"You"th group goes to Nursing home during Sunday school to deliver Valentines
On Valentine's Day, the 5th - high school classes (a.k.a - youth groupers) made and assembled 34 valentine gift bags. We then made our way to Vintage Park in Louisburg to deliver them to the residence residing there and wish them a Happy Valentine's Day. It was great to not only see the residence faces light up when the kids handed over to them a valentine with a hug but it was great to the kids smile also. Later when we were back at church, when asked what they thought about delivering valentines- they really thought that it was a great experience making someone else's day so happy.
Youth Group went to Pie Five and Bocce
On Sunday, February 28, the Youth group went to Pie Five in Overland Park to try out this new restaurant for most of us and we really liked it! We gave it a thumbs up all around! Next we were off to Pinstripes for Bocce Ball. There we hit a snag - long story short - all of the courts were booked. So after a little time to regroup and decide what to do next, the youth voted for Cosmic Jump. We decided we may give it a try another time and next time we will book courts and speak with a manager in charge before we do. Once we made it to Cosmic Jump, the kids seemed to have a good time bouncing, play basketball and dodgeball.
