Friday night we had a Teen Night here in Corriverton, including games, pizza, Facing the Giants, a quiz and discussion of the movie, and taking everyone home. We had a good time.
Them all going at it.

Some of the boys after the movie, Kevon and Rovendra are in the back.
Kevon personally thanked me today for the time we've spent with him, and for last Friday night. He is definitely thinking about the things we have presented, and he has shown mature interest, though he's only 15.
Ellen and I printed up a quiz for all of the kids to take, and this group got creative in how they were going to write the answers. Buddy, Cynthia, and Priscilla.

We made pizza and Cinnamon sticks.

We did a canoe, mountain, backpacking relay race with them at the beginning of the evening, and this group is building their mountain.
Introductions at the beginning of the evening. I told them each to say how they knew me, because that seemed like the best way of letting everyone know who they were.
The preparations beforehand took a lot of work! We made 17 pizzas, and we had Dian helping a great deal with that. Also, Ravinee and Trevor and Cynthia came over right after school, around 2:00, and helped the rest of the afternoon- I don't know what we would have done without all of the helpers!
This one is from the pizza eating contest between Ellen, Buddy and Troy. Buddy won.

Me in the midst of organizing everyone to get a ride home- that's rough to do with 40 kids! The movie seemed to be an overall sucess, many kids responded, though a few flat out didn't like it. But when the gospel is clearly presented, and there is changed being posed, some won't like it!

Hey, that kid is wearing a Rhinelander t-shirt!
LOL. I noticed the T right away too.

I'm going to have to get that recipe for cinnamon sticks when you girls get back home! They look great. By the way, you might be happy to hear that Duke was knocked out of the NCAA tournament last night. Carolina plays tonight....we hope they lose:)

Ha, yeah, the poor kid came straight from school and was in his uniform...so, he borrowed my clothes.
Catherine-just make biscuits, use some barley flour for added health, a little sugar in it if you want them for dessert. Roll them thin in a large rectangle, cut in strips. Using a pastry brush, brush them with melted butter, sprinkle on a mixture of cinnamon sugar and bake them. It's pretty simple and it was another one of my and Katie's experimentations that was pretty well received :-)
Wow, thanks Ellen! I'll have to try that.
