Upward Soccer Camp

Graeme & Blaire Rose are playing soccer this week with a camp our church is running. Upward is an evangelistic sports ministry specifically designed for K5 through sixth grade boys and girls that promotes salvation, character, and self-esteem in every child. In addition to basketball, Upward offers cheerleading, soccer and flag football programs to complete your Upward ministry. Upward provides opportunities for all believers, no matter what denomination, to become meaningfully involved in the ministries of your church. They will have the opportunity to pray for your program, coach a team, referee a game, share a devotion, and develop relationships in order to open avenues of ministry to the people of your community who will participate in your program.

Both kids are having a great time and it has been fun to see them have a good time on the soccer field as well as just hanging out with their coaches.

What summer (or otherwise) camps do your kids participate in?

Forbidden Book of the Bible

I just started attending a new class at church taught by some friends of mine. They are using a curriculum by Tommy Nelson and it has the makings for a great study. Most that know Duncan and I know that we have a passion for helping people achieve positive results in their relationships. We have pursued training in marriage prep and have had the awesome privilege of working with 6 couples in the past 3 years. I am excited to gain more insight about relationship training as I attend this course.

Song of Solomon Study

Used and loved throughout the world, the Song of Solomon series teaches the Biblical design for relationships. For both singles and married couples, this exegetical study follows Solomon's relationship from attraction to dating and courtship, marriage and intimacy to resolving conflict, keeping romance alive, and committing to the end. This 10th Anniversary Edition (released in 2005) updates Tommy Nelson's original study with updated teaching and added features.
