Blog Update 02/18/2010

    Last night at youth group we had 28 people in youth group. We had a good night.

    We all liked both the cakes that were brought to celebrate Paul's birthday!! Thanks Amber and "the trips" for bringing the cakes, they were delicious! J

    Yesterday in youth group we talked about how Jesus is ALIVE. This is so amazing and so awesome. Our savior lives!! One of the main ways we know that Jesus lives is because He lives in us. When Jesus comes into our lives, when Jesus comes into our hearts we are changed. We are no longer living by the old nature, but we are made a new person in Christ.

    When Christ comes into our lives we should be transformed. We should love the same things God loves. We should be concerned about things God is concerned about. We should be focused on things that God is focused on. We should be focused on the things are important to God. Jesus Christ coming into our hearts should be life changing. We know that Jesus lives because He lives in us. You ask me now I know He lives…He lives within my heart.

    Being a Christian is not all about just follow a set of rules or just trying to do the right thing. Being a Christian is about having Jesus in your heart and allowing Him to change your life. If you would like to more, if you want this in your life please feel free to talk to me at any time.

    This Saturday we have a game night at PBC from 6:00-10:00. We are going to play some crazy games and have a lot of fun!! I'm looking forward to it!!

Youth Article about the new years lockin allnighter, by Victoria Bristow

Lock-In

We all know 2010 has crept up on us, ready or not. So the question is, how did you spend your New Years Eve? The youth had a blast ringing in the New Year together. We started out at nine pm and went till nine am the next morning! Derek organized games and activities to keep us busy all night. Some included a team treasure hunt. Where teams competed to find objects all around the church. A couple rounds of underground church, if you don't know what that is, it's a hide and seeks type game with NO lights. Then we can't forget the mummy fashion show. A special thanks to all the volunteers who made this happen from providing food to chaperoning. We hope all attendees had a fun time and look forward to the next all nighter!

God Bless,

Youth Article about our new committees, by Victoria Bristow

Committees

Have you been told you would be a great actor? Do you have an interest in playing an instrument? Are you able to look at a room and visualize just how you want it to look? Well, if so you should come join one of the newly starting committees at PBC Youth. The clubs meet on Sundays at five pm and last until six and then there is church right after until seven. But don't worry if you are talented in multiple areas you may be in up to three of the following:

*Band

*Drama

*Newsletter

*Decoration

*Outreach

Each of these clubs has different tasks that need to be accomplished and need dedicated and unique individuals to help them take off. So if you think you might be interested in offering your skills to a committee talk to Derek to get you signed up for one right away.

God Bless,

Youth Article about Camp, By Ben Coffman

Last Year, our youth group went to an awesome summer camp. It's called Centrefuge, or as some of us like to call it, 'Fuge. It's a week filled with fun, games, worship, and most importantly, God. It's a week where our youth group as a whole, and each and every one of us, grow and learn more about God. It's such a refreshing week, and brings us back to Perryville Baptist Church charged up for Christ. Centrefuge is the biggest event on our calendar all year, and it deserves it, because it's just that awesome. It changed the lives of the 23 people that went last year. Even the adult chaperones that go each year are truly blessed. This year we'll be going to camp in Greenville, South Carolina. We hope that this year's camp experience will be truly as awesome as last years. We still have a LOAD of spots open, so see Derek if you wanna jump on board for this life changing trip.

Super Bowl Party

Super Bowl Party Blog

    Currently I am at the Super Bowl party we are having for the youth group. We just watched the pick-six the saints had to put them up by 14. Awesome play. Too bad there were only 5 or 6 of us watching. The majority of the youth do not seem to be interested in the game. We have one doing homework, and many of the others are playing games. But it has still been a fun party, with good food, good fellowship, and good friends. But we do have a lot of cleaning up at the Bakers before we can leave.

    Earlier tonight we took a poll and there were 5 of us rooting for the Saints and 13 rooting for the Colts. We really haven't heard or seen too many of the commercials because of all the noise and game playing but it has been fun nonetheless.

    We did not have as many people at this Super Bowl as expected, but we still know how to have a good time at the PBC youth.

    The two minute warning just hit and a few more people are now watching the game, still not even half of us are watching though. Now Ben is attempting to talk in an accent…not sure where it is supposed to be from though..Now it sounds a bit Scottish, now Middle Eastern, I don't think he knows what is going on, none of the rest of us do. Victoria is showing off her backpack but it isn't as cool as mine J.

    AND THE SAINTS JUST WON!!! WOOOHOOO!!! What a good party, for the most part. We had a good time and now it is time to clean up and get ready to leave and go home. It is only 9:44 I have just been informed by Victoria, thanks, nothing gets by you. We have a good party and a fun time. Thank you all for coming and for a mostly great party. I look forward to the next one.
