Beautiful One

Resurrection Day picnic

Well, here are a few shots from the prestigious Hydro Park, where the church celebrated Jesus' resurrection with a picnic and some games. For the sake of Nessy, Darci, Armando, and other people who aren't around right now, I'll include a brief description of each picture.

Jacqueline graciously turns her attention to the camera while in the middle of watching a soccer match. You may see the pastor in the background. He was the referee.
From left to right, we have Nikki, Talia, Diana, Grace, and Ivory. They are seated on one of the tables in the covered area at Hydro Park, just talking.
A group of the youth (and Roger) played some basketball for a while. Holding the ball is Adam. Guarding him is Diana, and Ivory and Ruth are in the background, along with Gonzalo's foot.
Ivory and Diana...

Wet, rainy, car-washing fun

Oh, happy day...

I am here to report that the car wash was a success! We washed cars from about 9 a.m. until around 1:30-ish. We earned about $177, which along with our other mini fundraisers, puts us at 3/5 of the way to our goal of $500. I'll let you do the math.

Anyway, I suppose y'all would like to see some pictures of the event, so I won't disappoint you. -->

Actually, my computer is acting up right now, so I won't be able to post any pictures at the moment. Keep checking back, though ... maybe tomorrow ...

Happy Easter!!! or ... Resurrection Day!

Car Wash!

The youth car wash will take place this Saturday, April 15th. We're meeting at Albertson's at 7:30 a.m. Bring money for lunch or pack your own lunch. Also, please remember to bring what you promised to:

• Ivory, Dahlia: Bath towels, hose, buckets, and brush
• Diana, Gonzalo: Bath towels and hose
• Victor: Bath towels and buckets
• Eunice, Isaac: special drying towel
• Dorian: Sponges and hose
• Carlos: Buckets
• Grace: Brush

If you want to bring something else or if you missed the meeting, please bring whatever you can to help! Also remember to mark items you bring with your name so they can be returned to you after the car wash.

Next, please bring whatever you can to this Wednesday's bake sale. A special reminder to Diana, Dahlia, and Victor, who already promised to contribute. I am very excited for all of the events we have planned, and I hope all of you are, also! Again, keep checking back here for updates, and rejoice! God loves you!

David Crowder- Oh Praise Him

Here is a video with David Crowder teaching/playing the song Oh Praise Him. Should load a little quicker than Jason Upton's video but may still take a while with dial-up.
Enjoy.

April Update

Hola, Jovenes! I would just like to update you all on the happenings within our group:

First of all, last night the girls had a sleepover at Deborah's house. I'm sorry that I couldn't get any pictures :( but we did have fun eating pizza and watching home videos of YOU out there when you were a baby! The attendance was 5, including Deborah. Come on, girls!!! Get off that rear end!! And, as for the guys, sorry you weren't included!

Next, you all know about the Sons and Daughters Conference by now, I'm sure. Well, if you want to go, the time has come to get moving and get active! Our goal is to raise at least $500, which would cover the hotel and gas costs only. Think we can do it? Be listening for meetings concerning the following:

CAR WASH: Saturday, April 15th at Albertson's.

YARD SALE: Sometime in April ...

JOVENES WEDNESDAYS: The next jovenes service will be on April 12th. This can provide us with a great opportunity to ask the congregation for financial help.

Also, please remember to fill out and turn in to Dahlia your "Letter of Intent" if you want to go to the conference.

Keep checking here for updates, and keep on persevering in the faith. God loves you!
