Hoops for Hope!

This past Saturday, May 28, we had our Hoops for Hope fundraiser. 24 players from all over the LA Church of Christ gathered this past Saturday to play in a 12 hour basketball tournament. So far approximately $38,000 have been raised to support the Sihanouk Hospital in Cambodia, exceeding the $24,000 goal. There is still more money to come in and hopefully we will reach $50,000! The youth ministry was represented by our very own Marcel Hall! Special thanks to all of the players who participated in the event and all the teens that helped on Saturday. The event was a huge success!

Youth & Parent Devo (Friday, May 20, 2011)

This past Friday we had our monthly Youth & Parent Devo at the Boys and Girls Club. We all started off the night together with an icebreaker to get to know new people. After the parents and the teen split into different rooms, we played a game in which we had to "make" a human taco. Later in the night Luis lead the first lesson in a series on relationships.

New Website!

Devo with Turning Point! (May 13th)

Last night we had a great devo with the Turning Point teen ministry! We had an amazing night of worship, fellowship and fun. We were able to enjoy the Turning Point's teen band (the F.O.G.) and play a great game of Ships and Sailors. Marcel also preached a great and challenging message titled "Make Your Next Move Your Best Move." It was great being able to meet new people as well as see others that we do not get to see as often. We all had a wonderful time and hope to do it again soon!

Friday Devo: April 29

This past Friday we had our weekly devo at the Pasadena Boys and Girls Club. The teens were joined by the 8th graders who will soon transition into the Teen Ministry in the upcoming months. Our devo was a little different then normal. Rather then having someone like Marcel preach a lesson to us, we taught each other! We had a preach off where we were able to participate by preaching briefly on several topics. It was a great way to get many people involved in the lesson (or lessons).
