Vacation Bible School, Day 2!

Teresa, a.k.a. "Blaze" introduces the theme for the night and talks about the extreme sport she did-car washing! Can you see her busted lip?

Easter Egg Hunting

Teens reflecting on what are riches

Teens Learning to be good Stewards

In conjunction with our Financial Peace University for adults, Bettie George Frye is teaching a similar class for our teens. These pictures were from a really neat exercise they did in which they went to different stations, were given a question to think about, and usually wrote down their answers in some form. It was a very well-thought out program and, I think, very meaningful to the participants.

Chili Cook-Off!

Lock In

We had a great turn-out for our lock-in Friday night. This was an event for all of our youth which began at 7:00 p.m. We went to Ceredo for midnight bowling and the Jr. High youth went home after we arrived back at the church at 1:00 a.m. The Senior Highs stayed on, and here they are playing basketball early Saturday morning.

A few of our kids arrived a little after seven to eat breakfast with the senior high youth.


I didn't get any pictures of our jr. high at the lock-in, so I'll work to get some pictures of them to post another time. I also want to post pictures of our chili cook-off if I can get a hold of those pictures. I may even see if I can post one of the chili recipes if any of our cooks are willing to share with me and you here on the Blog!
