Ok, So we have had a few problems scheduling our Christmas Party.
But, we now have a great night planned on Wednesday, December 17th at the Farmhouse.
We are going to have a fun time together, but we are also going to reach out as a youth group to a family that is in need in our community. Parents, we will be going off site for part of the night. If you would like more details, please call me. We would like to be a surprise the students.
Remember, the cost of the night is $10.
This past Sunday night, we baptized 15 of our high school students. It was an amazing night of hearing the testimony of what God was doing in the life of our young people and then we baptized them because each student wants to make a public declaration of their faith in Jesus Christ. Below are a few pictures from this special night.

What happens when you put apple juice, honey, grape jelly, cheese whiz, peanut butter, yogurt, pudding, potato chips, spam and sardines in a blender and offer 3 teens a $15 itunes card to drink it…..They do!

So, Hurricane Ohio hit a few weeks ago and did all kinds of damage. We have some of the most amazing students in our youth ministry. They wanted to get out there help some people who needed it. Watch this video to see just how that played out!
The High School Group had their fall kick off Wednesday Night in the newly designed farmhouse. Nearly 50 High School students filed into the farmhouse for what turned out to be a fantastic night. It was so fun watching and hearing the students responses to the new farmhouse. When one student said thank you for what we had done to the house, there was a big cheer from the rest of the students. It is our desire to provide the students with somewhere they feel at home and will take pride in.
Jimmy Spencer, of the Shema Movement presented the students with a clear challenge on the life that God is calling them to. He shared with them that they were each made in the image of God. Students really connected with the message.
It was a great start to what is going to be a great night!
Here are some pictures from Wednesday Night.
