WE VISITED OAKLEAF VILLAGE ASSISTED LIVING HOME TO SHARE THE LOVE OF CHRIST IN RECOGNITION
OF VALENTINE'S DAY. WE HAND DELIVERED 90 TISSUE WRAPPED CARNATIONS AND ABOUT 150 HEART SCRIPTURE VERSES TO THE RESIDENTS.
MANY PEOPLE ARE IN ASSISTED LIVING OR NURSING HOMES BECAUSE THEY DO NOT HAVE FAMILY OR FRIENDS WITH WHOM THEY CAN LIVE
WITH. WE FOUND MANY RESIDENTS THAT STATED THEY HAD NO FAMILY AND RARELY HAD VISITORS. THEY WERE SO HAPPY TO SEE
OUR YOUTH. WE WERE TOLD OVER AND OVER WHAT A BLESSING WE WERE TO THEM, BUT....ACTUALLY, THEY WERE A BLESSING TO
US.
THERE WAS AN ASSEMBLY LINE OF WORK...AS THE GROUP PREPARED THE FLOWERS FOR DELIVERY...
ALL THE GUESTS WERE VERY HAPPY TO RECEIVE THEIR FLOWER AND VERSE.
ONE OF THE RESIDENTS THERE..SHE IS MS. MARGARET AND IS 92 YRS OLD!
A LITTLE CLOWNING AROUND AFTER THE VISIT IS ALWAYS FUN...
A "GROUP HUG" ALWAYS SHOWS LOTS OF LOVE...
THE SILVER RING THING WAS AN AWESOME EVENT...THE TEAM DID AN OUTSTANDING JOB AS USUAL...
THE MESSAGE: TEEN ABSTINENCE AND WHY IT IS IMPORTANT TO "WAIT" FOR THE ONE YOU MARRY...THERE IS AN EPIDEMIC SWEEPING
OUR NATION, ONE IN WHICH THE TEENS OF TODAY ARE FALLING INTO! THIS EVENT SHOWS THAT THERE IS STRENGTH IN NUMBERS AND
POWER IN FAITH, WITH GOD'S GUIDANCE TEENS CAN OVERCOME THE TEMPTATIONS THEY FACE TO LEAD A LIFE PLEASING TO HIM. THE
KEY SCRIPTURE FOR THIS PRODUCTION IS: 1 THESSALONIANS 4:3-4 "GOD WANTS YOU TO BE HOLY, SO YOU SHOULD
KEEP CLEAR OF ALL SExUAL SIN. THEN EACH OF YOU WILL CONTROL YOUR BODY AND LIVE IN HOLINESS AND HONOR.'
THE PICTURES SHOW WHAT A GREAT TIME EVERYONE HAD.
TWO OF THE SPEAKERS TAKE THE TIME TO POSE FOR A PHOTO WITH KELLY AND MCKENZIE........
ALL WERE INVITED TO COME UP ON STAGE.
ALL SMILES....AS THEY SHOW OFF THEIR NEW RINGS:
A "BROKEN AND DAMAGED HEART"......... A LESSON OF WHAT NOT TO GIVE TO THE ONE YOU
MARRY........
PIZZA AT CICI'S...YUM YUM...FOOD AND CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP...TWO FAVORITES!
YOUTH NIGHT AT THE PASTOR'S HOUSE...FOOD, FELLOWSHIP, GAMES, SCRIPTURE AND A SPECIAL GUEST APPEARANCE....GREAT

CAMP KEMO:
***********************************************************
THIS IS OUR THIRD YEAR AS A GUEST AT CAMP KEMO. CAMP KEMO IS FOR CHILDREN
WHO SUFFER FROM CANCER. THE CHILDREN SPEND A WEEK HERE AND WE HAVE THE HONOR OF SERVING THEM A SNACK ON CLOSING NIGHT.
OUR SNACK THIS YEAR WAS "DIRT CUPS"...NOT LITERALLY...BUT A DESSERT MADE BY LAYERING
CHOCOLATE PUDDING AND WHIP CREAM...THEN SPRINKLING THE TOP LAYER WITH CRUSHED OREOS AND TOPPED WITH A GUMMI WORM..THEY WERE
FUN TO MAKE AND EVEN BETTER TO EAT!

FOR INVITING US TO BE A PART OF THEIR AMAZING TEAM.

RELAY FOR LIFE:
THIS EVENT IS VERY SPECIAL TO OUR GROUP. IT IS SUCH A JOY TO BE A PART OF THE WALK AND SHARE THE
LOVE OF CHRIST WITH THE OTHER WALKERS. OUR TEAM HAS WON THE "MOST SPIRITED" AWARD TWO CONSECUTIVE YEARS. IT HAS
ALWAYS BEEN OUR GOAL TO HAVE OTHERS SEE THE HOLY SPIRIT SHINE WITHIN US. WE GIVE ALL GLORY TO GOD! PLEASE PRAY
FOR THIS MINISTRY.
