Skit Night!

Halloween is coming up on Wednesday, but we had our own costume party (sort of) on Sunday night at Senior High  youth group.  We had skit night!  We broke into a couple groups and each had costumes and props to bring creativity to an idea - actually to a myth.  The myth that Jesus was just a "good teacher."

At first it didn't seem like any of you wanted to be a part of it.  However, by the end of the night most of the students were able to make it fun and be creative.  Above, Tina and Anna acting as extra demons.

We had a good time and thanks for playing along!  Above, it's Kalven Bonin giving his best Toescum!

Each group was led by two directors.  Here we have our dubious duo of Hanna and Jason leading the group.  Jaycie looks too relaxed.

Above, Becca narrates while Hailey does her best as the chairman of the demonic committee!

Thanks again everyone for participating!

Oh summer, where did you go?

I saw snow outside today.  Yikes!

Remember that one time when we had Bayside Summer Olympics?

Those were the days.

Here are a couple pics from when the weather was warm and the sun was out:

And Aaron won.
Enjoy the new weather!

Ukraine Mission Trip information

As of right now we are planning a youth group missions trip to Ukraine for the summer of 2013!  Here at Bayside we have a special connection with Ukraine and that includes a sister church that we have visited several times.  Our plan is to send a group of youth students and some adults from Bayside to our sister church in Ukraine for a week of ministry next summer.

Would you consider going to Ukraine to serve God and the people of our sister church and its community?

Please pray about it.  We will have an informational meeting to see how many students are interested.  The meeting will be on Sunday night, November 4, at 8:00pm.  Right after SR HIGH youth group.  So please plan on attending to learn more about this trip.  If you cannot attend the meeting please just let Pastor Tom know that you are still interested.

Thanks!
