I don’t really know the pastor, and while I’m sure he has good intentions, I completely disagree with his request. I actually think it is a move that will [...]

Our Youth Pastor (Todd Looney) recently took our teens on a retreat to Camp Victory in Zumbro Falls, Mn. Watching the video (below) reminded me how the moments that they shared are so much more than a simple trip. I remember, growing up in church, how moments like these got me out of my comfort [...]

Swagger Wagon Church
Posted on 14. Aug, 2010 by frank.
I don’t know how in the world I missed this party this summer. Toyota dropped this video on YouTube in May and I just saw it for the first time tonight. The commercial brings a little fun to the minivan and some stressful parenting issues. I like to think we can do something similar with [...]
