Movie 'n' Pizza Nite

No school tomorrow morning! What a good time for a youth group activity . . . so that's just what we did tonight. After evening service, some 16 teens gathered for pizza, pop, chips, and dessert. [A big thanx to Jeannette] At 6:30 we migrated South to the Teen Room to enjoy the movie "Facing the Giants". Coach Grant Taylor dares to challenge his players to believe God for the impossible on and off the field. This movie was a powerful experience inspiring our teens to live with faith, hope, and love!

Wed Night Teen Class Grows

While the attendance seems to hover around 15, the total number of students involved is growing. Sterling, who has been attending since the hay ride last Fall, continues to bring her friends. Several weeks ago she brought Anna and Angie. Last night she brought three friends and her sister Reegan. If those who were sick and unable to attend were there, we would have had about 20.



The impact of the Teen Room has been a positive factor. We still need decorating props like flower arrangements. We are looking for a pair of large lamp shades and we can always upgrade the casual seating.

The latest emphases of the youth group is to increase the number of teens carrying their Bibles. To that end, we need adult "sponsors" to donate funds to purchase
personal study Bibles to be presented to students who need one
and agree to use it.
As always, we cherish your support and your prayers. gary
