Missions Conference

Tonight starts our Missions Conference here at Metro. We are having a combined service (Adults, Students, Children) tonight to kick things off. It should be an exciting time. We are going to hear from 4 missionaries tonight.

Tomorrow and Friday we will have a time to sit and dialogue with many of the missionaries, while Friday is the HUGE Missions Banquet. Pastor Mitch Maloney will be there.

This is my first Missions Conference with Metro so I am excited to see what it's all about!

Friend of God?

Say hello to the future of praise and worship!

My little Tiger

Well because of the lack of internet, this is a REALLY late post, but i hate not to share it. Last Saturday, Kaden got to take in his first Auburn game in Jordan Hare Stadium. Another awesome thing is that my whole family went (Mom, Dad, Dale, Julie, Jada, Mitch, Cindy, Anna, Grant, Me, Holly and Kaden!!) Although he had no clue what was going on with the game, I was really excited and I can't wait for the memories we are going to continue to make going to the games. Here are some pics of our trip.

By the time the game was over, there was no rolling toomers corner for Kaden, but we had a great time to say the least!! War Eagle!!

Hot Dog!

So today was an awesome day...My little boy, Kaden, had his 1st birthday party! It was themed, of course, in Mickey Mouse.

We had hamburgers and Hot Dogs...if you don't have kids, the end song for Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is the "Hot Dog Song", which Kaden loves, so it went with the theme.

He had lots of presents and of course his own cake! Here is a picture of his new Mickey Mouse Airplane and his cake.

Finally...

So, it has been a while since I have posted and I know most of you have gotten tired of checking back to the same ol nothing...however I have FINALLY got some things straight and will be back on board. It has taken forever to get internet hooked up here at the rental house, but today is the first day we have it.
There has been a TON of stuff happen since I posted last, but tomorrow is going to be a HUGE day. Kaden's first birthday party is tomorrow!! He turns 1 on Monday but we are having his party tomorrow. I am so excited. I will try to post pictures tomorrow night (depending on how the Auburn game goes :)! Anyway, of all things my battery is about to do so I will definitely be back on track now.

Hey Everyone,
This is Blake Adams, Scott's Production Director at ONEWAY (and now Media Consultant at Metro Church ;). He asked me to head over here and let you all know how things are going at Metro! He is in the process of moving into his new rental house in Birmingham and is crazy busy right now which is why he hasn't posted in a while (Which I get on to him quite often about!). They haven't gotten the internet installed at his house yet so he is "in the dark!"

Anyway, I headed over to Metro Church of God last Wednesday to check things out! It was great! Here is a little bit I wrote about it over on my blog:

"Scott gave me the grand tour of his new “diggs” and I must say I am very impressed! It is seperated into two different buildings, the Main Sanctuary which has the Childrens Sanctuary as well, and then the Office/Youth building beside it. The youth facilities are also very cool! They have a really neat cafe with televisions, air hockey table, billiards etc. and tons of signed posters and pictures decorating the room. The sanctuary area also has HUGE potential! They have been blessed with a lot of awesome stuff that I know they can make great use of! I’m working with Scott right now to design some cool staging and seating area. The sanctuary is in a Gym which kind of hinders your ability to do a lot with the seating area because it is sometimes moved for functions, but the stage is stationary which helps a lot! I’m looking forward to seeing what we can come up with for it!"

Here are a few pictures I was able to snap with my Camera Phone. I had taken my camera but unfortunately forgot to charge it the night before.

The Band Rehearsing before Service

I also was able to visit Scott's new place before I left Thursday Morning. Some of the youth at Metro Church had decorated his driveway and house with Balloons and signs. Here is the one that was on the Front Door

All in all it was a GREAT trip and I really enjoyed getting to check out Metro Church and meet several of the leaders and students! I know that God is going to do great things through Scott and Holly at Metro (and hopefully He'll let me contribute a little!)

I'll try to stay on Scott about posting soon! If not I may be back in a week!

Till next time,
Blake Adams
