PYF

Parents of youth interested in attending the summer PYF mission trip, along with parents of youth interested in going to NaCoMe, are encouraged to attend an information meeting on Sunday, March 14 immediately following the Worship Service. Soup and sandwiches will be shared as we make plans for our exciting summer trips.

Ice Skating Trip: On Sunday, March 28, we will travel to the Huntsville Ice Complex for an afternoon of ice skating. We will meet at the church at 1:30 pm. Skate from 3-5 pm and grab a burger on our way back to the church. The cost will be $7 per person if we have ten or more to attend. If not, it will be $9.25 per person. You will need to bring money for supper.

The Junior/Senior High Sunday School class led by Teresa Burns continues to study Faith Questions around God and the Bible.

Souper Bowl of Caring: The 6th annual Souper Bowl of Caring collection was held after worship on Sunday, February 7. $500 was received for PYF purchase of food in addition to several boxes of donated food for distribution to the Giles County Help Center. The youth shopped for the requested non-perishable items on Ash Wednesday and were able to provide 100 pounds of hamburger meat.

March 13 & 14, 2009 we attend a great youth conference in Nashville, Acquire the Fire - Here Comes Trouble. Ron Luce, Joel and Casey Johnson were the speakers. The sessions included the 'trouble with the opposite sex', 'the trouble with parents', 'the trouble with the letter', 'the trouble with being a follower of Jesus'. We heard the bands, Leeland, Jeremy Camp, and Group 1 Crew; Phil Joel was the worship leader. It was an intense workshop but we had a great time. Plans are underway to attend next year's conference scheduled for February 26 & 27, 2010.

Saturday afternoon, January 24, 2009, T, Tyler, Bert, Taylor, Seth, Josh, Alec, Emma, Ally and Melissa traveled to Nashville to cook and serve a soup and sandwich meal to the families staying at the Ronald McDonald House. While slicing onions, potatoes, carrots, browning meat, making sandwiches, cookies and brownies, we talked, laughed, visited with several families and definitely added some noise and activity to the House kitchen! (Ask Bert about his delicious chicken noodle soup.)

We also had time to empty trash cans, put away clean dishes from 4 dishwashers, and wipe down the tables and chairs in the dining room.

Thanks to June Kimbrough, Kati Burns and Christie Brown for attending, to Rayma Miles for trusting me with her large truck to haul kids and to all the folks who donated food to make the meal such a success.
