Thank you to everyone who helped with our huge Youth Weekend, especially all the people who brought food: Alice, Joyce, Betty, Patrick, and Dana. The dinners really were a life saver because they allowed me to keep hanging out with the kids instead of spending an hour or two cooking and preparing food.
The weekend was a whole lot of fun. We drifted between a low of 5 youth at once and a high of 14, depending on the day and time. It was mix-and-match attendance each day so when you step back and look 18 different kids were able to come to some part of the weekend or other. We discovered all kinds of games, ate plenty of good food, got to know each other better, and all of them took turns petting our cats...who were quite happy! All in all it was a huge success.
Thanks again to everyone who helped. And you youth-type folks can anticipate that we'll be doing something sort of like this during Spring Break as well...maybe not quite so constant and extensive, but there will be times to come over for sure!

P.S. Church folks, don't forget Lenten Evening Service this Wednesday at 7:00 at the Valley and the movie "Luther" as our first Lenten movie at 6:30 this Saturday at the parsonage.
