Love Chico Sunday

This past Sunday 19 churches in our area didn't have services. Instead we went out into our community to serve, together. We had what was called "Love Chico". There were over 90 projects including schools, non-profits, parks, nursing homes etc. and almost 3,000 volunteers. The project we gardening, cleaning, painting, construction, really anything that needed help getting done. This was a great way to unite the Body of Christ and serve in our community. We had a great time serving as a family with others from other churches. We went to Chico Eastside Little League to clean up and help on projects. After the last storm we had there were lots of downed branches so we cleaned that up, we painted and just did general cleanup. We figured this was a great place to go considering we practically live there in the Spring. We worked from 8:45 to about noon. Then everyone met at the Downtown plaza for worship and testimonies

Happy Birthday Valor!!!

We survived the first teenage year! Valor is 14!!!! We can't believe it, it has gone so fast. We are so proud of him and the young man that he is becoming! Valor has grown in so many ways this past year. It is so much fun to have "adult" conversations with him about world, social and religious issues. This past year he played baseball, indoor soccer and roller hockey. He also continues to play is bass guitar and write songs. He has continued to lead the bible study at school, with his friend Joe, at lunch time. In school he is doing great in 8th grade and is taking geometry on line for math. We are looking forward to more "adventures" this year. Love you Valor!!
