Well we made it through the 2009 National Youth Gathering - Jesus~Justice~Jazz in New Orleans, LA thanks to the generous contributions from the church and the people who bought the discount cards! It was a week full of exciting moments, hilarious moments, fun moments, inspirational moments, and moments that just got you to think. We heard from many different speakers every night in the Super Dome and got to hear a lot of music! While the 22 hour bus ride to and from NOLA wasn't the most desirable, it was definitely worth it to experience the gathering.
Well it's been a little while since the last time I was able to update the site, the site is now updated! Since my last entry us senior high youth went to Winterfest and had an amazing time. The Winterfest highlight videos are available on DVD for $4.00. We also just recently had a lock-in last weekend. Upcoming events include a Superbowl party at my house for senior high youth at 5:30 and another retreat to Nawakwa on April 24-26. Senior high going to the Superbowl Party are asked to bring along with them a snack to share like chips, pretzels, soda...etc.YOUTH GOING TO THE NATIONAL YOUTH GATHERING THIS SUMMER... BE SURE TO BE SELLING YOUR DISCOUNT CARDS! PLEASE SELL AT LEAST 20 CARDS!--Japh
Well, it seems this blog isn't used much, haha, so I'm going to use it. Youth has kicked off to a great start this year, there was a good turn out for the CROP Walk on Sunday and our next event will be a weekend retreat at Camp Nawakwa November 21st - 23rd. Winterfest 2009 is also coming up soon in January and is only for Senior High youth group members (in grades 9-12). Registration forms for that have been mailed out and must be turned into Pastor Matt or to the church office. If you are able to go and didn't get a form, contact Pastor Matt for one.The website has taken on a new look again this year and new t-shirts are in the works! Keep a watch out for updates on the web this year. :-) A video is also on it's way of all the summer activities like mini golf, the Senators game, the pool party, the clean up day, Hershey Park, and the list goes on! ...watch for it :-)
