Turkey Day Joke

Asked to write a composition entitled "What I am thankful for on Thanksgiving", little Johnny wrote: "I am thankful that I'm not a turkey."

Testimony: Taylor L

"When I was little it seemed like the devil was attacking me and my family really bad. When I was four, my parents fought every single day. Then when I was six my brother almost died, when I was seven my parents got divorced because my dad was unfaithful. When I was eight my dad got remarried. Then when I was twelve my dad and step mom almost got divorced because he was unfaithful again. I tried to stay strong but all that happened just pulled me down. I became rebellious and started cursing at school but I played the Christian game at church. I started to become depressed and contemplated suicide but there was something in me that told me to hold on; I know that it was God. At the 2008 youth camp[Life], God really touched my life and I got really saved. A couple weeks ago the devil tried get me again with stuff that was happening with my dad but i trusted God to hold me and keep me and I kept strong. I'm going all the way for God no matter what happens."
~Taylor L.

Pastor Linhardt took some time to play with Exodus

Yesterday most of our teens went on outreach to the Linhardt's church in Pueblo. This outreach was awesome! We outreached all around Pueblo, hitting many neighborhoods. At one point, Elena knocked on someone's door and a woman answered. When Elena invited her to the concert and Sunday services, the woman began crying and told Elena that she was a heroin addict, but her son was on fire for God and in college. Elena and a few teens in that area all prayed for her, and later she came to the concert with her husband and they both got saved! Praise God! At the concert later that night, Exodus performed and Tim, Blake, G.O., and Amanda did the "Out on a Ledge" skit. We had hot dogs, too. This outreach was awesome for Pueblo! A lot of people seemed open to coming to the church, and I look forward to seeing fruit in Pueblo.

Interview #1 FAVORITE YOUTH MEMORY

Chantel - when we helped j.b and gail move, when tim got maced, aaron jumped off s uhaul truck and crank that buzzlightyear.

Taylor L - getting thrown into the pool by chad and joel at PBC!

Brianna - the giant water fight at pastor sanchez's house.

FAVORITE MOMENTS SINCE TYLER AND SHAUNA TOOK OVER!

Gabby - my fav. so far would be natalies b - day party when we acted things out. It's nice to see them out of thier "shell" and bieng a little crazy.

Blake - when we did the buzz lightyear dance at gabby's party the look on Tyler's face was funny.

Youth drama team practicing!!!

Sat. the fourteeeenth!

We had a great service Saturday night!

Our Drama Without a Name did their thing - sam, stephen, and blake stood as manikins wishing they could have life. A local shopper caught them talking and shared how they could have life, and life everlasting! Unfortunately, Betty Manikin was swayed by her fellow manikins who reminded her "We're Your Family Now".

Tyler preached a FANTASTIC sermon! He spoke about the power of what we believe! And how the gospel is so powerful and it can save ANYONE no matter how far they've gone into sin! We have to realize that what we believe is very precious and we have to treat it as precious! He ended with driving in that the proof of the gospel and salvation is our very own lives, We Are The Proof!

Don't forget to take flyers with you to school and the tickets for our Christmas plays! The gospel is powerful and it's up to us to spread it!




After youth everyone shuffled into the Whiting's humble abode and partied down! There was a mixture of spoons, mancala, spades, cake, chatting, and all around fun! We definitely know how to have a good time! Thanks to Mrs.Rebecca for opening up her home and a very happy birthday to Richard!

For all those who are bummed they missed out, GREAT NEWS: WE'RE GOING TO PUEBLO ON SATURDAY FOR A CRAZY FUN TIME AGAIN! BE THERE OR BE SQUARE!

The "Everything Skit"

The Cast

Back in the drama room there is a nice tall filing cabinet. In that filing cabinet there is script after script of skits from way back before youth was ever started, then more from the early 90's, and then a few recent skits. For those that have been in the church for a number of years we get to know the skits and when you bring up one like "The Train Skit" you hear a slight groan from many who have seen it so much they could act out the whole thing by themselves. But there is one skit that while it can be exhausting for the cast who've acquired numerous purple and blue spots on their arms and legs during this intense play - it's message is still powerful after watching it 10 times in a row!

Most of us youth did get pretty tired of the Everything Skit during PBC. During practice last night I was talking with Gabby and we both said how we missed it (even though its been what 4 months - and for those who went to Denver not even that long). I don't know about anyone else but last night i was SO excited to see it again! The Farmington Fanatics did it proud!

I finally got to video tape it and upload it to YouTube!
It's not perfect - but at least its something :0)

For Your Viewing Pleasure:

Welcome Tyler & Shaunna!

God has truly blessed us with great leaders for the past two years, and once again He has truly given our youth the cream of crop to lead us from here on out! All of us teens as a whole are super excited about having Tyler, Shaunna, and their four children to jump into Remnant Youth as our leaders! God is gonna take us far! We can't wait to see what He does in us next!
