Gregg was in the House!

To all you NFC youth....thank you!

It was really cool to hang out with you guys in Sunday School yesterday. Sometimes, I'm not able to quite say everything just the way I wish it could be said. I wanted to meet with you for a couple of reasons:

• So you know I respect you and like you
• To tell you that I feel honored to have known many of you over most of your lives
• So you hear that we in the wider church want you to be a part of the whole community, when you have that desire
• To say that I'm always available if you have questions, ideas, or frustrations about how we as a church are trying to serve Jesus

I love our church, and realize how much the people there have shaped my life. I pray for you all to have that kind of an experience: to be a part of a community that points you to Jesus and shapes you in great ways. When I look at you as a group, I see people who have tremendous gifts and the ability to shape whatever things you are a part of in powerful ways. May you let God use you, and find ways to serve Jesus.
