NO EXTREME

Because of Thanksgiving next week Extreme will not be meeting on Tuesday November 25th. We will meet back again on December 2nd...See you then!

Meet Charlie part 3

It took a little convincing, but Charlie came with Extreme to our summer camp called "The Trip". Our theme was about getting LOST in God. On July 19th Charlie came to us and said that he wanted to give his life to God for the first time! His life truly had changed and God used us. In August Charlie continued to follow God's plan for his life and was baptized at Grace. God is continuing to change and form a boy with great abilities and gifts. Charlie has NOT arrived, his mom will re-assure you of that, but he has come a long way. Charlie is one of the changed lives of the students at Extreme.

Charlie came that next Tuesday and "Stubborn" was right! "This is boring", "give me some food", "I'm not coming back" all were quotes that came from Charlie. However, after several weeks of continuing to come he began to open up and soften a little. He made friends very quickly and became more and more outgoing. Weeks and months went by and his attitude, behavior and demeanor began to change. Not just at Extreme, but also at home. It became evident pretty quickly that Charlie was a leader and people wanted to follow him.

December 8th, 2007 I had the priveledge of meeting Andrea Wright at a staff Christmas party. She was a soft-spoken, sweet, friendly lady. As our conversation progressed she began asking questions about our Junior High program for her 6th grade son. I explained a little about Extreme but invited her to bring her son to check it out. She made it clear that he was a "stubborn" boy, but she would make him come.

Manly Campout


We just walked through the first ever "Manly Campout" at Grace for Extreme. It was cold, but it didn't snow! A lot of football, a lot of capture-the-flag, and a lot of fun! This was a simple chance to get away from everything and just be a junior high "man"
