Roseville Youth Group

Howdy buckeroos!

Sorry, I just spent the past weekend in the south for WINTERFEST 2008! We had a fantastic time in Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Everyone came back safely and the level of drama was very minimal. Winterfest was completely sold out this year with about 13,000 people in attendance. The worship, drama, art, teaching, etc. was amazing. I hope those you didn’t get the opportunity to attend this year’s event will be able to make the trip with us for next year. Winterfest is not only one of the most fun things we do all year, but it is also one of the most uplifting and inspirational experiences we have all year.

Winterfest is only the beginning of 2008′s journey of fun and enlightenment. This Saturday, February 23, we welcome Company from Rochester College to the Roseville Church of Christ. At 6:00p, we will begin with a time of worship. Then, Company will perform their drama meant to both entertain and encourage. After we are dismissed, refreshments will be served in the fellowship hall (a.k.a. church basement). For our group, and anyone else wishing to stay, we are going to order pizza, show a movie, and play some games. The movie choice is up to everyone, but I wouldn’t mind seeing Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer with some Rifftrax played over it. Bring $4 for the pizza and soda. We will wrap things up around 10:30p.

Finally, I am still accepting registration for Illuminate at the Rochester Church of Christ. Illuminate is a huge youth conference with great speakers, musical performances, drama, and much more to offer. Those who attended last year had a fantastic time. We will again be staying with the Brazles and their pooch named Mya. The dates are March 14-15. There will also be a program for adults. The cost for adults is $10 and the cost for students is $25. This cost covers the conference and lunch on Saturday. As always, don’t let cost be an issue. If that is the only thing holding you back, let me know as soon as possible. Well… that is all for now. Contact me with any comments or questions!

OK, so Company won’t be dressing up in wacky outfits like this… but wouldn’t that have been hilarious?
