The Merge News Letter

¿Qué Paso Mergers?

Hopefully this week’s newsletter finds you in good spirits.  Make sure you guys are exercising caution out there on the roads this week.  With all the snow we’ve gotten it is very important to take your time, be aware of your surroundings and make sure you get to your destinations safely.

Last weekend was action packed.  Midnight oil on Friday followed by Joe Dumars on Saturday.  Midnight Oil was a powerful experience.  The presence was definitely there and the prayers so poignant.  Led by Pastor Jaughn with contributions from Merge Leaders Aaron Jackson and Alysha Robinson; we stood in the gap for our generation and warred in the spirit (no pun intended).

Some were skeptical about Joe Dumars after we were forced to cancel the Fire & Ice trip, but it didn’t take long before skepticism gave way to belief and great fun.  Saturday we traveled to Shelby Twp to hang out at the Bayou Adventure Center.  We started on the high ropes course.  There was an abundance of trash talking and laughter from those watching on the sidelines.  Oh but when it was their turn, how the shoe was on the other foot.  Those swings turned out to be more difficult than expected.  From there we proceeded to laser tag.  We were split into two teams (blue and red) for two epic battles.  There was some impressive navy seal-like play, a couple people that sadly fell victim to frequent hits, and even sadder still, some cheating *cough Demetrius, cough cough*  The battles were fierce with the Red team winning the second.  Unfortunately, the scores weren’t recorded for the first game leaving great speculation as to who actually emerged the victor (of course both teams claiming victory for the un-scored game).  All in all, we had a blast.  With each outing/ event we are getting closer and closer.  We’re becoming a family and that’s precisely the strength of connection we need to do the level of ministry we aspire to do.  So if you were unable to join us last weekend, don’t miss out this month when we head to 300 lanes in Waterford for a little glow bowling!  Also, be sure to check out our blog: http://wearemerge.blogspot.com/ for more information/updates about our events.

Until next time Mergers, take care and remember to be safe!
 

God bless,
The Merge
