Wii Came To Party

We were supposed to go to Venture River on July 9, but the weather was bad. So we had a wii party at the church instead!





This wasn't actually from the Wii Party, since only girls came, but here are some of the boys playing the Wii on Sunday night.

Youth Sunday Pictures

Rehearsal Pictures

Our church sanctuary is notorious for some terrible lighting which leads to terribly lit pictures! Here they are anyway! I didn't get everyone b/c I finally put the camera down and got to work!

Youth Sunday...the Saga Continues!

Here are some decisions we made last night:

We will wear Jeans and bright, solid colored shirts (not white, black, brown, grey--a bright color!). Some of you told me what you would wear last night. That's not set in stone, but it would look funny for most of you to show up in the same color and a few others to wear different colors.

"Shackles" will be the praise dance song (Aimee, Shanay, Elle, Hannah, Sarah, B.J. will dance). B.J. will begin making some chains out of construction paper.

The Youth Choir will sing "Mighty To Save." Mae may learn the guitar chords to it to accompany us. If not (no pressure, Mae!), we will use a canned accompaniment.

Our congregational songs will be "Awesome God," "The Summons," and "Here I Am To Worship."

Parts for the Skit:
Darkness/Evil/Devil: John
Jesus: Harrison
Girl with books: Sarah
Two friends: Aimee and Shanay
Praying girl: Mae
Angels: Elle, Hannah, BJ

We will sell Save Darfur bracelets for $3 each and send the profit ($1.50 on each bracelet) to the Save Darfur Coalition. If you have friends at school who want to buy a bracelet, take an order and tell them to bring $3 to school on Monday.

John will make a Save Darfur announcement at the early service this Sunday (the Sunday BEFORE Youth Sunday) and Robert will make the same announcement at the late service.

I will have an order for worship in the mail this week. Bring it Sunday night with your comments and suggestions!
