January Review 
  We had two lock-ins!  The SH one went really well with 23 youth doing a scavenger hunt around the city, playing games, talking about how they see God, and a lot more.  The JH one is after the newsletter deadline, but we are expecting 35 kids from 3-4 churches.  Cosmic Bowling, games, Bible study, etc.  The JH also had a Bunco fun night with 10 youth including 3 new visitors and we had a family movie night with about 16 people.
Valentine's Dinner
 
  Well, we have officially registered 14 youth and 3 adults for the gathering! This month is one of our biggest fundraisers the Valentine's Dinner on Sunday, Feb. 15th from 5-7:30 PM.  We need all SH youth to help with dinner.  We also need each family of youth going to provide an appetizer or dessert.  For those going to the dinner the cost is $10 per person and there will also be a dessert auction.  Come join us for a fun evening.
