It's hard being a youth pastor

Tonight David had the guys in our youth group over. He had the tough job of playing x-box with them! What a tough job for a youth pastor huh?!?! :o) The pictures did not turn out the greatest because I had to hurry up and take them (as you can tell some didn't want their pictures taken). They guys had 2 x-boxes and played 4 players on each x-box. I am not a video game player so I do not understand all the in and outs of it. But I know they had fun, I listened to them all night! What a joy it is to minster to teens, whether through video games at our house on a Friday evening or youth meetings on Wednesday evenings.


Lincoln didn't appreciate Anthony picking on him and started barking!


They are concentrating sooo hard!

Adult Fellowship Banquet

February 17th marked the first time our Youth Group was in charge of the Adult Fellowhsip Banquet. It was a lot of work and what a sigh of relief to finally be done with it. The teens did a WONDERFUL job serving and helping, they all worked very hard and we stayed right on schedule.

The food was all prepared ahead of time, this was a big task as we prepared enough for about 70 people. I learned how to make home-made creasant rolls (even after the first two batches did not turn out...too hot of water kills off the yeast) :0) I could now give you the recipe by memory after making about 6 batches. The food was a big hit.

The adults really enjoyed themselves and we were able to pull everything off without any major problems. It was nice to give the people in our church a chance to fellowship with each other. We have had many new families join our church in the last year and this was a great way for them to get to know one another better. David did a good job with the games and breif message.
