WI Kids Camp 2011
Kids Camp is an annual summer camp the WI District of the Wesleyan Church puts on for students who have completed grades 3, 4 and 5. It is always a phenomenal week of evangelism and discipleship with campers. It’s amazing how being removed from “normal” life for a week really helps immerse students in the […]
Skate City Trip | Followers (video)

Heath and I @ Skate City
It’s not often that I get to hang out with Heath Davis on one of our children’s ministry events, but this past Sunday he came along with the Followers as we headed down to Skate City to do some roller skating. Some students handed us some mustaches and snapped a picture. My mustache didn’t stick […]
Cancellations
It’s tricky, cancellations. I’ve had to do it twice this school year. The first was back in November. We were scheduled to take the Followers students (grades 3-5) about an hour south of Hayward to Skate City (roller skating rink) and it had snowed considerably the night before (and was still snowing). The decision was […]
Planet Wisdom 2010
This past weekend (Dec 3-4), we took some middle and high school students to the PlanetWisdom conference in the Twin Cities. The theme this year was “A God You Can Know” which was a teenage version of a class on the theology of God: a look at the character of God. Mark Matlock, Zach Hunter, […]

Trunk or Treat 2010
This evening, October 31st, Hayward Wesleyan Church held its 5th annual Trunk or Treat from 4-6pm. It was a blast! It’s funny, every year the week leading up to our Trunk or Treat event, I wonder if anyone is going to come, or if the last year was the best and it’s just going to go […]
CORE 24 Retreat | Fall 2010 – Reflection
Loretta and I put on a CORE group (youth) retreat for Friday, Sept 24 – Saturday, Sept 25, 2010. We call it CORE 24 because it is literally 24 hours that we are on the retreat. This was our second CORE retreat, and we have found that the simple act of “retreating” and devoting some […]
Hayride @ the Yoder’s Event (video)
Last Sunday evening (10.10.10), we took the Followers (Kindergarten through 5th grade) out to the Yoder’s property and had a hayride available for half the group, while the other half ran through the cornfield, bobbed for apples, stuffed a scarecrow, and ran around. Then we switched groups. Then we had a campfire with smores and […]
Fall Lock-In 2010 (video)
Last Friday evening (10.1.10) we had a Lock-In with our middle school students (grades 6-8) from 9:00p-7:00a. Doors opened at 8:30p and after we checked everyone in, we went over the rules of the Lock-In. Here is a run-down of what the evening’s activities were: 9:30p – Dodgeball games 10:30p – Snacks and free time […]
Spray Painting a Van
I don’t recommend this, but it was sure fun! This past weekend we had our first Followers Adventure Outing here at the church. Angie Lundsten and her husband, Tigger, came up with some amazingly messy and creative “activities” to play. One activity was a bowlful of chocolate-soaked, maple-syrup-dipped, rubber bands and a subsequent rubber band […]
