R SQUARED "GIG ALERT"
Week of September 2nd, 2012
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Week in WRAP
Welcome to September!!! After a visit from Hurricane Isaac, I know everyone is ready for a beautiful Labor Day. In our last GIG Alert, I was going on and on about new records that RSQAURED was breaking, well it happened again! This is how last Friday began...
So Noah calls me and says he has a group of students ready to go for Friday night. We agreed to all meet at the high school at 6:30 that evening. I was thinking to myself...okay we have a hurricane coming into town, the weather is going to be rainy, I will be surprised if we have anyone show. As I pulled up to the high school, I was turning left at the stop light and saw out of the corner of my eye a mob of green t-shirts. Yes, I said a mob! There were 13 students ready to go to the Christian Center! On top of that, five more met us at the Christian Center, making a new record of 18 people!!! Then, when we arrived at Culvers, I had hopes of filling up a corner booth for another group photo, but there was no way we would fit. This time, we had to put together five tables in order to take a group picture (yes, I said five tables)! Please check out the attached picture of us at Culvers. One of our friends posted this picture on their Facebook page along with the following quote,
God continues to bless this group every week. There are so many other things these high school students could be doing with their Friday nights, but they choose to come together as a family of friends. I am so thankful for them, their parents for letting them go with us, and most importantly God who continues to bless us with so many awesome individuals.
We will not be going out this Friday night due to a high school foot-ball game, but you are welcome to come out and support the Marching Raiders! Having a so GOOD you can HARDLY stand it week everyone!

"And friends are friends forever, if the Lord's the Lord of them. And a friend will not say never, cause the welcome will not end. Though it's hard to let you go, in the Father's hands we know. That a lifetime's not too long, to live as friends." -Michael W. Smith
