Hey Yall,
I loved all the ideas that were brought up at the leadership meeting today. I think Sold Out is heading in an amazing direction, growing and changing every week, with God leading us every step of the way.
We mentioned a few things at the leadership meeting about serving. As Matt Keller and I have mentioned a few times (and I'm sure Ryan is REALLY sick of hearing about) I think it would be AWESOME getting Sold Out involved with helping out serving at an amazing place called 5 Rock Ranch. For those of you who don't know about it, It's a 107 acre ranch in Yamhill (so it's not too far away for a quick trip every now and then) that used to be a bustling dude ranch called the Flying M Ranch, which opened in 1971. It used to be a place where people got drunk all the time and I'm sure at least a few children were conceived (if you know what I mean). In other words, it was a place of sin. But, a couple of years after the ranch closed down, a REALLY nice couple named Scott and Christy Bradley bought the ranch and are in the process of converting it into a safe haven for fatherless children and single moms. Scott and Christy have always had a place in their hearts for fatherless children, having taken in and mentored dozens of them over the years. Over the past couple of years, I, along with the former Salem Alliance college group Ethos, have helped out several times at the ranch doing stuff like hauling fire wood and painting, and stuff like that, nothing really major. Mostly, it all about the fellowship. I can't describe how amazing it is chilling out at that beautiful place and getting to know all of the amazing, godly people who live and work there. Everybody at 5 Rock Ranch is like one big family. I would love to see Sold Out become part of that extended family sometime in the near future.

ha ha I didn't know 5 Rock was once the "Flying M" I started laughing when I read that bit about it being a place of sin because some people I've known have been there for an anniversary or two. Not that they did anything sinful, it just made me laugh is all. Kinda reminded me of the old Church Lady sketch on SNL :D
