First Annual Youth Ministry Awards Night, Saturday May 9th

Middle School Snow Tubing Trip, January 18, 2009

Our annual Middle School Snow Tubing Trip up to Ski Liberty was Sunday January 18th.  At a balmy 30 degrees it was a heat wave compared to the week before so we were able to enjoy the wind in our faces as we dashed down the hill.  Click here to check out the pictures (and video clips!) from the day!

 

Hershey Park, Sunday Aug 24th

Our last hooray of the summer before the start of school was a trip up to Hershey Park to celebrate the start of the new year.  From the new Fahrenheit (and the hour and half wait in line) to the killer waterpark we said goodbye to summer in style.
