Fingers were Fractured

Hi everyone! Happy February. The semester's started back up and I've got lots of pics to share! :)

Another Injury for the List

At our annual Winter Staff Retreat, I broke my finger playing one of the most intense sports of all - Hacky sack. Don't ask me how I pulled that off.

Luckily, it's almost back to normal! I've been nervous to try disc golf but I'm starting to feel confident enough to try later this week!

Believe it or not, this is the best pic of me with my finger that I have lol

Students are back!

After a long break, our students are back in town ready to start the second half of the school year. We've had several events to kickoff the semester! We've had a surprising amount of new students check us out, who we had never met in the fall!

Our first Thursday night was spent with a firepit. A female student noticed us while walking by, joined us for a few minutes, and has since gotten involved in a Core!

Kickoff Worship Night! My boy Quinn is going hard.

We had our first core of the semester! Our snacks included Hot Cheetos, Squirt, and cake - Covering all the major food groups

Here are the SMU students who made it out to our Winter Retreat a few weeks ago! We had like 500 students drive out throughout the weekend. Praise God!

Family Night

On Saturday, February 18 at 4pm, we're going to have our annual Family Night! 

Family Night is a time where parents, families, friends and mentors can come and experience a typical Thursday Night Fellowship for themselves! If you'd like to meet some of the students you read about in these ministry updates, mark your calendar and come experience FOCUS for yourself! :) If you don't already have my number, you can text me or call me about it at (817) 718-7978.


Thank you all for your support! I hope the start to your 2023 has been enjoyable and fulfilling!

Your brother,
Taylor

Summer FOCUS

It's been a slower month on the ministry front. We've got a few new students transferring into SMU this fall who have already gotten connected. Besides that, most of my time has been spent raising support, meeting our local SMU students, and getting acclimated to being a father. Summer FOCUS We've still been having a weekly fellowship night, and it's been great! This is the ad we put up around SMU for Summer term students to see We've had a great turnout from our campuses around DFW! Probably around 200 students who drive out to Richardson on a weekly basis Students I've talked to have been feeling impacted by the messages, and touched by the worship. Baby Audrey's now been here for a month! Here are some recent highlights. First big smile! Honk shoo 🤨 Loves affection 🍵 Not too much to report this month, but once August and especially September rolls in, things will get crazy and I'll have lots of stories to share! I hope you enjoyed some pics of baby ...

She's here!

Hi everyone, As expected, May was a very eventful month. We wrapped our final programming at SMU for the semester, sent off 100+ students from Dallas/Fort-Worth to SICM, and most importantly, Audrey was born!

That's a wrap!

This month has been so fun (and also stressful). Fun because the semester is wrapping up, which means we've been having lots of special events! Stressful because our baby tried to come early, a week into April, so Erin has been stuck on bedrest. Praise the Lord, we just reached full-term on Saturday so now Erin is free to walk, squat, lunge, or whatever. (All of which she has been doing incessantly to try and get the baby out.) We still have 2-3 weeks until our due-date so for Erin's sake, I hope she comes sooner than later! Spring Formal Our last formal FOCUS event of the year, appropriately, is a formal. We had a great turnout with around 40-50 students A handful of guys from my and Luke's small group Wholesome Fire alarm works! Some extroversion is finally working its way into our community 🙌 Lots of lasts As I mentioned earlier, one of the fun things about this time of year is finishing everything with a bang.  We finished up our weekly fellowship nights by inviting a ...
