Winter Retreat
By Cindy at February 5th, 2007, 09:10am in Senior Youth GroupThe Winter Retreat was a huge success! The youth participated in sessions/discussions on the theme: "Live an Let Die" (The Understanding of Death & Dying). They also had plenty of time for basketball "spoons," eating and getting to know each other a little better. The trip to the Palmyra Bowling Alley was great! Not very many "high scores" but fun was had by all! A big thanks to Bill Reber and Tony Pachuilo for cooking our meals - we never went hungry! If you are interested in hearing more about this weekend, speak to any of the youth or advisors who came along.

24 Hour Famine
By Cindy at March 19th, 2007, 01:47pm in Senior Youth GroupOn Friday, March 16 through Saturday, March 17 the Senior Youth and Advisors participated in a 24-Hour Famine to raise money for World Vision. Even though we did have "juice breaks" and crackers around mealtime, we tried to imagine what it would be like not to have anything or very little to eat. The youth members took on the role of one of the children, including whether they were deaf, mute, cripped in some way, blind, etc. and participated on a number of "tribe" games. This was certainly an eye-opening experiece for both the youth and advisors who participated. The great news is that a total of $1200 was raised for World Vision.

Peach Festival Follow-up
By Christian at August 20th, 2007, 11:33am in Senior Youth GroupThe Alsace Lutheran Church Peach Festival, held on Sunday, July 22nd, was a complete success! Those who attended the festival enjoyed a fun-filled and leisurely day, complete with excellent weather. There were games for kids, a fully stocked "White Elephant" sale, great music, prizes, and, most importantly, no shortage of incredible food!
The Peach Festival is the primary fund raiser for the Alsace Senior Youth Group. Its existence is fundamental in allowing the youth to hold many activities which bring its members closer to God and each other.
To that end, we are pleased to say the profit of this year's Peach Festival is $3,804.86. We would like to thank everyone who patronized us, all who freely donated goods and items, those who helped organize and run the festival, and, most importantly, our awesome God!
We hope to see you all next year!
