School's Out!!!

Marking the end of the school year at Glenhaven was our annual field day, and a full day of events it certainly was. New Life Church's "G-Life" youth group joined in on the fun, though I'm not quite sure they knew what they were in for!


After a short devotion (centered around the day's memory verse James 3 :17) the kids embarked on an extensive obstacle course involving nothing more important than a huge slip-n-slide.



Following lunch, some friendly "tugging" ended everyone up on the wrong side of muddy!

Everyone cleaned up in the creek just in time for our "staff -vs- kids" softball game. Our fearless director Dwayne pitched for the staff, while ranch youth pastor Jamie Coggins lobbed for the kids. Many swings and laughs later, the staff emerged victorious.

The day finished off with a heart warming chapel where Glenhaven said goodbye to a graduated resident, as well as two very valued staff members. Amber from G-life encouraged us all with a message of God's grace and power, which posed the searching question, "Are you standing in the way of receiving it?"

Sprintime arrives at Glenhaven

Springtime has fully enveloped the Ranch, and following an unprecedented amount of rain for this time of year, greenery has exploded back to life following the somber cold months of winter. We have a very special addition to the plethora of new life abounding at Glenhaven­­—a new colt, Miss Golden Nugget, born during the early hours of Monday, May 18^th.

What a treat for Ranch residents to see and interact with Nugget. She is doing well during her first days in her big new world. She is quite the “magnet” of interest and has frequent visitors. Scooter, our Equine Director, brought her and mother, Goldie, over to the office after lunch today. While Goldie grazed on the lawn beside the office, Nugget got a lot of attention from young and old alike.

What a blessing the Lord has bestowed on us by sending Nugget at this time. We thank Him for springtime and the new life that comes with it. We thank Him for the special blessing of having a new colt in our midst.
