A few notes from Shelterwood: our marketing team is doing a fantastic job of bringing in new families. After an intake this morning we are up to 27. Another family is scheduled for Friday bringing us to 28. It's a little stressful as the lone Case Manager handling 28 kids but I am thankful that our vision is slowing unfolding. Next week is our semi-annual Beyond Week. We are sending one group to El Paso, TX for a Hispanic missions outreach and the rest (including myself) are staying in KC and participating in serve projects with local non-profits organizations. I am not a team leader (which is a good thing) so I don't have details yet. The inaugural Shelterwood basketball league wraps up tonight. The 4th and final week games. We will resume with a volleyball league in early March following Spring Break.

First but not last

Lots happening lately on campus. We had free tickets to the Casting Crowns concert at the Sprint Center in downtown KC yesterday. Both houses attended, over 40 in all. One of our newest residents is a close friend of the lead singer and so the band sent a slew of tickets. The Wednesday night inter mural basketball league has created quite the buzz. Great games, trash talking, lots of smiles and shortage of breath. Senior directors, kids, teachers, staff and leadtimers are all involved. It is a glimpse of the Kansas City property vision...another first but not last. Our chapel season is going strong. In our last service, one of the Shelterwood residents shared a personal testimony. For chapel, having one of the kids share was another first . Lastly, this weekend the parents of our Leadtime students are attending the annual family weekend set aside specifically for that program. Kicks off tonight with dinner and a "talent show" and concludes Sunday morning with a worship service. Shelterwood Director, Todd Ellet will be sharing preceded by worship led by myself the the Killer B's.
