Winterfest 2010

Cliff had his first youth rally here a couple of weekends ago. When I asked him what he wanted me to say about it, all he could say was....It's finally over. He worked so hard and I really feel it went very well. Northside has not had hosted a youth rally in several years so we were so excited to have around 100 kids come. This is a very good turn out for the Northwest. We brought in Ike Graul from Portland as our main speaker. He is the minister at the PUMP church. He did a great job and the kids really seemed to respond to him well. I got to serve on the praise team which was a lot of fun but unfortunately had to call in a replacement for the last two worship times because I got sick. Cliff had great support from our church family....we had more than we needed for housing and really feel that we could not have put on this event without the support that was provided. Our good friend Camille took Aidan for the weekend and he was such a trooper for her considering that he was sick as well. All in all we were very pleased with the weekend and I know that Cliff is enjoying his rest now before preparing for Pump this summer and going back to school in a couple of months. Here are a few pics I got....my camera was being stupid so the lighting is the greatest but at least its something. The family pic was from the Valentines banquet where Cliff decided to get dressed up....:)
