Visit to CLEMSON!!

Last weekend, I had the blessing of visiting Clemson to celebrate Matt's birthday with him and some of our friends. It was a great time of fellowship and enjoying being back in TigerTown :)
We had a dinner and game night birthday party with friends. I also got to attend Crosspoint's service and discussion group on Sunday. Pastor Ken has started the series on the book of John. He attended the John class with the interns over the summer to help prepare for the series. It was even more engaging for me to refresh my memory on what I'd learned in the class and see how it is applied during the congregation's study. The weekend was a quick but great visit! It was really wonderful to see so many of my church family- definitely motivation to get back soon!
Part of Matt's birthday included an interview game. I asked his family and one of his oldest friends some questions which the MC (our SummerLINK MC Jason was kind enough to reprise his role!) then asked Matt. There was a good deal of laughter and generally enjoying getting to know the birthday boy a bit better.
