Man, the last week or so has been crazy! It has been an emotional roller coaster ride to say the least. On September 2nd, I got the call that Youth Pastors dread getting. The call that informs you a student in your ministry has been killed in a car accident. Jesse Marie Arnold was on her way to work when she was ran off the road by a truck which caused her to lose control of her car. Her car hit a tree and she was killed instantly. It was a very difficult week dealing with that loss. This is the first student I have lost in my 11 years of ministry. My prayers go out to her friends and family. Please remember them during this time.
On a lighter note, we had our Music Fest this past Sunday and it was a huge success! WE had tons of people show up, I haven't heard the final count, but it is safe to say it was way over 3000!!! It was a blast getting back to what Marathon does so well, big events that reach out to the community. It was awesome seeing the big stage, the food vendors, 11 carnival type rides, rock climbing walls, huge slides and people all over the place having a great time. We got to do all this and share about Jesus Christ!!! It was a blast. In other news, I found out the other day that our student band made it onto Switchfoot's official website.(www.switchfoot.com) Last fall we did a series called the "Best Sex Ever" and the band did a cover song by Switchfoot called "Amateur Lovers". We videoed it and put it on Youtube and apparently someone from Switchfoot found it and put it on the front page of the website. You should click on the link above and go check it out.
Keepin' it Real,
Bryan
