Youth Serve During Christmas Season

We've had several opportunities the last few weeks to give a bit of our time to be a blessing to others.

Toward the end of November, the youth particpated in the annual Leaf Rake Day, as an incredible number of youth showed up to rake several yards of church folk who would not be able to do it for themselves this year.

On Wed. Dec 10 the youth got out to Wally World and teamed up to purchase christmas gifts for 4 children. We split up into 8 teams, 2 teams for each child with each shopping for clothing and toys, respectively. We had an absolute blast! And the youth really did an awesome job budgeting the money and working as a team to get the most they could for the kids.

Morgan Fesmire and Zeke Varajon also helped with the Homeservice Christmas Party on Thr. Dec 11.

On Fri Dec 12 the Youth also hosted an evening of babysitting for the young adults of the church. We had around 40 children and 20 youth attend. Quite an energetic event!

Finally, on Dec 14, the youth performed at the Keith Family Christmas. They had worked on their play, "Fresh Prince of Bethlehem" for several weeks.

See the pics above for a glimpse of the awesome ways our youth have been serving lately!
