Six Flags

Our Intern, Dave Tillett, took the Sr. High teens up to Six Flags to spend the day.  We had a great time riding the roller coasters, eating $30 fries and drinking $20 cokes!

Batman coaster...Phil's favorite.

Senior Night 2011

Here are some pictures from Senior Night.  Several from Silas' Song led the music tonight and did a great job.  We had a Jeopardy game during the lesson that would have gone better if people would remember to respond in the form of a QUESTION!

"What is...I have no idea how to play Jeopardy?"  Correct!

It was fun though and hopefully something sunk in from James chapters 4 and 5.  If not, please re-read and digest.

Our leaders did a wonderful job this year and thanks to those that organized the food!

Each of the Seniors got a bandana...a little something to remember me by. This might be one of my favorite pictures of the year! 

Chill with Phil

Tonight was our last Chill with Phil of the year.  We had a smaller crowd than normal and the girls gabbed most of the night but we had fun playing Chess, H-O-R-S-E and Mario Kart!

Class of 2011

Tonight was our last night of Lifeline for 2010-11.  We're going to miss the Class of 2011.  Congrats Seniors and God Bless!

Dave Tillett Experience

Dare 2 Share Conference

We took our Student Leadership team to Hoffman Estates, IL for the Dare 2 Share conference.  There the teens were more equipped and challenged to share their faith.  The GOSPEL is what it's all about!

Shane & Shane led the worship and we were encouraged by messages from Greg Stier, Zane Black and Propaganda.  There was also and excellent drama that spoke about reaching the world for Jesus.

The youth leaders!

Lunch at Rookies

Ready for the prayer walk.

Prayer walk at a local High School.  Praying for teens at this school as well as our own.

We took this picture primarily for Jon Nagel...one of last years Student Leadership team members.

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.
