Winter Jam 2011

We took 8 teens to Winter Jam in Champaign, IL.  We saw a bunch of bands perform (Newsboys, Kutless, Sidewalk Prophets, Francesca Battistelli, RED and Jason Castro).  It was a great night of jammin'.  We also took the opportunity to visit the best University ever.

Mario Kart Tournament

We had a Mario Kart Tournament at Chill with Phil. It was a blast, especially for those that went far in the bracket! Ethan and Alex ended up being the best but we never did determine a final winner as it got too late in the night to continue. We had to quit due to darkness, or lateness.

Are You Answering the Call?

What it looks like for Christians to never bring Christ to a hurting world.

Teens Involved Service

We held our TI service last night to give opportunities for the teens to share their talents and hone their skillz before the TI event in March.  One of our leaders took a video.

Midwest Food Bank

Our mission team spent a couple hours in Indianapolis working together at the Midwest Food Bank.  We helped with unloading a semi, shrink wrapping pallets of food, storing the pallets in the warehouse, and cleaning.  It was a joy to serve and a great time to be together as a team.
