Kickoff

Last Wednesday at our youth group kickoff we had 111 teens! This year we once again had a football theme which included tailgating in our backyard before service, the craziest fan and other giveaways. We also had a special speaker, Keith Elias, who is a former NY Giants football player (he also played for the Colts for a little too - Sissy and fam will appreciate that). 12 teens raised their hand signifying that they had trusted Christ as their Savior!

Side note: There is a website called Cutest Blog on the Block (click here - click on free backgrounds on left side) that has backgrounds to make your blog all cutie! The directions are supposed to be simple and easy to install but for some reason I am having trouble doing it. Anyway, there are so many cute backgrounds and if anyone figures out how it is done easily, please please share with me your knowledge.

Hey! I just changed my layout using Cutest Blog. I had some trouble at first, but then figured it out. You need to make sure you 1st change the background to the blogger choice "minima." Then follow the steps listed at Cutest Blog. You are adding an html code, but not to the template section. You are adding it in layout. If you need more help, your sister has my email address. Good Luck!!
