Rapid City’s Sam’s Club has a special way of stating the obvious.  I took this pic while we were picking up stuff for Valapalooza, our Valentine’s Day event this weekend.

What a fun night! There were over 300 students in attendance for free food, inflatables, music, and the Gospel message (with several decisions for Christ)!

Here’s some pics from the event.  Pay no attention to the guy in the “fat suit”…

Students from Central, Stevens, West, South, Sturgis, and Belle Fourche schools are featured in this video. They got up an hour early to gather around their school’s flag poles and pray for our nation and their peers.  So awesome!

Next week we’ll be starting a new student message series called “LIFE ON PURPOSE: 5 Reasons to Live Life Loud”.  We’ll be talking about:

• Reaching Out to Your Friends (Genesis 1:27),

• Making Significant Connections (Genesis 2:18),

• Growing in Your Faith (Genesis 2:7),

• Serving in Ministry (Genesis 1:28-30), and

• Honoring God in All That You Do (Genesis 2:2-3).

Such an awesome way to start out the new school year; it’s gonna be grand!
