2008-08-25T05:41:00.001-03:00

Hello friends
Just thought I'd drop everyone a little note, about what's going on.
Youth in Action
The C.E. committee would like to offer a jr and sr Sunday school class this year, and I was asked if I would like to teach one of them...I decided, after much deliberation that I would step back, and support the CE folks by encouraging you to try out the new programs, instead of running Youth In Action along side...it was not an easy decision... but I pray that the teachers will be blessed with your participation and that you continue to grow on your individual spiritual journey's.
as for
Youth Group
I plan to hold a planning meeting next week with the leaders, and if all goes according to plan, we will start Sept 14th...keep and eye out for more notes, or the blog.

I trust everyone had a busy, yet enjoyable summer...looking forward to a great year of Youth Group
thanks for your time
take care
bye for now
Peace

Youth Group 2007 in review

2008-01-26T09:59:00.000-04:00

The year has been another busy blur...hard to believe that 365 days have whistled by.
Thank you for your continued support; financially, spiritually,emotionally, and physically. Our group has been blessed to have dedicated leaders in Marlene Porter, Angel Pulsifer, Brian Crouse, Laura Mappleback, and Mark and Pam Davidson...leaders that really care about the youth and each other...

Thank You and the leaders for your efforts.

We have added to our program, with the use of a laptop. We continue our blogging, and have entered the era of Facebook and Msn.

We are continuing relationships with youth that have moved on in their careers and education, while building and growing new relationship with these new mediums.

We have kept very busy home and away, with an array of fun activities.

We are looking forward to what challenges and adventures will bring for this wonderful band of youth this coming year.

He has truly blessed our community

2005 youth Group Report

2006-01-15T10:04:00.000-04:00

Port Williams Baptist Church Youth Group
2005 Report

www.portwilliamsyouthgroup.blogspot.com

We entered the electronic age with a blog site of our very own(

The youth and parents, and world can visit the site, find out what’s happening, and leave comments or directly e-mail Ted.

We trimmed our phone tree down to fifty six youth that come to youth group…with an average attendance in the high twenties to a season high of fifty youth attending the corn maze and bonfire night.

We regularly attended The Rally in the Valley Youth Worship program…youth led drama, skits, praise, prayer, and a keynote speaker

Our fearless Leader Dave and his brave assistant Cynthia, led us in an intergenerational game night of Diamond Smuggling

The grade nine to university crowd had fun experiencing paint balling with other Valley youth groups…a new activity that had us out several times this year.

The seniors continue to help us with ideas for their program, and one yearly event shopping trips to Halifax is a favourite

We also enjoyed: board games, floor hockey, dark games, pizza and a movie night, (the projector is awesome with surround sound), coasting, curling, Games and Activities Galore nights, Car Wash, Yard Sale, BBQ’s, Corn Boil, (Thanks to Peter Elderkin) , A Lock-In, and lots of food and pop, and just plain hangin out and havin fun(

We would also like to take this moment to think of our beloved Mado
That fought a good fight against cancer, and was called home last spring…she really loved the Youth

I will never forget the crew of youth, and parents that came to rake her lawn and then we had a BBQ celebration with her and presented her with flowers, bushes, outdoor lounge chair, and many cards and basket of presents…and she had “two hotdogs with the works…don’t forget the onions “
She may have passed from here…but we know she is praying for us and helping prepare for us and patiently awaiting to greet us to the BBQ on the otherside…Thanks Mado

Thank You to all of you whom prayed for her and the youth…and your continued support for the group

Thank You also to Perry and family for their generosity to the Youth Group

And last but not least
Thank You
To the leaders
Mark and Pam Davidson, Kevin Forney, Marlene Porter, Angel Pulsifer, Devin Pulsifer, Ashley Tupper
