No Epic&lt;br /&gt;-830p Altar/Dismissal          Jan   28    Why Me?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_EcBqMU2WqBQ/SWTo1xNQN-I/AAAAAAAAACs/mWg6qaeVxw0/s1600-h/Montana%27s+best.png"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 131px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_EcBqMU2WqBQ/SWTo1xNQN-I/AAAAAAAAACs/mWg6qaeVxw0/s200/Montana%27s+best.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5288607872879441890" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:130%;"&gt;EPIC MISSIONS TRIP TO MONTANA &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;July 18-26 2009&lt;br /&gt;Application Due Feb 21st&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;THE DATES ARE FINALLY IN FOR THIS YEARS MISSIONS TRIP.
