Grounded Ministry

09/21/2026

Our junior highers had a great time of fellowship and fun games at our second annual Tailgate party! We started with pizza and LOTS of cookies, followed by a simple yet very applicable devotional from Tim comparing playing football to our personal walks with the Lord. After we did some challenges, from the field goal challenge, to who can throw the farthest and then finishing it out with a relay race. Many prizes were given and secret skills displayed while we enjoyed the wonderful evening God gave us.

What a great time at the first ever Peddle & Peddle event! The thunder kept us from hitting the river but we got to bike in the rain and enjoy God’s creation with an amazing devotional from Matt on that very topic! We almost made it to the river before the clouds let loose on us and we got drenched but it was a great time together. When we got back, we even got to finish with joining some folks who were playing music at the bike shop with special performances featuring Zeb and Owen on the cello!

We had a packed house tonight! 27 kids and 4 guests. We had a great time with some trivia questions thanks to Mr. Tim and then a video clip from years ago by Dr. David Gibbs that went along with our prayer study Sam has been teaching. We finished with an amazing time of prayer at the end and I speak for all the leaders when I say hearing our students’ hearts as they pray is truly a blessing and a gift❤️

Had an awesome evening at Canal Days where we handed out gospel tracts, got into good conversations about Jesus, and got some ice cream too! Then we headed to the Mencinis’ house for a cookout. This was our official last event with our graduating 8th grade class but our first with Matt & Liz Blake and their kids who are joining our ministry! We had some intense volleyball, nuke ‘em, cross net, and spikeball games, along with plenty of laughter along the way.

If you see a jr higher serving this week…be sure to give them a high five and an “attaboy”

We have so much to be thankful for!! What a class to send us out on. 🙌🏼 As we reflect on these 3 years with these students we couldn’t be more grateful to serve such an awesome God. The Sr High is gaining some awesome teens that love the Lord!❤️
