Youth Ministry News In September we kicked off the new church year with Wednesday night youth meetings that are now called "Youth on Mission." Our middle and high school youth meet from 5:45 until 7:15 PM each Wednesday night for the purpose of learning and completing "hands-on" mission work in our church and community. Recent projects included assisting with Family Promise set up and hosting a Halloween Party at church for our children. Upcoming Youth on Mission projects include Random Acts of Kindness Blitz and spreading pine straw at BCOB. During Sunday Morning Bible Study, our youth recently completed a series on Nehemiah - Rebuilding the Faith. Our youth are currently learning about Paul: Changes, Speaking Boldly, Starting Churches, and Singing in Jail.  Middle and high school youth are invited and encouraged to attend "Youth Night Live" on Sunday evenings from 5:45 until 7:30 PM. We begin each week with a snack supper followed by Bible study and other fellowship events. Our current study is a series of lessons based on The Sermon on the Mount. Individuals and/or Sunday School Classes are invited to serve snack supper on Sunday evenings for our youth. Please contact Jeff in the church office if you are interested in serving snack supper or assisting in other areas related to the youth ministry, 524-3197. Children's Ministry News Our children recently enjoyed Costumes, Candy, and Games, Oh My! on Wednesday, October 29. The evening included trick-or-treating, fun games, and prizes. Thank you for providing candy and prizes for this event. Our children continue to sing and participate in GA's and RA's each Wednesday evening. On Wednesday evening, December 17 our children will enjoy A Night in Bethlehem from 5:45 until 7:15 PM This will be a special night that children will not want to miss. "Hey God, Let's Talk!" will be the theme for an overnight children's (grades 1-5) retreat at BCOB on January 9 and 10, 2015.
