Today, we hear from Abby Williams,

There are many things that I like about my church.  But my favorite is youth group.  We eat a delicious supper, play a fun game and then have a lesson that helps us learn about God and our faith.  Also, this year we will be going to Camp Comeca in April. We will be swimming, using the zip-line, hiking to the cross on the hill, having a campfire, watching movies, but mostly learn about God and getting closer as a group. I would like to thank our sponsors; the Wiltfongs, the Roachs, the Stocks, the McNeils and the Sullivans for the time they have given to the youth group. Also, all the people who has helped with the meals.  Our youth group meets every first and third Wednesday of the month at 6:30. One of my favorite memories is when it was close to Christmas we had to play a game where we walked with a bandana over our eyes to a table with whipped cream in a plate.  Hidden in the whipped cream was gummy worms and a whistle. With our hands behind our backs, we had to find the whistle and had to be the first one to blow it. One lesson I remember is a Easter lesson where we learned about Jesus being in the tomb.We took a big marshmallow that represented Jesus and wrapped it in a crescent roll which was the tomb. He rose again in the oven then the marshmallow vanished just like Jesus. I am looking forward to all the things I will do in youth group in the years to come.
