Dear youth and parents,
I'm getting ready to meet up with Daniel Terry to make final preparations for this weekend's Soul Brothers intergenerational retreat for guys. We're looking forward to a great experience with the group looking at male spirituality as youth and adults at Riverbend Retreat Center in Glen Rose. I'll be back for The Search and youth groups on Sunday evening after we return.
Also, please be aware that in Sunday school classes and youth groups this Sunday our youth will be taking time to talk about the earthquake in Haiti and learn together about ways we can help. If you'd like to work together to bring hope and healing to a devastated people, we hope to see you on Sunday morning or evening this weekend.
Grace and Peace,
Russ
