Refuge Blog

Everyone....lets play "Simon Says". Simon says check out the new and improved Refuge blog. For those of you not in the know, Refuge is the high school ministry of Healing Place Church. Simon says you can find what Refuge is all about, what the mission of Refuge is, cool pics, news about upcoming events, and pocket-sized nuggets from Refuge Pastor Jason Laird that you can take with you wherever you go. Simon says if you don't visit this blog you will lose "Simon says"....because that's what happens when you don't do what Simon says.

Refuge on the Road

This past weekend the Refuge band and Refuge pastor, Jason Laird, had an opportunity to travel and be a part of a winter retreat in Shreveport, LA hosted by Calvary Baptist Church. It was an incredible weekend. In all, about 250 young people attended the retreat.

God showed up and showed off in a powerful way. It was so refreshing to see God at work in the lives of these students. The theme of the weekend was "Ignite"...to ignite a passion in our soul for Him. Without a doubt, the fire of God fell and that is exactly what happened in these student's lives. So many precious lives were changed this past weekend and by God's grace and mercy more souls have been won for the Kingdom.

A big shout out to the Refuge band...you guys did a phenomenal job. Your dedication and discipline in your walk with God is evident in your lives and in your worship. I love you guys.

Christmas '06

I would have posted sooner, but I lost my camera which held the pictures from the holidays. Christmas '06 was the best. It was Noah's first Christmas and, as you can see from the pictures, he was lovin it. Of course, he wasn't interested in the toy, just the box the toy came in.
