Youth Choir Swimming Party

Throughout the summer, the Youth Choir of the church has continued to meet on Sunday afternoons. Granted, we would miss a week on occasion for a church camp or mission trip; but for the most part, the group has met consistently at 4:30 on Sunday afternoons.

On Wednesday night, July 25th, the group was rewarded with a Swimming Party at the Ripley City Pool. This was also an opportunity for those promoting into the Youth Department this coming school year to participate in a youth sponsored event.

While the day had been hot, the pool was a bit cool when you first got into the water. And there seemed to be a cool breeze when you first got out. The water itself, however, was just right!

The question of the night was, "Have you ever seen anything this bright before?"

The answer, "No, we haven't. And hopefully we will never see it again!" Just ask Monkey.

Everyone enjoys the water slide. Can you guess who this is? Your answer

is one of the people listed below.

No, it wasn't Drew!

No, not Kevin, although he did come down the slide a lot that night.

Dylan? Are you kidding?

Surprise! It was Benjamin.

And what's a Youth Party without Pizza Hut Pizza? We had a little problem getting the pizza into the pool area. Seems the delivery guy had never been to the pool before. He had a hard time finding the gate that was unlocked. Strange since he only had two choices. But the pizza was good.

Paige seems to be enjoying it.

Next time, we will get more cheese pizza!

Come on, smile for the camera!

It was a good night and a good time of relaxation and fellowship.

Guess which one is wearing the speedos?

Is the pizza gone?

It was Emily's last activity with us before heading off to school.

We will really miss her and Kelley.

On the Sunday following the party, the choir sang for the Morning Worship Service at the church. We had two rows in the choir loft full, 26 young people, singing for the Lord's Supper Service. They did a tremendous job!

We will start a new year in Youth Choir, with new 6th graders on Sunday, August 5th. Until then........
