Cedar Point
Velocity goes to cedar point every year…and it’s always a blast.
check out this short video from our recent trip (shot, edited, exported…all on the iPhone 4)
What makes you happy?
we started a new series of talks in Velocity entitled “Happy.” here’s our “bumper” video for this past week
NorthRidge Brighton-Howell

i love being apart of a church that gets it.
not exactly sure what “it” is..
ya know, the feeling when you walk in the church building and there’s a holy expectation.
something huge is going on.
well, northridge is no exception.
a year ago we launched northridge saline. a video-campus in the saline area
this year we’re launching northridge brighton-howell. a video-campus in the…yea, you get it.
our vision is simple: we want TONS of people to discover Jesus, develop in Him, and experience Him in their everyday life
so this is just one way we’re reaching the “TONS” of people
if you’re in the brighton-howell area, make sure to check us out
Comedy Night @ Velocity
this past sunday we brought 321 Improv to NorthRidge.
they seriously had everyone in the room crying from laughter.
this was our 3rd annual comedy night, and it was the group’s 3rd time coming
we just like them a lot.
this also doubled as an “8th grade sneak peak” event
in two weeks, on June 20, the 8th graders will become freshman in high school
this event was to open up velocity to them…
simply so they wouldn’t be totally freaked out when they came on June 20


this kid had some serious fashion sense…we were almost wearing the same thing.

here’s to a good laugh.
not your average friday night
most people aren’t youth pastors
so most people don’t spend their friday nights with junior high students
94 of them to be exact
rustproof hosted what we called “destination unknown”
we split the students up into 4 teams…and sent them in four buses to complete 4 challenges
first team back to the church with all four challenges complete won the race (think of “amazing race”)
here are few pics from the evening



(notice the student bottom left covering her ears due to the screams)


the winning team! (below)

and here were the runner ups…



this event, for us, is a bridge event for our 5th graders. we “promote” 5th graders to middle school on June 20…so this is a “pre-RustProof” event to get them acquainted with everything.
love that I get to do this
my new job
not sure how I feel about it.
Dodgebowl 2010
at velocity, we hosted our first annual dodgebowl tournament
it was a success.
we had 17 teams
2 courts
4 referrees
enough hot dogs and burgers to feed a small army
and of course, matching outfits
the winning team…”patches”
with their coach…Patches, who brought his own bag of wrenches
(no wrenches were thrown…really hard)
love my job
