Youth Camp-Out
On Friday, August 6, all 6th-12th graders are invited to bring a tent, a sleeping bag, a snack, and a friend to the Ellingsons house for a camp-out. We will meet at the church at 5:45 to carpool. Call Anna for details or if you are going to be late.
AdventureLand Trip
After four years of talking about it, the Young Disciples finally got around to spending a day at the AdventureLand amusement park on Thursday, July 29. Anna, five students, and two friends of the FCC family attended and had a blast!
MOUNTAIN MISSION 2010 RECAP
On Saturday, July 17, the Young Disciples missionaries gathered at the church for breakfast. Several friends and family members joined us for a time of prayer before we headed West. We spent the night at First Christian Church in North Platte, Nebraska. Sunday morning, we worshipped with the North Platte congregation, and had lunch with Pastor Cindy Ballard and her husband before continuing our trip to Loveland, Colorado.
When we reached Loveland, we settled in at St. John’s School with about 110 others from around the country. Camped out in sleeping bags on classroom floors, we expanded our family of friends to include young Christians from eight other youth groups of at least three other denominations in five states.
Each day, we all ate breakfast together, then split into 19 work crews and went out into Loveland and the surrounding communities to do all kinds of projects. The nine of us from Nevada were on eight different crews, serving at a Boys and Girls club; helping at the warehouse of an international ministry; working with Alzheimer’s patients, mentally handicapped adults, and special needs children; and doing yardwork for local residents. At the end of the workday, we showered and returned to St. John’s for dinner, worship, and fellowship.
Our last full day in Colorado was Friday, July 23. We said our goodbyes to our new friends and thanked our Mission Hosts, then headed deeper into the mountains. Most of the day was spent hiking through Rocky Mountain National Park, visiting Alberta Falls and Bear Lake, and enjoying each other in the beauty of God’s creation. After spending the night at FCC Loveland, we drove all the way home on Saturday, July 24.
If you were in church on August 1st, you got just a taste of the stories and experiences while on the trip. Please feel free to ask any of us for more (especially the stories of our MANY “God Sightings”), or to see more pictures! THANK YOU for your prayers and support! Excitement is already building for our next trip!
