Testimony and Mission Night - We traveled the World!

On the third Wednesday of the month, all the youth groups come together for Testimony and/or Mission Night.  Tonight we combined them!

First we heard from Jonathan and Katy about their trip to Peru.
(It was recorded and should be on our website, terracepalms.net).

They shared the who, what, where, how and why of their trip to Peru.  It was great hearing their stories in such a relaxed manner.  After they shared, they opened the floor for Q & A - what a joy to hear the FANTASTIC questions of their peers.  Every question was on point and gave Jo and Katy to share what they learned from their trip.

Next, Ms Jen led us in preparing our hearts to pray for the Haiti Team.

We started our time by seeing this video.  It was filmed in Jacmal, Haiti which isn't too far from Petit Goave... where the team will be.  Take a minute to enjoy!

Next we broke into 6 teams and prayed specifically for each of the team members.  What a precious moment to see all the youth groups, praying together for their church family.

Finally, we all chose a Sewn with Love Dress ... and we prayed for the little girl who will receive it.  What a joy to think that in less than a week and little girl in Haiti will have a BRAND new dress.

We finished out the night serving the church by stacking up all the chairs in prep for the work day and then having cake to celebrate birthdays.  

We had a great night and are thankful for the opportunity to reach beyond the walls of Terrace Palms.

PS  Next week we will be in Haiti - Ms. Tara and Ms. Jen will be leading a game night with both STOMP and ZG.

PPS  We are in search for a pool to host a pool party on June 20. ... let me know if you are aware of one we can use! 

We missed you Victoria and Keanu!! 

Promotion Night - ZG has a new LOOK!!

Hello!

I am so excited to announce that I am teaching Zero Gravity with the Amazing Mr. John.  I am looking forward to understanding the WAYS of ZG.

Tonight, here's what I learned:

- ZG sponsors Djbril in Africa.  ZG has been sponsoring him for a few years so we will continue to support him.  I look forward to learning more about him and writing to him soon.  We are a smaller class, and we'd like to cover the entire cost of supporting him so please bring in $3 - $5 dollars every 3rd Wednesday.  Morgan will be collecting and recording the money donated.  I encourage you to have your child "earn" this money.  Makes giving it much more meaningful.

- There's a ZG mascot.  Tonight I met Henry! He is a paper stuffed snowman that survived the New Years Lock-In.  He is a cutie and the BEST student.  Very well behaved.  He's in our class picture.

- I was educated on snacks!  The kids told me families sign up to bring snacks weekly.  Sammy volunteered to head this up.  You'll be getting an email from him shortly.

- Abbie volunteered to take and share prayer requests!

- Keanu volunteered to encourage Scripture memory.

I think our group is shaping up to be a GREAT team!

Upcoming Weeks:

May 20 - Testimony night from Katy and Jonathan about Peru AND prayer for team going to Haiti

May 27 - Ms. Kim and Mr. John will be in Haiti - so STOMP and ZG will have a group game night.

So excited about the year to come!

If you need me?  Please reach out to me!

I'm here to help your child glorify God and Enjoy Him forever!
