Youth Group Day Out Part 4!

Last one. The photo's speak for themselves.

Youth Group Day Out Part 3!

You thought it wasn't coming, but here it is. The next installment of our wonderful day out! After the spending the morning serving others, our guys deserved some fun so we went bowling. For some of us it was the first time, but everyone managed to get at least a few pins down. Then it was on to the last destination for the day, Jounieh. At some friends' home, we played some team games, ran around ALOT!!!, and had yummy pizza for tea. (Plus a birthday cake!! Happy Birthday Sarah!) Finally there was a very quiet bus trip home to Mansourieh. What a great day!

What's happening!

Below are the updated details of these events: · The start of the Alpha Course http://www.alpha.org has been postponed to Tuesday 30th of Jan because of the general strike. ALL WELCOME!

Youth Group Day Out Part 2!

Then we went down to Nabaa and spent a couple of hours at the Centre with the children. We played games, had lunch with them and then handed out the gift bags that we had prepared for each child and family.

Youth Group Day Out Part 1!

On Saturday 20th, our Youth Group had a day on the road, doing various activities, all of which were unknown to the group until they got there. We started at Scott's house, where they had to prepare cookies, lunch and food parcels for some children at the Nabaa Care Centre. They still managed to have fun while doing all this, especially when it meant they could tie up Seb for being a pest!!
