I spent my actual birthday at Impact, our church’s youth group that meets Sunday evenings.  After working alongside teens at Flower City Work Camp these last two years, I shouldn’t have been surprised when the Holy Spirit hit me and told me to ask about coming alongside the other youth leaders to serve in this dynamic ministry.  Our church has seen a strong growth in youth group attendance over the last few years.  About forty kids gather on Sunday evenings and each one has been uniquely created by God.  I want each of them to know how much Jesus loves them and hope to encourage and exhort each one of them.

And – it is also fun to see the Butler kids having fun.
