Turnabout.



Turnabout. You might be wondering, what in the world is that? Well, it is an event that our Youth Group Worship leaders, aka Me, Nick, Andrea, Zak, Tyler, and our fellow adult leaders put together once a month. We have our typical youth group on Sunday nights but once out of those for youth groups a month we have what we call Turnabout. This is when we turn the gym into our youth room. We set up couches and comfy chairs, games, pool, basketball, Gloria Jean's Coffee!, and much much more. But that is just the fun stuff. Us worship Leaders are so blessed to be the ones who get to thank God through the wonderful gift of music. Our band plays at every turnabout event, and I always feel God is in the room when we are all there, singing together. What I love most about Turnabout, is that everyone around you is there for one sole purpose. We are all there to praise God. It is an amazing feeling to have people around you who love God and are following his word, and are going through the same struggles at school that we all have to face as christians everyday. Every turnabout when Pastor Adam speaks to us, I can't help but get emotional, when we watch the video clips, or when he is talking to us. God is amazing, and if you don't know him already, I'll pray for each and everyone of you that you will grow to know him and understand his everlasting love for you. No matter what you go through in life God will always be there holding your hand. God is my strength, my best friend, my life.
-Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. - Proverbs 3:5-6
