A lot of stuff has happened at youth group lately! So here is an update for all of those who haven't been there, or for all of those who want to know :)
This Sunday during Sunday school there will be a missions trip presentation from the group that went on the mission trip to Ohio. ALL YOUTH THAT ATTENDED THE MISSIONS TRIP ARE REQUIRED TO BE THERE! Please be there by 9:15! The presentation will be in the sanctuary. All youth should be prepared to share a memory or something from the trip :)
Also on this Sunday (the 30th)...we are having our fifth Sunday lunch. The youth are required to stay after and help clean up since the money collected during the lunch will be donated to help the youth go on the trip in January.
Speaking of the trip in January...we are going to Pigeon Forge, TN over Martin Luther King Jr. weekend. This is a 3 day convention that the youth will be attending that is focusing on standing up for your faith and having nothing to lose if you have God. I think that this convention will be very beneficial for each youth of all ages, no matter where they are in their walk with God. The only reasons we would not go on this trip will be if weather does not allow us. Since Martin Luther King Jr. day is usually a make up day for schools, a lot of the youth may not be able to attend, so we will just play it by ear. I really hope the trip works out though. The youth will be having many opportunities to raise money for the trip, including a possible future benefit concert put on by the youth praise band.
The youth leader search committee is still working hard to post the job description and get things together to start looking for the best candidate for the youth leader. Please keep the search committee, the youth, and the church in your prayers so God provides the best fit for the position.
The youth will be having a Halloween party at Maddie Smith's house since Halloween is on a Wednesday this year. More information to come.
The youth will also be going to Indy sometime within the next couple months and handing out cookies and hot chocolate/lemonade to the homeless. If you would be interested in donating homemade cookies, let us know!
Please continue to pay attention to the papers and different things for updates on sports around the area. A lot of youth are involved and many are excelling in their sports! I am so proud of all of them.
The youth have been responding so well to my current lessons! If you ever want a copy of my lessons that are presented, let me know. Recent topics have included: listening to what God thinks about you, knowing you are worth it, and filling your life with things that matter.
Guess that is all for now. Hopefully I can be more faithful to updating this from now on!

New People and New Fun!
Hello again everyone!
This update will be short.
The youth group would like to extend a wonderful WELCOME! to the newcomers this past week. Welcome to Noah, Isaac, and Harli! We hope to see you guys again soon :)
There are no permanent dates for upcoming events as of now. But be sure to check all websites for updates soon :)
The first Sunday night youth group went so great :) I was so glad to see everyone that showed up. I hope the groups get bigger and bigger as this goes. I think it is so important to have this time to just hang out, have fun, and enjoy each other's company as a youth group. Be sure to bring your homework too! There is plenty of time to do it and plenty of help around if you need it.
I went shopping for groceries today. Please be respectful and try not to eat everything at once haha.
A congratulations to the youth praise band for their performance last week! Everyone was very impressed, and I personally thank you for singing the song I asked you to sing haha. Can't wait to see what you guys work on next. Erynn has done such a great job! Also a congratulations to Erynn for her performance today during church. It was beautiful as always :)
Wednesday night at 6:30 and Sunday nights at 6:30! Be there :)
P.S.
Congratulations to the Alexandria Tiger Football team for the winning streak so far...and to the Alexandria Tennis team for their county win! Keep up the good work everyone. So proud of everyone :)
Fun fact:
In Akron, OH...it is illegal to display colored chickens for sale.

Testing, testing
Hey everyone!
I tried making another blog called "Yo, yo, yo...here is your info!" Haha but it didn't work for some reason. So let's give this a shot.
I am trying to give everyone a chance to stay up to date on different things happening at youth group at FBC in Alexandria. Today we talked about different forms of communication, and we decided to give a blog a shot. Now, to say that I have been a faithful blogger in the past while trying to keep people up to date on my personal life, that would be a lie. But I promise to do what I can to keep this blog up to date. I hope to also add different "authors" to this blog, so that everyone can post different things. **PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT YOUR GOOGLE ACCOUNT EMAIL IS** so I can add you on here. If you don't have one, make one. It is really simple and you don't really have to use it for anything besides signing on here. It will be similar to the Facebook page, but maybe more...interesting. And not on Facebook and so easily overlooked.
So here we are...this is the blog. And it is cool. Everyone should be jealous of how awesome this is going to be. Just saying. I'm excited, and I hope that it is a good way to keep everyone informed.
Special dates to remember:
- August 19: Youth praise band singing during Sunday morning worship service
- August 19: Youth praise band pizza appreciation party hosted by Erynn and Amy @ 7:00 p.m. (Please only praise band members at this event).
- August 26: Sunday night youth group/hang out/let's be together and love God nights will start! (Better name for this still needs to be decided haha). Be at the church at 6:30 p.m. Bring homework and hang out! Snacks as always will be provided.
- August 29: Youth leader search committee will be meeting with the youth group. Please try to make it to this informational meeting so you know what is going on and what to expect
EVERY WEDNESDAY - Youth group at 6:30 p.m. Bring yourself and a friend (or 2 or 3 or 4) out to youth for snacks, fellowship, and a time to learn about God and other issues. Youth praise band to follow until 8:00.
* Please be sure to let me know what sports, shows, or events you will be participating in this school year. It is very important to me to support all of you as much as I can!
DO NOT JUST IGNORE MY POSTS! Jeeze! Haha :) This is just my first post so give me some time, I hope to have more fun things next time like quotes and pictures or whatever.
Fun fact: It is against the law to whale hunt in Oklahoma.
Have a good night!
