Virginia Winter Retreat Was Awesome!
Eight Sr. High Youth (Dylan, Tommy, Tanner, Ryan, Jen, Lauren K., Ciara, and Michael) and 3 Adults (Ms. Glady, Mr. Shawn & Mr. Walt) left Friday, Jan. 6, at 5 PM to head to Middleburg, Virginia. A 3.5 hour ride ended at Camp Highroad, where we met up with Bryan & Kate Rigg, and youth from their church, Redeemer Pres., in Lynchberg. It was good to see some of the friends we met and worked with in Pikeville, KY, when we joined them for a mission trip in June, and to form new friendships. There was a total of 34 adults and two children (Naomi & Charlie Rigg).
It was a weekend of fellowship, food, and FUN, as we had Bible lessons, 4-square, UFO picture taking, 4-square, a treasure hunt, 4-square, Hawaiian Happy Meal contest, 4-square, football, capture the flag, campfire w/s'mores, 4-square, a movie, and other fun stuff!! The dinosaurs won the most points for all the competitions, followed closing by the lizards, snakes and frogs!
Fun was had by all, and a special thank you to Bryan & Kate for making all the arrangements, and inviting our youth group to be a part of the weekend, and to Mr. Walt, who joined us as a chaperone and driver. Pictures will be posted in a day or two.

CHRISTMAS PARTY, TUES., DEC. 20!!
CALLING ALL YOUTH..... LET'S CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS!!
We will have a Christmas Party with a White Elephant Polyanna, on Tuesday, Dec. 20th!
POLYANNA: Each youth should bring a wrapped gift ($5.00 or less). It can be a nice gift or a gag gift (nothing inappropriate!). The rules are as follows:
To participate, you need to bring a gift.
Person #1 opens a gift.
Person #2 can then 'steal' the gift that #1 has if they want it, or open another wrapped gift.
Person #3 can 'steal' from #1 or #2, or open a wrapped gift.
Game continues, 'stealing' or unwrapping.
Once someone has had the same gift 3 times, no one can 'steal' it from them.
Person #1 gets to choose to keep the gift they have or 'steal' any gift from anyone, except those that were stolen 3 times.
It will be FUN, so invite a friend... just ask them to bring a gift!

Thanksgiving Dinner - November 15, 2011
WOW... what a DELICIOUS Thanksgiving Dinner we all shared together! (see pictures on the right)
Special thanks to: Ms. Colleen, who always schedules the meals and coordinates volunteers to bring the food donations for all of our dinners, for donating corn, milk and butter and for coming early to help prepare and clean up this special meal; Ms. Shelly, who also came early to prepare and help clean up; to Mr. Walt for helping to clean up; Ms. Meg, who donated mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce and pumpkin pies; Jane Lee Miller, who baked us apple pies; Joan Rigg, for stuffing and pumpkin pies.
It was a blessing to hear all of you say what you are thankful for. It was evident that most of you, and the leaders, are thankful for our youth group, for Christian fellowship, for the support of family and friends.
May all of you have a very blessed Thanksgiving holiday!!
