Chill with Phil Christmas Extravaganza

We had a great night with our Christmas edition of Chill with Phil.  25 teens and four adults attended the event making it the highest attended CWP event in history!  Several WOL alums were able to participate which accounts for the historic numbers.  It's a blessing to have them back and in on the fun. 

We had a fun time "chillin'".  We enjoyed playing Euchre, Bananagrams, Guesstures and catching up from the break.  Nineteen of us participated in the grab bag gift exchange.  I ended up with a groovy M&M t-shirt.  Other gifts included candy and pop, playing cards, compass/whistle/thermometer combo keychain, Chill w/ Phil shirt, more candy/food and a dancing Christmas turkey!  Thanks to all those that were able to make it out!

RPD Breakfast

We took the opportunity this morning to serve breakfast to the Rensselaer Police Department.  We very much appreciate those on our local police force who give of themselves to protect and serve our community!  This was a small way we could say 'thank you' for the job that they do. 

We had eleven teens and eight adults invade City Hall, as well as others who donated coffee cakes, fruit, juice, etc.  This was a great serving opportunity between our WOL Club and the Men of Valor ministries.

Revelation

Our Quiet Time devotions are currently taking us through the book of Revelation.  While it's a difficult book to understand, it is important to stick with it.  Look at what verse three of chapter one says:

Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near.

So be encouraged! You will be blessed for reading it! Parents, encourage your teens to press on, read the passages along with them and talk about it together.
