Fall 2012

 

Fall of 2012 Activities 

 

Impacting kids to be followers of Jesus Christ involves taking interest in them, helping them to discover how they are uniquely created in the image of God, teaching them from God's word, and creating a community of friends and mentors that they can trust.

 

After Rome Trip Sue and I began settling into the normal routine of school.  We each picked up a group of sophomore students for Wednesday evening small groups.  We meet together to do fun things together, read from the Bible, pray for one another and eat snacks.  "Small Groups" are another means of encouraging our students to grow in their faith and to appreciate growing together in community.

Sue's girls:  Ashley, Karyn, Joyce, Bethany, Alyssa, Ira Lynne, and her co-leader Rachael.

 

 

Bob's small group met one night at a cabin in the woods for a dinner of hot chili on rice.  They then enjoyed some table games and some reading time in the cabin that we heated with the wood stove.  Guys gotta do this kind of stuff!  Here are: Daniel, Derrick, Andrew, Ben, David, Tyler, and Josh (Bob's co-leader)

 

Bob also helped teach some electives at the BFA Middle School.  He had these four boys for "Tool Time".  David, Bret, Caton, and David are hands on kinetic learners who loved being able to get out of the classroom and work with tools.  They were really helpful with all the fix it things Bob had to do this fall season at their school.

 

 

Sue's main responsibility this year is working with these students.  They are the student counsel representatives for their classes (freshmen - senior).  Together they organize and lead the fun activities of the high school.

Their names are:  Greer, Madison, Hanna, Evan F, Jacob, Eunji, Evan G, Grace, Brenton, Audrey, Luke, Sophie.  Their first big event was organizing "Fall Party".  Fall Party is always an occasion to get dressed up in costumes around a particular theme. 

 This year's Fall Party theme was "My Favorite Things"

 

Movies are some students favorite things!

Holidays are some of our favorite things.
There were different holiday stations set up serving food typical of that holiday.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our students put a lot of effort into dressing up for this event.  Do you recognize "The Three Stooges"?

 

 

There was a contest for the best costumes.

 

What movie characters would you guess these dorm kids are dressed up as?

 

How about your favorite video game characters?

A look into our family life this fall season:

 

  The leaves on the vines that grow up the side of our apartment every year always turn beautiful colors in the fall.

 

November 7th is Marshall's birthday.   This year Sue organized a surprise party and prepared some of Marshall's favorite Italian food.
