Children, Youth & Confirmation News

November 2006


This past month…

            We had a great turn out for the Fall Festival and Pig Roast.  The youth enjoyed the hayrides and had a great time playing softball.  We have some really talented ballplayers.  The event was a wonderful experience.  Thanks to all who participated.

             We had a great turnout for Children’s Church.  Thirteen children attended, and four youth helped with crowd control and with facilitating the service.  We will do it again this month on November 12th at the 11:00 am service.

            Several of our youth along with parents and mentors attended the Funeral Home visit.  We toured Parthemore’s and learned about their important work.

            The Fall Foliage Day at Kirchenwald, the trip to Zion Assembly, and the Confirmation Retreat at Kentland had not occurred at the time of the writing of this piece.
