I’d love to hear some of your highlights from your summer! What was your favorite memory from the summer of 2010?

Here are some of my highlights:

Finishing up the Second Year of the Cadre, a ministry mentoring program with Jeanne Mayo. This was one of the greatest experiences of my life.

Chris Martin’s Wedding! I’m so happy for Chris and Danielle!

We had a blast on the 4th of July on Vanessa’s Boat!

Small Group Olympics at Revolution! Perfection (our group) won it all! I love my small group!

My big sisters (Christy Steidel’s) wedding! Now she’s Christy Crummy! It was such an amazing wedding!

We took our Operation Outreach to serve The Pittsburgh Project. We helped serve in their urban farming ministry. It was by far my favorite outreach we’ve done so far!

Vacation in Bar Harbor, Maine! I’m so grateful for the Steidel family! We’ve made some incredible memories in Bar Harbor!

James and Christine getting engaged in Maine! This was one for the books!

I had the hottest date there! The greatest part of my summer was getting to spend the majority of it with Laura. We’ve had an absolute blast together!

Last month we took students on our Outreach team at Rev to the Special Olympics to serve. It was an awesome time being able to bless all of the athletes! The highlight of the day was definitely getting to dance at the Special Olympics dance party. That is something that our team will never forget! Here is a highlight video from our day. There are some awesome clips of everybody dancing!
