YOUTH MINISTRY HAPPININGS

The month of February will be an exciting month as Jeremy Myers plans to move his family to St Albans and prepares to take on this group of students. Now, Jeremy, I know you are reading this and let me be one of the first to tell you what a wonderful group of students you will be serving. Yes, they do have some drama occasionally, but they also seem to work through it. They love each other and oh how they enjoy being together and worshiping the Lord. They love people, have compassionate hearts, and are willing to put a little sweat into serving those that have a need. They love all generations, from babies to our older shut ins. They have a desire to learn more about Christ and the passion that He has for His people. They are very excited about you and Robyn and of course JJ and Makayla coming to our church home. May God Bless you as you all make your transition to St Albans. We as adults are very ready and willing to work side by side with you. Please be in prayer as we step into February. Fifteen of our students will be attending the Blaze Conference February 5 and 6 in Columbus with thousands of other students. They will be learning how to naturally share their faith and bringing those ideas back to St Albans FBC to share with others what they have learned and how this conference touched them. We will continue small groups on Sunday nights having our "big group" February 7th w^here we will all gather for an activity. March 5-7 will be our Junior High Convention, which will take place at Highlawn Baptist here in St Albans. You will be getting details soon. We have been asked to help with housing so please open your homes to these students. You will make a memory you will never forget. © Attention all Ichthus Fans! Ichthus will be June 16-20th and the cost will be only $70.00. This will cover a four day pass to all the concerts and speakers and the delicious meals prepared by Kevin and Tracy. But Hurry! Get your $70.00 in by March 10 because the prices go way up after that. Makayla Hanshew has kept her bracelet on for the longest time so she has won a free trip! Thank you for the opportunity to serve as director of youth for St Albans First Baptist. It has been a wonderful experience for me but there are many adult advisors that have been responsible for continuing the youth program here at FBC.
> Jim Payne has been very instrumental in working with the middle school students and planning in areas such as the winter retreat and taking care of a huge part of Ichthus. He is one who can be called on at anytime asking, "Hey, Jim, what do you think about this"?
> Kevin Nicholas is another that has stepped up to the plate. With his experience with boy scouts, he has been a lot of help in the area of camping and food preparation at Ichthus and our retreats. He is another one to call for counsel.
> Angie Maze is another advisor that is willing to step in wherever needed. Taking care of our breakfast, middle school small group girls, and wherever she can serve in student ministry.
> Leah Bowes is back in Greenbrier County, but while she was here she was able to help by using her computer skills and filling a need wherever she saw one. She was oftentimes available when I could not take care of the small group high school girls.
> Lori DeHart is now helping out in that role and connecting with students on
Wednesday and Sunday nights.
> Donna Hanshew helps with the Middle School Sunday School hour and planning for Ichthus
> Dan Riffle has been very helpful with teaching our High School Sunday School class on Sunday mornings, working with our high school guys small group and occasionally driving our bus to activities.
> Travis Coles is a new face working with our youth advisor team. He is like a pinch hitter, involving himself wherever needed.
> Kenzie Young is our newest addition helping Jim with the small group guys ministry and keeping us all up to date with music groups coming our way.
> All of our adult advisors take turns speaking on the Wednesday Night Live schedule. Please join me in thanking all of our advisors. They have one theme in mind: To try and love God with all of their heart, soul, and mind. A big thanks to all of these adults that have helped to make an easier transition for Jeremy when he begins here at FBC. The great thing is that each of these adults feel a love and commitment to middle school and high school students and will continue to be there as Jeremy steps into place.
Now, as I close this season of my personal life, thank you again for your encouragement and blessings over the past 18 months. It has most certainly been a joy!

God's Blessings,
Debbie--Debbie Harpold
