Hanging out with Student Pastors

Today has seemed like a day of hanging out with youth workers and student pastors from all different walks of life. Last night I was in Greenville speaking at a church there and I had a chance to see what was happening in their church. It was cool to see how many adults that Pendleton Street has involved in it's ministry. Even in the absence of a student pastor, the adults have really stepped up.
Then for lunch I met up with some of the guys from Chasen, Josh Trammel from Tri County Worship, Bryan Holder from Marathon, Jeff Garrison from Piedmont FBC. We ate at Pizza House in Powdersville. It is quickly becoming one of my favorite places to eat. It was really cool to hear some of the challenges each is facing and hear about the cool things about to take place. Chasen heads to the studio in the next few weeks and will likely be on a big time tour this time next year. Josh is seeing some cool things take place in Seneca at the "Bubble", Bryan in facing a great problem and that is where to put all of the students. Jeff is doing some cool things in Piedmont and he is totally volunteer.
And finally tonight Melissa ate supper with Joel and Kristen from FBC Williamston. I'll be speaking down there in a couple of weeks. They were heading out to a student ministry conference tommorrow. We also ate with the Baileys(Kristen's parents and good friends of ours).
And finally, right now I am about to go back over my message for Sunday morning at Marathon. If you are in the upstate, come on out this Sunday morning. The service times are 9:00 a.m., 10:15 a.m., and 11:30 a.m.. If you can't make it out this week, I think it will be on TV within the next couple of weeks on the WB channel at 9:30 on Sunday Mornings. Hope to see you there.
