Saturdays have been set aside for Team Sublett family adventures lately. We’ve hiked a couple of nice little hikes, and everyone has had fun. But I gave the fam the day off this past Saturday. I spent a day with some of the up and coming leaders in our life, and I Read more…
A little falling rain didn’t dampen our spirits tonight as Calvary’s youth ministry got the summer kicked off in style! Intern Jake and his trusty sidekick Collin created a 100′ slip & slide plus a couple of other messy/wet games (which may have included a dunk in the pond!) to Read more…
I’m not sure how many times it has to happen before we can officially call it a tradition, but for the third time in four years Team Sublett and various friends descended on the big pond at Harvest Fields to celebrate Memorial Day. We had boats in the pond, weiners Read more…

When is the last time you have felt truly and fully rested–recharged and renewed and reinvigorated? Steve pointed out several of our bad habits and practices. I know Read more…
