Ultimate Capture the Flag 04

What do you get when you mix one group of leaders who really want to minister to teens with a local community park and a group of teens who love to play? You get Ultimate Capture the Flag 04! It is an outreach to our community that we are hosting this weekend (Friday night 6-8:30pm). We hope to have 30+ teens running through the local park and then invite them across the street to our church to share refreshments and a gosple message with them.

Would you like more information? E-mail me!
Would you like to be part of the event but don't know how to get from your location to Western NY? Pray for us!
Watch this site for posts of pictures! :)

For the love of teens,
Pastor Mike

Thanks for all of you who prayed for the event! We got rained out (thanks to Hurricane Ivan) but did not give up ground! We met in our gynasium and played a variety of games including 3-d Stratego (a variation on the capture the flag game).

We did have 30 teens and lots of good adult help. It was great to see teens having a great time "fellowshipping" with each other and consuming snacks.

The highlight of the night though was Zach. Zach is a new believer that has been growing over the past year. He and his dad were introduced to a sister church through web page design! Zach came to a Word of Life SuperBowl and responded to the gospel invitation. I was able to be used in counseling with him afterwards and now have the joy of seeing him continuing to grow at his church and youth group! TYL!

Thanks again,
