Teen meeting with Damon G. speaking























We were blessed on Friday, Feb 8th with guest speaker Damon Gagnier. Damon taught from the book of Luke and held a captive audience with his stories of "everyday miracles", his conversations with his athiest co-worker, Bible history, how exponentially impossible evolution is, and so much more. He also explained with a water/ice/steam example the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. We are excited to have Damon speak to the Teen Group again in the future!!! THANK YOU DAMON!!!
We also learned alot about one another with a few games of ALL IN THE FAMILY. We learned that Kevin's favorite movie is Pride and Prejudice (LOL) and that Christina has a fear of Aliens that aren't Christians (but if they are Christian Aliens--she's ok). An awesome nite. Praise God for these evenings!!!

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.....
