School Supply Drive!


On Saturday, we held a school supply drive at the church building. We provided school supplies to roughly 120 kids including our members. We really enjoyed being able to provide for so many in need. Many people inquired about the church and we handed out "Searching for Truth" DVDs. I really enjoy days like these where we can really interact with the community. The picture is a son of one of the members at church. We had a group from Texas in last week who brought a ton of clothes and some of the school supplies. Karen (from Texas) and I sorted through it all and then delivered it to our members before the drive.

Teen Lock-In


Our intern, Cory planned a teen lock-in on Friday night. We had a great turnout and we had a blast! It started off with a Wii bowling tournament and pizza bagels. Then Cory had some interesting activities that involved whip cream, bubble gum, and lifesavers. We had some wonderful singing (better than the adults) and Bible study. Then we played some board games and got back on the Wii for "Just Dance." It was over at 11 but we couldn't get the kids out of the building! I think they took the words "lock-in" a little too seriously!

It was great to have so many kids there along with two girls that haven't been around in a while because they moved to Tuba City about an hour away. They are living closer to town now with their dad and we hope to see them a lot more.
