“O Holy Night” The youth of Lane Memorial came together to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ just as the wisemen and shepherds did long ago. They portrayed events in Bethlehem leading to the climax of Christ's arrival. “Oh, boy! It’s sticker time!” Dale Treadway teaches Aries how to play the sticker game. Dale and other youth members gave up valua- ble summer vacation time to minister to Sav- annah children. “Ye are the light of the world.” This was the message portrayed by the youth of New Life Church of Faith. Much time and effort was put forth to produce the musical THE LIGHT BRI- GADE. 18 Church Activities

“It was great; it served as an experi- ence | will remember forever,” ex- claimed Chris English while com- menting on his youth group’s trip to Savannah, Georgia. Sponsored by First Baptist Church, the youth con- ducted a ten hour Bible School for children ages 2-12 who lived in gov- ernment funded housing projects in inner-city Savannah. Chris further commented, “The summer program consisted of music, Bible stories, arts, and snacks for the children.” Another youth group, the Power and Light from Lane Memorial Meth- odist Church, also conducted a two week backyard Bible School for area youth. Directed by their youth minis- ter Dean Kilman, the youth traveled to “Fishnet” for an outdoor Christian rock concert. At Christmas, the group Yourve Go JO lave Faith presented a series of scenes depict- ing life in Bethlehem at the time of Christ's birth. The Power and Light eagerly worked year round to make their youth group a huge success. Also active during the summer, the youth at New Life Church of Faith pro- duced THE LIGHT BRIGADE, which they performed at home and the sur- rounding areas. Donovan Eades com- mented, “It was challenging all right, but we all got along great and had fun doing the show.” One of the reasons it was a challenge was the time involved. “Practicing on weeknights and week- ends conflicted with our homework and school activities, but it was de- finitely worth it,” stated Eades. — Jason Porter Vanessa Boley “To him that worketh is the reward.” Using her extra time wisely, Cecile Organ utilizes her writ- ing talent as she creates an Easter play for Grace Baptist Church. Cecile is an active member of her youth group. Church Activities 19
