Update from Jellyland

Hey all...

What a busy, busy, busy time of the year. Here we are in the last week of February already! Yikes! I just wanted to update a few things for you, just in case you are wondering:


1. We started nTune, shiloh's new contemporary service last sunday night. It went well... and I know that God is going to move and use this service.

2. We are preparing for Easter which seems really early this year. Is Christmas in November too?!

3. I have continued to practice and play my guitar for worship. I don't know what the youth group and nTune would look like if God hadn't motivated me. He works in crazy ways I guess.

4. Ben and Amanda Capshaw are expecting a baby any time now. I am really excited for them. (This will be the only mention of babies in this post)

5. Somehow, the all-nighter spirits got together to play a nasty trick on me. Last Friday, a sponsor and myself took 13 teens to play lazer tag in Ft. Wayne. It was fun, but it started at 12:30am and got over around 3:30! This week is the disrict all-nighter and it goes from 7p-7a...so essentially from 5p-9a...I'm working 5 to 9 and what a way to do it!

6. I have been growing a beard in support of national beard growing month. I am ready to shave it, even though there isn't much there...sniff...sniff.

7. Indiana Basketball has been a mess lately. I am glad that there was some resolution...now we wait and see if it was enough. Go Hoosiers!

8. I am looking forward to the Big Ten Tournament (3/14) because I get to see my brother Kerry and go watch IU! I need a little break and I think that this will do until...

9. Myrtle Beach baby! I am looking with longing eyes at June 7-14th! I cannot wait to go to the beach!

10. I am ready for spring. I love winter and the cold but this is just overboard!

Hope this finds you well. Later

Boy am I glad today!

I STRONGLY DISLIKE the New England Patriots. I don't like their coach, the Quarterback, the players...Randy Moss and his stupid fish move or whatever it is, I don't like the media coverage of the "undefeated" team that never happened! I am so glad that they didn't win. This was the greatest Super Bowl game I've ever witnessed. It was almost better and more rewarding than last year...almost. I am thankful for Eli Manning and his humbleness in victory which would have been the same reaction if he'd have lost. And for Plaxico Burress's reaction and emotions after thanking God.

ntune-coming sundays @ 630pm (Feb. 24th)

Do you pray? I hope so...I would love for you to just throw up a prayer for this:


We are starting a new service at Shiloh!

What: nTune - a modern worship setting with relavent messages that speak to your life
When: Sundays @ 630 pm (Starting Feb. 24th)
Who: All who want to be a part of a community of believers that are seeking to daily look more like Jesus

We are going to have a "coffee house" set up with different drinks and a relaxed atmosphere.

Please pray that God will use this for His glory.

Thanks

Youth Pastor and Spouse Renewal Weekend 08

Hey. Just thought I would give you an update. For those of you who are close to us (not geographically) you know that the past month and a half has been a rough one for the Jellison's on the North side of Indiana. Things with family, dogs, and the church had taken a toll on Sarah and me. We were coming down to the nub of our emotions and needed a break. Boy did we get one! This past weekend could not have come at a better time. We definitely got renewed and refreshed just over the course of two and a half days. We got to hang out with Ben and Amanda (we really should move closer to each other) and with the rest of the Indiana North brotherhood. Then we were able to go to Level 13 for sunday morning worship (this is our districts church plant in Ft. Wayne). What an amazing weekend. Great times were had by all.
