I believe the statement immediately preceding this shot was, “Raise your hand if you want to return to Armour Up next week.”

Even Will Washington, himself, must look forward to returning because THIS.

Do I dare zoom in?

Disregard that the kids are all pressed up against the window.  Check out Will’s arm.  If we all of a sudden decide to shorten our ministry’s name to ‘ARM UP’ you’ll know why.

All kidding aside, we had an absolute BLAST last night at Arm Up week 5!  Click here for a brief clip of Will’s message.

Oh and the kids pressed against the window in the earlier pic?  That’s what we do when they don’t act right.  Or was it that they were watching a DONUT EATING CONTEST?  Cause you know who might raise an arm for THAT?  Yours truly.  Kudos to Will and Nathan for always coming up with fun games that have nothing to do with Jesus.

 Seriously, these guys are totally SOLD OUT for the Lord and don’t let anyone tell you any differently.

 Speaking of SOLD OUT.  The Red, White & AU T-shirts are ALL GONE!  Thank you for helping those fly off our shelves.  Please be on the lookout for our next style to arrive within a few weeks.  Here’s a little hint of what they might look like…

We had tons of kids say their memory verse, listen intently to the message (“Because God is everything, WE WILL lack for nothing”), have lots of fun with their friends, and possibly eat some donuts last night.  In a world full of increasing discord, it was incredibly comforting to watch the harmony amongst (or among?  Where is my english teacher when I need her?) the kids last night.

Oh wait.  I meant to post these instead.
