Part of last week’s busyness included taking this crazy crew of kids……and pulling off a Valentine’s banquet for the entire church.
The kids did everything!
They set up the tables…
…using wedding pictures to decorate – as well as candles, streamers, M&M’s and conversation hearts.
They did the cooking.
And with my own Dagmar (in the black apron) in charge of the kitchen, everything ran smoothly.
Or – close enough.
And serving.
Which also went surprising well. (Oh yes – that is a tuxedo! Only the best for our guests!)
Then – following the delicious three course meal – the kids provided some world class entertainment!
Well – okay – it was actually a series of skits that the kids wrote full of inside jokes and some wigs that left the audience in stitches. (That’s my Pedro in the center!)
And when our guests – of all ages – left, the kids cleaned up.
I was so proud of how hard those kids worked and what a good job they did!
And I’m tired.
Very tired.
Working with teenagers is not for the faint of heart!
Not for the faint of heart but so very rewarding! What a great event!

What a great job they did. I can relate to what you are feeling, I used to be Youth Leader when my daughter was in her teens. They are a lot of work but what a blessing they can be!
until next time…nel

It was a wonderful time! I know being their leaders can’t be for the faint-of-heart, but you must admit our teens are also not fainthearted.
It warms my heart every time I see the boys sitting up in the front row with such attentive attitudes.
