Old Friends, New Friends

Shepherd's Staff hosted two youth groups this weekend. The youth groups are pastored by twin brothers Kevin Larson and Kyle Larson, from Leoti KS and Sidney NE, respectively. We know Kyle, since he brought kids to Table in the Wilderness while we were there, and he is part of Sidney E-Free Church, one of our supporting churches.

While Kyle is an old friend, Kevin is a new friend. He actually attended the same college as Gwen's sister, during the same time period, but while she knew Kevin, we never met him. It's just been in the past year that we've gotten to know him.

So it was neat that the two brothers decided to do a combined youth retreat...and to hold it at Shepherd's Staff. We knew most of the sponsors for the Sidney group...and enjoyed getting to know the sponsors from Leoti.

It's always a blessing for us when familiar faces show up at Shepherd's Staff. It's a reminder that ministry isn't confined to one organization or locale--that the body of Christ is intertwined and varied.
