Dance Party Raises Over $800 for Missions – February 10, 2012

The Renew & Remix Dance Party Extravaganza on Friday, February 10, 2012 was a success on many levels: fun, fellowship, and raising money for Children, Youth, and Adult Missions!

The night began with a re-affirmation of wedding vows led by “Elvis” inserting portions of his song lyrics in the liturgy.  After Joe & Norma Adair cut the wedding cake (receiving that honor as they were the longest married couple there – 61 years), “Elvis” sang “Love Me Tender” for the married folk to dance to.

Following that, the evening gained steam as people of all ages hit the dance floor – dancing for about 2 hours!

In all, over $800 was raised – the majority to benefit the 2012 Summer Youth Mission Trips!

See pictures below!

Re-Telling the Nativity Story by the Sr. High Youth

What if Jesus had been born today – in Mexico?

When tasked by the youth director, Jeff Ginn, with re-telling the nativity story, the Sr. High went with that exact approach.  The purpose of the “assignment” was to add some fun to the annual Youth Christmas Party, which was held Sunday, December 18, 2012 at the First Rock Ministry Building.  This is a lot of fun!

Many thanks to the youth (and youth assistant, guitar player, Dylan Haynes) for making this video and to Faith Cooper for editing the video!

Enjoy!
