r.i.p. forest andrews

It's been awhile since I last posted because tragically our friend, Forest Andrews was killed in a longboarding accident Friday, June 10th, the day of his high school graduation.

We've been very sad and somber, his death has rocked our community, especially our youth group. Forest was highly active in our church and youth group and was planning on going on the Thailand mission trip (which they flew out today). He was nothing but a joy to be with, always smiling and positive as well as a talented artist and skateboarder.

It's robbery that Forest passed at such a young age but we have hope in our grief. God has brought a lot of good out of this horrible situation. Time is healing everyone's wounds. Our prayers go out to the Andrew's family, we love you guys!!

Please check out this amazing song "You make beautiful things" by the band Gungor. They played it at Forest's celebration of life last Saturday.
