Annual Youth Chicken Dinner Fundraiser '10

-
The Youth had another great BBQ Fundraiser on the first weekend in November. This is getting to be quite an FBC tradition. Thanks to everyone who made it happen!
-

-
We enjoyed pots and pots and pots of Jackie's secret sauce. A bunch of the guys started cooking at 1 or 2 a.m.
-

-
We appreciate all the ways our church supports the youth ministry. Please keep them in your prayers, that they can spread the love of Christ among WSHS and surrounding schools.

VBS 2010: Saddle Ridge Ranch

Psssst.....
Howdy, Wrangler, Just a note to remind you . .
-
-VBS this week has turned First Baptist Church into Saddle Ridge Ranch.

-
July 25 - 30, 6-9 pm, Supper included.
Little Cowpokes aged 4 - 11 can ride the range for some craft, music, recreation and Bible classes. Older Rangers aged 12 - 18 have a Round-Up of their own, too.
Everyone is invited.
Shoot, we even had one waddie show up who wasn't even out of diapers:
-


Our first night at Saddle Ridge included a cattle drive. Victoria, an old Bronc Buster from way back, had the Day Heard Shift:

That first night also featured Cowgirl Lindsay doin' some rope, whip and pistol tricks. Cowgirl Lindsay even gave each cowpoke a lasso to take home.
-
-
And a'course we got the best grubb around, causing us a stampede when Coosie Steve rolls out the Chuck Wagon and rings the dinner bell.
-

-
We'll be rustlin' up some games each night for the tenderfoots.
-
Don't forget to encourage your older Ranch Hands to come out, too.
We got us a wild bunch this year.

And a'course we got our share of Grub Line Riders, too.

Pass the word to all the Buckaroos you see...

Valentine's Day Banquet 2010



We want to shout out a big THANK YOU to all the volunteers that helped us raise money for camp with our Annual Valentine's Banquet. We appreciate the parents, volunteers and all the church people who came out and supported us, thank you, thank you!
It was another great Valentine's Banquet. The youth did a great job working hard and having a servant's heart. Enjoy the following photos.

We always look forward to seeing Mr. JB's Valentine Socks.
It's a tradition.

Takin' the Short Bus to Town

So we jumped on the bus and hit the road to the bowling alley.

What I like about the bowling alley ....

.... is the strange way people bowl.

No two bowlers have the same technique.
Will threw side-armed, below, and bowled great.
I thought he was horsing around.
He wasn't.
And B, well, I'm sure nobody bowls like B:
And it's kind of fun, too, to see how people act after they score.

But sometimes it's all just a bit too much for anyone.
