2010 Blessings

As we've begun 2011 it is a great time to reflect on the many blessings that we've had in the past year. When you look at January 2010 you may say we were going through a difficult time but we have to remember Psalm 23 that "The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want" through all of 2010 God was there guiding us through his perfect timing.
Girls night in March was well attended and loads of fun with food, laughs, music, bible study and friendship bracelets.

Our end of year picnic was obviously fun with over 25 youth in attendance who were willing to move inside due to the rainy weather.
We held many great fundraisers which allowed 20 people attend the National Youth Gathering in New Orleans. The Gathering was once again a spiritual builder for all in attendance and the stories numerous.

Crusader VBS at the end of July was a hit with the middle schoolers and a blessing for the Sr. Youth and parents that helped make the event great.

September brought with us the beginning of our Youth Development Leader call process and November was the installation of Pastor Schwan.

Christmas break brought us our Jr & Sr Youth Night and new youth representatives for the board for 2011.

What a great year and these are a minimal amount of happenings for Zion Youth!

As we look forward to 2011 it is perhaps with more optimism than we had last year at this time and that is nice. Still we know that when God allows the difficult times to come he will be there guiding us every step of the way.
