Winter Blitz 2009 Jr Hi

The gym is really cool and super new, volley ball and even wii! Yep. So, Sr Hi get ready for next weekend.

Oh yeah the speaker is great, too! Trusting God is always a good thing to think about, isn't it?

So cute!!!

Happy Birthday, Nathan!!! We've been celebrating all day long and Nathan is totally "milking"it!

It's so great here...the food is good and the cabins are warm. The bathrooms...well they will soon be re-done and we can tell why. But who spends time in the bathroom at camp?

Guy/Girl talk continues this week with the Guy topic: HANGING WITH GOD & the Girl topic: WHO'S RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT?. Should be good. Thanks to our small group girl leaders for making this a really great way to talk out these issues.

See you all tomorrow night!

Snacks!...always a hit...THANKS GRANT (thank your mom, too -she's awesome).

Snack this Sunday: Delisles

Yep, another "BEST EVER" game by Mr. Steve. He's so amazing isn't he? And imagine all the skills you are gaining...

Some of you, aced this challenge...and were sent by your team again and again.

Others wished to be taller for this one, but still managed to prevail...

All in all you were good sports and we appreciate it!

The Band is back and they are doing

a lot of work to get WORSHIP going

again at Vantage Point each Sunday

night. So, sing extra loud and with an

open heart. Remember that worship is all about HIM, not us.

Sunday Night -Guy Talk/Girl Talk

Another spectacular BEST EVER GAME you 'll never wanna stop playing with your family and friends from Mr. Steve...the "who can put the little piece of tape highest on the wall" game.

The faces of the adventurous climbers have been strategically hidden for legal reasons.

Of course we had to judge the height of the little tape scraps...

And hey you gotta admit it was better than last weeks TP Adventure...

So come out this SUNDAY to sit on the couches, play games at the new table and learn some GUY/GIRL stuff from God's Word. It'll be great!

Check it out! Every Sunday Night for the next ten weeks, we'll be splitting up on Sunday nights for this series. It's being lead by Mr. Stephen and I and the girls are splitting up even further to talk through the topics. The Seniors are helping us out and Emily, Lisa and Caitlin each have a group and are already enjoying them.

And...come out for another great -I mean BEST EVER Game from Mr. Steve! Here's a peek at the last BEST EVER GAME:

New Diggs!!!

Yep you heard it...we've got new diggs! It's gonna be really fun to play games at the table and sit on couches that don't REEK!

We actually tried out the place on Wednesday -Tim's Birthday -and it was pretty good. Clean at the very least. So, see ya tomorrow night for YOUTH and come early to get a good seat on the new couches!

STUFF...

Did you guys remember your Vantage Point Bible Homework? At a mirror, thinking of what Jesus sees in you -really...not just your perception -read what He thinks in PSALM 139. And remember we are not known to God by our limitations but by who He has created us to be...His plans for us...

Parent Meeting after Church about Winter Camp in the chapel.

3.And.... TOILET PAPER! Yep, everybody bring a roll or two to youth tomorrow night. You'll be able to bring it right back home without anyone even noticing!...unless you take the one right off the holder -that could be bad.
