Fun Weekends are the Best!

This weekend was amazing! I don't even know if I will be able to remember it all... Friday night Theresa and I went to see the Happening for our birthday (yes, it was two weeks late, but we finally did it). It was a pretty good movie, but not my favorite.

On Saturday, Ericka and I headed to Six Flags for fun and sun. We got there around 1030am and the lines were virtually non-existient. I think we went on at least 7 or 8 rides before we headed to the waterpark. After going on a couple of the big water slides, we floated in the moat for a while and talked. Just as we were packing our bags to go get some lunch, it started to rain... in San Antonio! Crazy, right? So, we ended up getting "lupper" at a pizza place. We had a great time and are looking forward to the next time we can use our season passes.

Sunday was an eventful day as well. I made it to Sunday school and we had a great conversation about some of our favorite Bible passages. Then we headed to the contemporary service to hear Pastor Will's first sermon at the church. He is blessed with the ability to deliver a message. He spoke on how God calls all of us to be obiediant through our faith in Him. He used the story of Abraham and corralated it to his personal story. I am definitely looking forward to hearing his next sermon. While I was there, I ran into a couple that was also from CC. The man actually had Grandfather as a pastor when he was a child. Its always fun to meet someone that knew him. After the service, my Sunday school class went to lunch. I am really enjoying getting to know them better.

In the afternoon, I headed back to the church to help out with the uSkate program. They actually set up a skate park inside the gym and invite children in the community to come and skate and hear a short talk from Pastor Kit. This program is so cool because they are reaching out to children that may not know anything about God. Its neat to see a common interest being utilized to bring people to Christ. So, I left the uSkate to head to the Gathering. This was an informal time for all the Young Professional groups to get together. It was nice to see people from my new Bible study again. I am looking forward to this Tuesday! I also saw a couple of the girls from my Sunday school class. So, I think I covered everything. What a great weekend!
