Michael and Elizabeth Norwood are on the team at The Life Church of Memphis. They serve as youth pastors and assistants to Pastors John and Leslie Siebeling. The love to see people live the live that God designed for them to live.
Hopefully the Memphis Grizzlies have taken another step towards building a successful professional basketball team by acquiring O.J. Mayo from the Minnesota Timberwolves for Kevin Love. The Grizz have a long road to travel but I’m sure that road will be a lot easier with the support of the hometown.
Well…it’s over! It was AMAZING! So much fun, spirit, and hang time. Best part, God showed up in a big way. There’s so much more I want to say. Stay tuned…
Today I got to spend some time with two of my favorite people, Tiffany Ferrari and Parker Van Blaricom. Tiff came up to the office and helped with a couple of things and when Parker got out of school, we ended up goofing off in my office taking pics on the mac.
Tiffany just finished her sophomore year at the University of Memphis. She’s a great addition to our team, she serves sunday morning in the nursery and helps BJ and I out big time in Axis. We are actually training her to RUN the service (make sure we start on time, right people are in place etc). She’s doing a great job!
Parker just finished his sophomore year at FACS. There’s so much I could say about Parker. I’ve known him since he was 9 and nerdy. He’s still nerdy but he’s earned some ‘cool points’ over the years though. I’ve loved getting to watch him grow into a strong young leader. I love being around him and I love when he quizzes me about church life. He’s gonna do great things for God and I think he has what it takes to be TPC.
ONE month until we launch our first COLLISION summercamp! I’m excited! Our team has a lot of work to do in prep but we know it’s all worth it. We’re doing a great series in Axis on Wednesday nights called “Turning Points.” We got the idea for the series from Pastor Dino’s book, which is called, “Turning Points”
It’s a great book and the series has been great for our teenagers. Over the past two years that I’ve been involved in youth ministry I’ve gotten to witness summercamp become “turning points” for many teenagers. There’s nothing like it! I love it and can’t wait to see what God does this year. If you’re reading this blog, and you’re a teenager at The Life Church of Memphis, and you haven’t signed up for camp, go download a form ASAP. If you’re a youth pastor and you are looking for a local church based camp to send bring your youth group, hit me up. We’d love to have you come be apart of COLLISION.
