Bowling Night - 8th

We went to the bowling alley, to enjoy a riveting game of bowling. As soon as we got our shoes ready we headed down to the lanes to pulverize some pins, of course me being a pretty good bowler I decided to go easy on the people in my group, and get a couple gutterballs, completely on purpose. But eventually after putting on my game face I was whooped down upon by Dave, who has apparently been playing bowling since birth. After we faced off and knocked down all the pins we could handle we headed back to the bus and were transported safely back to the church by Dom, who is an amazing driver.


Scarfapalooza/X-Mas Party - 18th

We began the night by writing a poem to our beloved scarves who we had recently been having relationship problems with, begging them to come back, because we can't live without the tender love and care of our scarves. After we finished writing our poems we displayed our theatrical skills by performing skits in which our scarves were the main characters, after seeing the laughter and tears that come from the emotional life of a scarf. We decided that we were going to build a runway and strut our scarves for a panel of judges which consisted of Dave, Jacqui, and Sunny. As each team did their little turn on the catwalk our youth leaders impersonated the very well known American Idol judges, or at least tried to. Afterwards we performed our heartfelt and emotional poems to our scarves, urging them to come back because we just miss them so very much, and of course we rejoiced with our scarves, what can't love fix?


New Year's Eve Lock-In - 31st

The New Year's Eve Lock-In is probably one of the most hyped events of the year, this year we enjoyed alot of high-energy games, starting off with a scavenger hunt around the entire church, including a picture of the members of your group doing a pyramid, AHYEAH! and even random foliage in the hallway. After our svanger hunt we enjoyed many games, including dodgeball, and limping zombies. Then we gathered in the sanctuary to have a rockin' worship service! Once we finished with our worship time we decided it'd be fun to make ginger bread houses, and pit our best team players against eachother in a contest to see who could find the white eminem in a cream pie the fastest. Once we got all the cream cleaned up from the faces of the youth and the floor and tables of the cafe, we headed back into the sanctuary and performed skits for the youth leaders. Once we got done showing our inner shakespeare we played some more running tag games and finally sat back and watched The Chronicles of Narnia until the sun came up. Mission Accomplished.

Part 2: "The Event"

The Event was a very special and awesome presentation put on by Dom and the church, as a big curtain in the sanctuary uncovered Jesus, our lord and savior hanging from the cross on which he was crucified. A video and presentation was shown about what happened on that day so very long ago, and the everlasting love that our lord showed that day when he died on the cross for the sins of humanity.
