Best Gift Toy Shopping
For the seventh year, the youth group collected and raised money for the Best Gift fund. This fund was started by the youth because they realized that needy children often get second hand toys at Christmas. They wanted to get these kids some new toys, so they decided to raise money and go shopping for toys and donate them to Sun Youth. We had a lot of fun shopping for the toys, and they were brought to Sun Youth. Thanks to all who supported us. This year 100% of the money raised at our Advent Concert in November went to this fund, as well as money donated later. The total was over $680.

Tri
Good day faithful
readers of the Annual Report! Come, reminisce with us over the past
year’s events. In
the cold and dark days of February, we sought to liven things up with a
Rock ‘n Roll Night. We had a good time. Very
early on Easter Sunday morning, we rose with the sun and started the
grills. The Easter Breakfast was a big success and the youth group thanks
the congregation for its support. Every
now and then, the members of the youth group need to let off some steam.
In response, the leaders, Sheri Cameron and Gary Tompkins, devised an
intricate set of challenges that led us throughout the city. Many lessons
were learned that day, including; directions, teamwork, the importance of
appropriate footwear, and patience. But, most importantly of all, we
discovered that having fun holds more value than winning or losing. We
shall always remember this experience to be the day that was named…: The
Amazing (G)race. Having
run out of time on the day of the event, the celebratory dinner was held a
month later. It was then decided by our leaders (by a questionably
elaborate process…) that there was a three-way tie. Garbed
in wedding wear, a portion of the youth group set off on their annual
vegetable hunt for the Thanksgiving display. After church Thanksgiving
Sunday, the food was donated to Auberge Madeleine. In
order to raise money for the Best Gift Fund this year, we held a spaghetti
dinner with entertainment. There were a few interesting bloopers in the
program for the evening (and more than a little sauce splattered), but
overall, the event was a success. All of the money raised through this and
additional donations was used to buy new toys for underprivileged children
at Christmas from JRC. And,
as in most years around Christmas time, the youth group and Sunday
School joined together to perform a seasonal play. The pageant,
directed by Sheri Cameron went without a hitch, as all were well rehearsed
and ready with their lines. Hey everyone, thanks for your hard work! We
the youth group would also like to thank the congregation for their
ongoing support. Submitted in joint collaboration by: The Youth Group
