On December 13rd the youth went bowling! Most kids had a plus one, so we ended up with about 11 kids and 4 adults! We had so much fun at CiCi's Pizza and then the arcade and with the two games of bowling! Wooo! Each person was required to bring 5 pantry items for their way in. Down below is a picture of some of those items!

SO FAR! :D
Well this is kind-of an article that almost made it into the Newsletter but it didn't, unfortunately, due to my late brain! So here it is for anyone who wants to see it!!
For the past few months the Youth has been helping out around the Church and getting involved in some very important missions!
We helped make hundreds and hundreds of sandwiches
We helped out at the Annual Barbeque where we raised $40 for sandwich making
We had the Yard Sale where we raised $600
We put together 11 boxes for Samaritan's Purse from donations from the congregation
We collected money for the Poinsettias sale and they have all been given out
We helped wrap presents for "Kleban's Kids"
We helped serve refreshments and presents at the Saturn Nursing Home Christmas Party
Also, we play Bingo with the seniors at Saturn on Saturdays
We are going Midnight Bowling with friends soon as a reward for all our hard work! We are planning on having a Spaghetti dinner in the future along with making a meal for Room in the Inn but I'm sure we'll do so much more soon!
Our meetings are the 1st and 3rd Sunday in most months at 4pm to 5:30pm. We usually have a light snack & drink along with a devotion and an activity! We'd love to have any kids in Middle-High School participate. Thanks!
Our most recent sandwich making day!
This is the last time we made Sandwiches! December 14th! Another batch of like 500+ sandwiches going to feed the homeless this cold winter! Thanks to everyone who helped us! Here's some pictures :D
Remember! We made sandwiches every other Wednesday and we make 500+ sandwiches every time! We always need donations such as loaves of sandwich bread and flip top sandwich baggies! Meet us in the fellowship hall at 6pm, Thanks! Until next time~

The Youth Visits Saturn & Helps Wrap Gifts!
This weekend the Youth visited Saturn Nursing Home for their annual Christmas Party!
We helped serve cookies and beverages to all 45 attendees. Also, each person got a gift bag personally made by either Andrea or Frances! Thanks to everyone who donated gifts or cookies to the Party! It was really a blast :) Girl Scouts even came and sung some Christmas Carols! So much fun! Everyone had a lovely time!
Then Sunday afternoon after Church we all went down to the fellowship hall where we wrapped gifts for 135 kids who Mike Kleban is sponsoring! "Kleban's Kids" are children unable to have an adequate Christmas so Mike Kleban has been raising money so they will have some Holiday Cheer! This year he raised about $12,000 for this ministry! The youth went down and helped wrap up the tons of bags of gifts for each kid! We had so much fun! Other people in the Church helped wrap and also helped with Saturn's Party!
Thanks to everyone who donated anything to help us! Have a great week!
