Well I am sitting here on sunday night reflecting on a wonderful week of summer camp with the youth!
It was a great week of seeing a generation coming into there calling to be a REFORMATION GENERATION! To take a stand for righteousness and building a foundation on the word of God to see a SHIFT towards repentance and REAL CHANGE For our Country! This is the most important Generation in History, so lets get behind them, pray for them and encourage them in there important destiny!
I love Shady Grove Church because we believe in this generation and we want to get behind them, because they are the HOPE FOR THE FUTURE!!
check out a video of the last night where we knighted all the young men to be who God called them to be
After an amazing week I can only get even more excited about this week!!!
Here is what is coming up
The Gathering on Tuesday Night - Join us for a night of worship and special speaker Jon Dunn as he speaks on how to prepare for the season of Courtship! It is truly going to be an amazing night!
1829 - Expect the unexpected as we are fresh off of Camp and who knows whats going to happen, all i Know is it is going to be crazy and you DO NOT WANT TO MISS IT!!!!!
Hope to see you this week!

Everything you need to know about This Sunday!
This Sunday is our bring one service/church cookout/softball sunday extravaganza celebration!!!
Ok that is not the official title, but there is so much going on I decided to write about it so you are in the know.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What do I bring?
- All you need to bring is your friends, family, co-workers and anyone else you can fit in your mini-van! All the food, drinks and fun will be provided. Just bring at least one person who could use a great time of community fellowship. You can also bring a lawn chair or blanket if you would like and if you want to bring a homeade desert for the desert competition then go for it!
Oh and as always bring a smile on your face and a good attitude, ready to have a blast!
2. Is there a service?
Yes!!!! It will not be a normal service as in the time frame, but we will have a time of praise and worship and a short evangelistic message on being dependent upon Jesus! And yes we are praying for salvation for this morning! We will also honor all of our softball players, coaches and especially the softball committee that keeps it going every year. The service will be short but POWERFUL!
Directly after the service we will go to the House of Prayer Grounds for the picnic and festivities.
3. What kind of Festivities will there be
Great Question. We will have bounce houses for the kids, a dunk booth where you can dunk, you guessed it, ME and this really cool guy named Jon Dunn. I know you all want to throw something at me, this is your chance. There will also be a Hot Dog Eating Competition in light of the 4th of July Holiday. There will also be door prizes for everyone who gets a plate of food (hot dog, hamburger, chips and drink) and a desert competition with a sweet prize for the winner. We will also have our City Life Kids Truck out with good music and much more!
What time will it be over
Service starts at 10 and the cookout will go until around 1:00
4. What do I wear?
SHORTS! It is going to be hot, so please dress comfortably and casual. This is your chance to wear shorts to church, even though some of you do anyway which is cool by the way. Please dress modestly though, no swimwear and please wear a shirt guys! Ha, could you imagine if someone showed up with no shirt.
5. What if it is too hot?
The good news is it is supposed to be a little cooler this weekend, but we will still have plenty of cover with tents and trees and we will have misters out. The Lounge will be open in the House of Prayer for those who cant take the heat. There will be plenty of bottled water which I encourage you to drink plenty of!
Well I think that's it! I know this blog has alot of exclamation points, but that is because I am so excited!!!
See ya Sunday
Blessings

Im back to the Blog thing!
Ok after an extended vacation from blogging I am making an attempt to pick it back up. There is so much going on that I feel it is necessary and I have too much to say and not enough places to say it. So here goes nothing, or everything.
I thought this would be a good chance to give you all a heads up for whats going on this week.
On wed. night we are excited to have Mezmur Zemichael from Ethiopia as our special speaker. Mezmur is a powerful evangelist from Ethiopia who will impart the Spirit of God. We are expecting God to do amazing things on Wed. Night. Because we want everyone to be there we are not going to have the Gathering's regular service on Tuesday night this week. For those who want to hang out on Tuesday night still we will meet at the church at 7 and be going to Buffalo Wild Wings for 40 cent wings baby and a good time of fellowship! And possibly for those interested we will see a 9:00 showing of Wolverine. This is for those who still want to hang out on tuesday
BUT EVERYONE NEEDS TO BE HERE WED NIGHT!!!!
We also have Jesus Culture at Shady Grove Church May 22nd -24th! You can register at www.jesusculture.org
On wed. Night May 20th we will be having a pre jesus culture rally for our Encounter Service with a night of worship and ministry!
Thats it for now. Looking forward to seeing you all this week that will be around and for eveyone else I'll see you when I see you and I look forward to it!

What a week!!!
This has been one of the best, fullfilling weeks of my life. I just want to testify to the amazing good God we serve! I find myself more excited and expectant than I have been in years and it seems to open doors that I could never open. In the last week, I have been able to preach in our Sunday service, at the tuesday night cfni service, celebrate 7 years of amazing marriage with the most amazing woman ever, be apart of our annual sky ranch weekend retreat that was one of the best we have ever had, way to go nathan, and be apart of what I believe is the beginning of a fresh move of God here at Shady Grove this past sunday morning. I am excited and one of the reasons is VISION!!! If you have no vision, you will have no expectancy, and you can have no excitement about your life! There is vision that God wants to give you for your personal life and for your church - It has to come from the place of worship though! That is where God gives us vision, when we are worshipping and exalting and loving Him!
Anyway it is exciting to live in these days where the gospel of the Kingdom is going to be preached to the whole world, and I do not want to miss being apart of this end time Harvest!!
Don't miss out
Josh
Oh yeah, this tuesday night Marvin Slaton will be preaching and sharing in the Gathering. It is going to be awesome! Hope to see you there.

A day of History
I have to admit that I am a proud American on a day like today where we celebrate one of the the greatest History Makers in the world - Martin Luther King Jr. who delivered one of the greatest, moving speeches ever given about having a Dream, if you haven't read his speech lately here is a taste
I have a dream today.
"I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together. This is our hope. This is the faith with which I return to the South. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hope. With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day. This will be the day when all of God's children will be able to sing with a new meaning, "My country, 'tis of thee, sweet land of liberty, of thee I sing. Land where my fathers died, land of the pilgrim's pride, from every mountainside, let freedom ring."
There is much more just google I have a dream speech!
And tomorrow we will see what could be another African American who has the oppurtunity to be one of the greatest History Makers of all time be sworn in as our next president. I wonder if he will give a speech that will truly prophecy the future like MLK did, I for one will be watching and praying, and although I have many disagreements with policies I am excited to celebrate one of the fullfillments of a speech given years ago by Martin Luther King and to hear a speech from our first african american president!!!
If you are not doing anything tomorrow night, THE GATHERING will have a special night of worship, watching some of the address, and praying for our country. Anyone is invited and I believe God is going to move on our hearts in a special way!
Hope to see you there
Blessings and Happy MLK day!
Josh
