Colton & Zara - 1st

Colton & Zara performed a live concert at the church. We love colton and Zara! And they're music and energy had us dancing, jumping, and throwing eachother up into the air in praise and worship. This had to be their best performance yet!!! After their amazing performance the band hung out for a while and talked to us, signed an assortment of random objects, t-shirts, cd's and anything else the youth could find for them to sign. Then we helped them pack up their things so that they could head out to spread the word and their music to more and more people. It was an amazing night, and it's always a treat to have them come and perform for us!


Chic-Fil-A Fundraiser - 11th

The Water 4 life funraiser is a fundraiser made to raise money to give a village in africa a well for clean drinking water, and the Chic-Fil-A fundraiser was one of the many events held to help raise money for the cause. 20% of the profits from meals at Chic-Fil-A that day went to helping out, and we had many church members, youth, leaders, and even pastor chris helping out around the Chic-Fil-A during the fundraiser. Dom had stationed 4 extremely helpful youth out on the corner to hold signs for promotion, and Pastor Chris was inside making milkshakes, who doesn't love a good milkshake? During the fundraiser Dom got to run around the property in the Chic-Fil-A cow costume, to entertain people and promote the fundraiser, there was much fun to be had watching Dom entertain everybody in a cow outfit, including many youngsters and of course all the folks attending. We had a fantastic turn out, and the church was more than supportive of what we were doing to help raise money. We made over $300 towards the well in Africa, which was a great step towards our goal, and after 4 months of multiple fundraisers we've raised over $900 dollars. So, only 3,900 to go. :)


Putt Putt Golf - 18th

Tonight we headed out to the Putt Putt course to have some good ol' fashioned putt putt fun. We had such a big group of people we had to take a few extra cars, because everybody knows that putt putt is such an extreme sport nobody can stay away. Once we arrived we began our extreme game of putt putt golfing, we golfed away, and I displayed my putt putt golfing skills by missing numerous times, but everybody knew I was really taking it easy. As we continued on we had many flying golf balls, and of course we goofed off, what would a youth outing be without goofing off? Once we finished our amazing game of putt putt we headed back to the bus to head home and call it a night.
