COT:

Prayers for Butter Knife for guidance and direction in his job, as he and the rest of the school deals with a difficult time. And prayers for the student of the school who is fighting for his life right now. Prayers for Trojan, for support, wisdom, and guidance. Remember fellas, you have these great HIM’s surrounding you, shouldering these burdens with you. As we think about and deal with our burdens everyday, and feel the weight of oppression, let us remember the cross, and sacrifice Christ made for us, by defeating our oppressor, by suffering shame, and separation from God on the cross on our behalf. Every trial and test we face in this life, he has already taken them for us.

Remember the official start of Destination AO at Overlook Park is this Monday morning at 5:30! CSAUP at House of York on Memorial Day. PA Convergence is coming up, and shirt order is ready. The link is on Band.

Thanks for following my quite silly lead today! So great to see the weird faces we were getting from people walking by!

~Bunyan…(I mean King Arthur) Out!
