Backward Progressive Dinner

Do what your parents never let you do…eat dessert first! Starting @ 6 pm on Sunday, Nov. 5, we will eat one course of a meal at each house and work your way backward to the main course. You may be asking, “Why are we traveling around to different houses just to eat part of a meal?”

Answer: To simply do something out-of-the-ordinary. Plus, each host has been asked to share a few stories about themselves when they were teenagers. So…take good notes. You will be quizzed on what you have learned from your hosts the following Sunday at YF.
 

Cross Training

Physical trainers instruct clients to vary their workouts so that one muscle group will not dominate another. The same concept applies to our spiritual bodies. We must build Strength in Life’s Good Times so we have Endurance for Life’s Tough Times. Join us for this “spiritual workout” on Sunday nights at 6 pm (with dinner) and prepare to “cool down” at 8 pm. Get ready to sweat for the Lord!   

Turkey Bowling

What do you get when you cross a can of Crisco ®, a frozen bird, an old slip-and-slide, and some bowling pins?

A start to a bad joke, and a great way to kick-off the Thanksgiving Holiday! Plan to arrive @ 6 pm in the C.O.T.C. parking lot as we enjoy this new (and weird) event on Tuesday, November 20th. Dinner is to follow once we have worn out the bird and it can no longer be tossed.
