Tonight, we had another wonderful meal prepared by the kitchen volunteers. Scott then led us downstairs for a terrific game of Family Feud Bible Edition in the Senior High room. We had 20 youth present and they really impressed us with their knowledge of the Bible.
Up Next: Next week, Feb. 3rd, is the Super Bowl Party for all Senior High youth at the Zeugners' house.
Feb. 10th: We'll use our meeting time to get started planning for Youth Sunday! Bring your talents and ideas!

Ski Trip!
Last weekend, 3 advisors and 16 youth visited Boone and enjoyed perfect weather for skiing. Our scripture discussion for the weekend followed Simon Peter through a down time (valley) in his life when Jesus rebuked him in Mark 8:31-33, to a mountaintop experience, when Jesus was transfigured before him, in Mark 9:2-9. We discussed how like Peter, a lot of times we may be confused about our faith, and focused too much on worldly things, but that God gives us "spiritual mountaintop experiences" to give us a glimpse of his glory. We discussed how the mountaintop is a place where we, like Peter, would like to dwell, but that in our faith, it is our duty to come down from that mountain to share these experiences with others.

Christmas Party 2007
The senior high youth and advisors celebrated Jesus' birth and the end of the first semester at our house on Dec. 16th. We shared some great appetizers and then traded our funny gifts in what has become our traditional Christmas "White Elephant" gift exchange. Some of the most coveted gifts included an "Easy Button", Froot Loops cereal bowls, and one rather unusual purse.
