This year we are going to try something new that I am very excited about. We are going to build an Amor house in Puerto Penasco, Sonora (aka Rocky Point) as a team of families. You may have been involved with building one of these houses before, especially if you are involved with Pusch Ridge. I have been a part of building four of them. One thing I've noticed is that families that go together have an amazing experience of laboring, laughing, and learning together (I didn't even mean for those to all begin with "l"). We are still working on a final price. We will be staying at an RV park on the beach where we will eat, play and have a time of worship and devotions under the stars in the evenings. This is where we will reflect upon God's desire for us as families and as His ambassadors of good news to the poor.

I really hope that many of you can come. Remember, this is a family trip, especially for HS and MS families. It is fine for only one parent to go, but all students are to come with a parent. A student may come as an "adopted child" with another family if that is necessary. Please email me if your family is interested in going, even if you're not sure yet. We need to get a rough idea of how many will be joining us.

XEE is a curriculum for understanding and sharing the essential elements of Christianity. Beginning on August 24th we will be learning the concepts from XEE during our regular Sunday gathering. It will be set up as an 11 week series, and students have the option of becoming more involved and doing the outside of class application as well. We will pass a clipboard for students to sign up for the in-depth course this Sunday morning.
