	Shoveling, More Shoveling...and well, Shoveling. Two days ago the weather man said we would get 1-2 feet of snow. I laughed. The snow laughed back as it fell all night. And so here I am today, exhausted. Why, you might ask? Read More »

	5 Stones Youth @ AU Rock Wall 5 Stones Youth Group hit the AU Rock Wall during May 2010 - This adventure was a part of a month long reflection on what it looks like to adventure/journey with God. Teens had to take risks, try something new, encourage one another, and ultimately, trust God (or their rope) to get closer to the prize! Read More »
	Youth Adventures @ Camp Nuhop The 5 Stones Youth Group went to Camp Nuhop, May 2010. Teens faced their fears and climbed up 30 ft. into the air, walking on wires, boards, and then zip-lining about 250 feet. Lots of laughing, yelling, and encouragement as the challenge was to take a risk, and also build relationships! Many teens did the big swing as well (shown at the end of movie) in which you free-fall 40 feet! There were 25 participants this Sunday afternoon! Thanks to all the parents, volunteers, and teens that made this a success! Read More »
