The youth group has BIG plans this fall… we have a lot going on so mark your calendars, roll up your sleeves, and get ready to have some FUN! Sun., Sept. 12th we will stay after church, have lunch and help the Kid’s Closet sort clothes! We will do this instead of having evening praise service that night! So, if you are available please plan to stay after church and help out our Kid’s Closet! Sun., Sept.19th, Hunger Hike! We will gather donations before and after worship… remember each hiker needs $50.00 to get a t-shirt so start collecting now! We will have lunch after church (bring money) and we will go to Riehle Plaza and walk for a worthy cause. Parents pick up your kids at 3 pm in front of the train station. All donations stay right here in Dayton to support our church food pantry so give until it hurts! Sun., Sept. 26th Evening Praise Worship. Sun., Oct. 10th Evening Praise Worship. Sun., Oct. 24th CORN MAZE! We want to invite not only the youth but the entire church family to join us at the corn maze. We will meet at the corn maze at 5 pm and stay until 7 pm and we will have this instead of evening Praise. Also remember Smorgasbord is Nov. 6th and we need volunteers to work in the dining room. Also, don’t forget Christmas Jubilee. We will need shoppers and gift wrappers! Thank again for all your hard work and prayers! Hillary
One of our goals as a group was that we wanted to feel the Holy Spirit working in us and I believe each kid (and the adults had their own personal moments, but I would like to share my experience with you...As you know, Gideon had surgery while we were at Triennium. My small group (& several others) had been praying for us. I left Triennium and went to the surgery. It was a little more complicated than first expected but in the end all went very well. After the surgery Scott and I took Gideon home. I was reluctant to leave him but knew he was in good hands and I needed to get back to campus. I went to my small group meeting that night and the leader asked, “What percent of you is here in this room tonight?” She gave the example that she was about 80% there...some of her was at home with her husband and her job. The group turned to me and I sank down in my seat. I admitted that I was about 15% there...I explained that I was concerned about my son, I had a lot going on with our kids there at Triennium, and to top it off, I had just started a new job...needless to say, my plate was pretty full. So, the small group leader wanted to pray for me to be more in the moment and to let go of my worries so we prayed. While we prayed I received a text message from Scott with a picture of Gideon running full speed through the house yelling “Me ok me OK”. God works in mysterious ways! We live in a fallen world and our kids face lots of garbage. I am so thankful to have a church that supports our kids. I am thankful to be a part of a church that makes experiences like this available to our kids. Finally, I am thankful for each and every one of you that prayed for our kids, bought jars of cookie mix to financially support our kids, donated money to the Triennium fund, gave money for snacks and drinks, and for all the love and support! We have a great bunch of teens in our church. I thank God for them and for all of you! Many blessings, Hillary Basden Jesus replied, “You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.” Matthew 22:37-38 |
