Man Bear turns 16

On Wednesday nites, we meet at the Parsonage of the church. We take this time to study His Word, to chat about life, to join in fellowship.

This past Wednesday was a great time of fellowship--we celebrated JRapps 16th birthday!!! His mom and dad brought meatball subs, chips, and cake. We had a lot of laughs. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHNNY!!!!

As we ate we thought of questions to ask our host homes for this Saturday's Progressive Dinner. Question freely flowed like: "When did you come to know the Lord?"; "How old were you?"; "Have you ever led anyone to Christ?" Great, great questions.

We love our Teen Sheep!!!

New Year 2008

It's a new year. A new year to grow together, stronger, and closer to God. CLOSER TO GOD. This is the direction we want the group to focus on...yes, we will still be doing the fun stuff=the bowling, the movies, the games....but what we all must remember is that none of this would be possible without His blessing, without His directions, without His timing. Praise God for His prearranged plan. Praise Him for His Son Jesus. Praise Him that He is a forgiving God.

This year surrender your "junk" to Him. Take that inventory of your life. What are you hanging onto? What is it that seperates you with the personal relationship with Jesus? What can you give up and release that will draw you closer to Him?

Pray with us for His guidance for the Pompey Teen Group. It IS His group. He has great things planned for us all. He wants to use us for His good.

Thy Kingdom come!!!

Freaky Sleigh Ride

How does the childhood song go....."Over the river and through the woods....." Well, our sleigh ride got DERAILED because just before we were to go on the sleigh ride the horses went "into the TREE!!!!". Here's the full story: We drove to Highland Forest following Rescue trucks and ambulances. We arrived at Highland Forest, met up with our friends from Dewitt Community Church, and got in line. Only to find out that a cross country skier got into the path of the sleigh, spooked the horses, the horses took off into a tree!!!! FREAKY or what!!!! Thankfully the passengers did not get hurt, but the sleigh driver broke her leg. So, we will try the sleigh ride at a different time. But here are some fun pictures :o)

Bowling Nite

What a crazy fun night we had last Saturday the 8th! 20 of us went bowling in Fayetteville. John W. proved to be the STRIKE KING with 4 strikes in a row!!! And he doesn't use the holes in the bowling ball! Our friend Will sported a unique bowling outfit for the evening and demonstrated his bowling warm up technique. Lots of laugh and fun.....

Church's Christmas Tree Decorating

We had a great time decorating the tree for the church this past Saturday. The Anna's, Ben, Rochelle, and Christina were there to decorate the tree that was donated by Page's tree farm. Also joining us were Ty and Tori. We recieved many compliments on the tree on Sunday from church members. Thanks to all who joined in on the fun!!!

Some stuff we did in 2007

Arise at the Farm

Lincoln Brewster/ Bonfire

Kingdom Bound 2007

Ice Skating with church family at Clinton Square.

Hard to believe that a whole year has gone by. Remember all the fundraising craziness to earn money for KB? Cookbooks---only 30 left to sell!!! The Rummage Sale...The Chix BBQ....Many fun events last year too==Crunch game, ice skating, swimming at the Miller's.

Then we survived our first ever Kingdom Bound 2007- what an amazing learning, growing experience. And now that we have done it once, next year will be even better! And RV's next time. :o)

Let's see we had a bonfire with the Teens from DCC and look forward to seeing them again. We saw Lincoln Brewster in an awesome concert. Singing out Everlasting God......And spent a great day with our new buddies at Arise at The Farm. Most recently we gathered to make pumpkin bread for the some folks in the church and wrapped boxes for Operation Christmas Child. It has been a quick year.

And what we always need to remember is that we do everything in honor and glory of Him!!!

"Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit." Galatians 5:25

Our new blogger

Hey all!
It was recently suggested a blogspot for the Teen Group. The more I thought about it, the better the idea got. Let's use this space to communicate just what PCC Teens are doing! Email this blogger to friends that are interested in the group, but just don't yet know the Lord. Invite these friends into a relationship with God. You never know how an invitation could change someone's life (Todd and I can give testimony to that AMEN!)
From this site we can post comments. It is a great way for our out of town Teens to keep in touch too.
Praise Him for calling on us to lead you. I pray that you open your hearts and ask how He would like to use you too! When doing the Lord's call, it doesn't take away from your time.... No....it gives meaning to your time.
God Bless <><
