The Lads to Leaders had lots of fun at the Glow Stick devo and games, especially once we got the larger crowd thing figured out. 😂
I think the kids had a blast and everyone enjoyed the fellowship. Who knew so many people would stay around for hot dogs?
Thanks to Amanda and Billy for the last minute “mission: more hotdogs” and to Jonna for running to the dollar store for a fresh glow stick after Alison accidentally broke the “devo” glow stick. That’s what friends are for!

The Lads to Leaders Group had a great day at the Rusk Depot Campground for their 2nd Annual Lads to Leaders retreat! The weather was much better than it was last year. They didn’t even need a fire until they wanted to roast and toast their food. They enjoyed a nature scavenger hunt (where a bird feather may have been shaken out of a nest), ultimate frisbee, hot dogs, s’mores, a few scary stories, singing, song leading and speech practice and a little Bible Bowl prep.
They had planned on a glow in the dark capture the flag game, but had to cancel that due to a leak at one of the campsites that flooded their field at the end of the day. But they put those glow sticks to use the next night after evening worship. They even invited those who were at the evening worship service on Sunday night to join them for hot dogs and the capture the flag game!

The young ladies in the Lads To Leaders group hosted a "Ladies Brunch" on October 12th in the Activity building. There were over 20 in attendance for the brunch, and everyone had a great time.
We appreciate the children and all of those who work in the Lads to Leaders program. The parents who bring their children to participate in Lads to Leaders are giving their children something that will help them throughout their entire lives. These children are being taught what Christian love is all about. They are helping others and learning how to live as a Christian. There is nothing more important than bringing a child up with the knowledge and understanding of Christ.

On September 1, 2019, after the evening worship service, the Lads to Leaders of Crockett Road hosted a spaghetti supper for the church. They provided spaghetti with meat sauce, a salad, garlic bread, and a dessert for everyone who attended. The Lads to Leaders not only provided the meal, but they also waited on tables, and you have never seen better service anywhere! They were constantly coming to each table to see if anyone needed a refill on their food or drinks!
The meal was free to everyone who attended. The children were working for tips which will help with expenses for when they go to the convention. They provided excellent service, and they were greatly rewarded. They collected over $1,500 in tips!!!
We would like to thank everyone who came out to support them. We would also like to thank all the adults who worked with them to help this night be a success. It is so wonderful to belong to a church that has so much love for one another.

The middle school class held a lock-in on July 28, 2019 in the activity building. The night started off with the children purchasing clothes for needy children so they will have new clothing for the upcoming school year. The middle class had collected money during the summer by working at various jobs. They were able to purchase enough clothing to supply seven needy children with five complete outfits plus undergarments and shoes!!! What a wonderful thing for these kids to do!!! We really appreciate them (and their sponsors) for caring so much about others that they would spend their summer helping them. That's a wonderful Christian Spirit!
They finished the night off in the activity building playing games and having fun. One of those games was volleyball in the dark where they played with a glow-in-the-dark volleyball while wearing glow-in-the-dark glow sticks. Everyone had a great time!

The young ladies in the Lads to Leaders group held a Ladies Brunch on Saturday, January 6, 2019. Since the scripture prohibits women from leading men in a worship service, it was a "ladies only" event.
This allowed the young ladies an opportunity to either help in completing requirements for year round songs of praise, Bible reading & and other Lads to Leaders events. They also completed requirements for year-round Bible reading!
The theme was "Far Above Rubies" and the focus was on virtuous women of the Bible.
