S.S. Chapman!

We had our maiden voyage of the S.S. Chapman on
Saturday night heading to Siloam for a Youth Night.
We are so grateful and thankful to Ray and Lil Chapman
for donating this van to us - - - WE ARE SO BLESSED!

LTC HAS BEGUN!

Leadership Training for Christ is in full force!
Every Sunday from 4-6 we are participating and
practicing for this year's convention. We are involved in
many activities this year - Convention is April 10-11.

We are excited!!!!!!!!!

W.A.L.K. with God

Our theme for 2009 is "Walking with God"
Our emphasis is to develop and establish a good relationship
with our Heavenly Father. This includes daily Bible reading
and daily prayer times. We will learn other things that apply to
this as well! And so maybe we can that, just like Noah, we walk
with God as well. (Gen. 6:9)

This is a busy time

With all that is going on, I have been negligent
about posting...I don't how many of our kids read this
but I hope that it is neat to see yourself on the computer
doing things with your youth group. God has blessed
me here with some wonderful young people!
Keep up the fight!

BTW - I am ready for the retreat!

More pictures from the Youth Rally

Our First Area Wide Youth Rally...

We had over 75 people that came for first ever Area Wide Youth Rally. We had a great time singing and playing games. There was a great skit and lesson. Kansas, Colcord, Jay, Eastgate, Gentry and Grove showed up. Not too bad for the first time!

Fellowship with Eastgate

We just had our first activity with the Eastgate church. We had a very good time and look forward to more activities. We appreciate them coming over!

Are we excited yet?

Sunday begins the new class schedule for the Kansas church.
It also begins a more organized approach to the education
and teaching being taught. I am so grateful for all those
who have taught here for so long! They have done a great
job. I am ready for Sunday and the young men and I begin
to learn the correct and proper way of leadership in the church.
GOD IS SO GOOD!

BATTLE BELONGS TO THE LORD

With school starting and all the pressures beginning again
it is good to remember this: God always will win the battle!
Rely on His strength and things will be overcome...by ourselves
we are helpless and hopeless. With God, we are mighty and strong.
I want to encourage all of you to put your faith in the Holy God
to equip you in the battles of this life...Nothing else will do...

Youth Activity 8-9-08

Jesus' Love Is Bubblin Over

This was the kids first attempt to sing this song. Im not sure who liked it the most, the girls or the boys. Actually the girls sang the boys part better. They did a good job though!

I CANNOT BELIEVE IT

This summer has FLOWN by!
Our kids start school in the next few weeks...and things will start slowing down.
I ran everyone ragged last week with 4 activities in 4 nights...SORRY!
I was tired as well - - - I know everyone else was as well.
It will be a good fall...We have a lot of exciting things coming up:
- Fellowships with Eastgate COC, Stilwell, Colcord
- Youth Nights every fourth Saturday
- LTC Prep begins in Oct. /Nov.
- Fall Retreat in November @ BCCC
- Caroling in December

It is going to be a good fall...
Best wishes to our football, softball, and soccer players and also the cheerleaders.

Thank goodness!
