This is just a small number of the youth and adults who made catering for the UMW/UMM dinner seem like second nature. What an amazing turnout for the dinner and for the youth. We had over 20 people show up to help and were able to raise OVER $650 for the New Orleans mission trip. Amazing work everyone!

Nick H. played some beautiful music for the audience of 70. With as many musically talented youth as we have in our midst, I wonder why we don't have a youth band. Hmmmm ...

There was a Dance, Dance Revolution contest before the dance on Saturday. You can see Alex H. in the background talking about the moves he was planning for the dance floor that night.

The kitchen crew (Libby McConnell and Tami Clark) and sound crew (John Rice) had a lot of fun watching everyone out on the dance floor.

Stephanie and Alex's small group stop for a picture before they enter the hiking trail where they walked silently (or as quiet as possible) through the prayer stations.

We just got back from the Spiritual Life Retreat at Camp Chippewa (Jan 25-27). It was an amazing opportunity for our high schoolers to fellowship with their peers and nurture their spiritual growth. This picture is an example of some of the "fellowship."
Nice hair, Liz.
- To be fair they were dressed up for the "Futuristic" Dance which was a lot of fun (I even danced ... a little ... and not well, but I danced :)
