This past weekend we (the youth) took at trip to Southern Nazarene University for the annual Regional Extravaganza. We had teens participate in a variety of events including, quizzing, basketball, flag football and even dodgeball.  We had the opportunity to worship with the band, Bailey, and see performances by OneTimeBlind.  If you have never seen OneTimeBlind, check them out here.  

We also had some fun outings that included riding in a fire truck at Warr Acres Fire Station, drinking the world's best Dr. Pepper at Tim's Drive-in and seeing over 500 types of assorted Sodas at Pop's at Lake Arcadia.  

We all got to know each other a little more on this trip, maybe a little too well.  It was confirmed that boys do truly stink, smell, reek, or any other synonym of smell. Check out some pics from the trip below. 

Dear LHNAZers or Living Hopians,

We want to provide you with a way to keep up with the happenings of Living Hope in an interactive format.  This blog will be dedicated to upcoming events, pictures, pastoral wisdom and other interesting tidbits. 

For instance, make sure you check out the VBS form to get your kids registered and send the link to all your friends. 

Can you tell me who this is?

We as a staff really do want to see you involved in some sort of ministry here at Living Hope.  I (Brock) preached on the importance and responsibility of using our God-given spiritual gifts.  Not sure what those are? Ask me.  I have an assessment (a nice word for test, but this one you cannot fail) that can help you determine your top spiritual gifts.  These giftings aren't meant to be used to impact God's Kingdom.  That can only be done through a commitment to serving from everyone in the Living Hope Community. Pray with us on how God can continue or begin to use you in Living Hope and our surrounding community.

I cannot forget the last interesting tidbit.  As an Okie, I am rather fond of a team named the Thunder and so far this postseason they have run through the Dallas Mavericks and are well on their way through the LA Lakers.  All I can say is watch and enjoy.  Oh and Thunder UP! 

Did you see how I did that?  All types in one post! I managed to get upcoming events, pictures, pastoral wisdom and interesting tidbits.  They will not all look like this but they will be some combination of the four. Let us know how this could best serve you in the comments below.
