Dana and I just got back from spending a great weekend with a bunch of our jr. high kids at an annual event called M.U.U.U.C.E. (Most Ultimate Unbelievable Urban Camping Experience) hosted by our denomination. During the three days we spent some time at an indoor water park, Valleyfair amusement park, Minnesota Twins game, and of course hanging out building relationships. The general sessions were based on Ephesians 5:15-16 and encouraged students to make wise decisions.

Here are the videos and pictures of the trip:

While we were there I met a fellow youth ministry blogger, Joshua Johnson, formerly of juniorhigh blogs, now at Just Joshua. He’s the guy in the yellow below, along with my wife, Dana, in green and a couple of our jr. high girls.
