Where Are They Now?

Over the years we have had many different adults help us in THE NET as youth sponsors. I was thinking about their influence and how much they have meant to me. God has blessed us with them. Some of them have left to follow God's plan elsewhere. Have you wondered what happened to them? I thought it would be fun to catch up. I sent out an email and looked them up on facebook and asked a few questions. Here is what I asked:

Where do you live?

What are you doing these days? Work? School?

Tell us about your family?

Do you have any good Chapel Pike memories you’d like to share?

Do you have a brief message for the youth group?

I'm excited to hear from them. I have received a couple of responses already. Wanna see? Okay, let's take a look. Oh yea, keep coming back to see who we might learn about. Let's take a look at a couple of responses.

Jon and Julie Crandall

Where do you live? Decatur, IN

What are you doing these days?

Jonathan is the youth pastor at Pleasant Dale Church. Julie is a stay-at-home mom.

Tell us about your family?

Our daughter Esther was born on October 30th, 2008. She is adorable and lots of fun!!

Do you have any good Chapel Pike memories you'd like to share?

I remember the time we had an 80's night, and everyone forgot to dress up except Tony and Christy--who went ALL OUT! Awkward! :) For those that went on the mission trip to Michigan I will just say, "I'm wearing THIS!" Our "farewell night" was so special! We loved all of the notes and gifts from the teens and Brian and Jaye. Pass the Kleenex!!

A brief message to the youth group?

Hi everyone! We miss you so much! Hope that all is well with all of you. Thanks for being such awesome teens and for teaching us about youth ministry! In the famous words of a certain 2nd grader, "You knocked me down . . . like a flagpole . . . that rolls . . . like a rock!"

Matt and Stephanie Morris

Matthew and Stephanie Morris currently reside in Marion, IN. They are active at Brinker Heights Wesleyan Church where Stephanie serves as youth pastor. She also works as a Family Behavioral Specialist at Cornerstone while Matthew works at Carter Lumber. They're enjoying their son, Andrew, who was born in 2008. They'll never forget the time when Stephanie's Buick got stuck in the mud in the Lewton's yard. Chapel Pike is a very special place to them because it's where they met. Matthew and Stephanie encourage The Net teens to remember that you're never too young to make a difference for the cause of Christ. You are always an example to someone!
