All Ages Book Club Selection

Wednesday, September 30th, 2009

the giver

I’m very excited to begin a new All Ages Bookclub, open to any age and specializing in all the fabulous literature that spans age categories and generations. There are so many books that can be enjoyed by people of almost any age – think of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory or Winnie the Pooh. At our first meeting in October we can brainstorm a list of future book selections.

The October selection is The Giver by Lois Lowry. This Newberry Award winner explores a dystopian world and asks the question of how much you would be willing to give up in order to always feel “happy”.

The All Ages BookClub will meet Friday, October 23rd at 7pm.

youth group BBQ

Saturday, September 19th, 2009

Our Youth Group for high schoolers has kicked off its year with a BBQ and overnight at the church last night. We were able to utilize the park down the street during this construction time at church, so that our BBQ had plenty of space for frisbee and “baseketball”.

The Youth Group is larger this year, and they have many plans for projects and activities. It’s going to be a great year!

All Church Picnic

Monday, May 18th, 2009

The sun came out and made our picnic really wonderful, as approximately 50 of us spent some time yesterday at Tumwater Historical Park. Picnics were enjoyed, and then out came the frisbees, footballs, and bubbles. The youth group had a meeting, and then headed off to enjoy the park and playground together. Adults of all ages were inspired to try, or wish they could try, cartwheels in the grass. A great day!
