Mama Mia's 2008 - "TV Like You Have Never Experienced Before"

Saturday night's Mama Mia's was wonderful! The hard work of so many people really paid off as over 200 people enjoyed a wonderful spaghetti supper and show. A big thanks goes out to John Freeman, Ariel Goldchain, Wren & Jeanette Meyers, Patti Rothwell, Mark & Ginger Schiffner, Tom Kern, Pam Bryson, Holly Schmitz, and Donna Hill for all their leadership! And an even bigger thanks goes out to all the other volunteers who helped prepare and serve the meal, decorate, plan the show, participate in the show, and clean up afterwards! Without you, Mama Mia's is not possible! The big beneficiary of Mama Mia's (after all the fun had by all) is youth missions! THANK YOU CHURCH FOR SUPPORTING US!

This year's theme was "TV Like You Have Never Experienced Before" and the show centered around Ariel's new PlasmaTron 3D-HD-RV-1000 television. Enjoy these videos of the show!

IMPACT VA! Bluefield

It's that time again! We are registered for another great week of Impact Virginia!

Impact Virginia! is a coed youth missions opportunity involving teenagers in "hands on" ministry projects in Virginia. Baptist youth from across the state join forces to make an impact on local communities through a variety of ministry projects focusing primarily on home renovation and construction needs of low-income, elderly, or special needs families. Each Impact Virginia session involves from 150 to 300 youth assigned to work teams of 8 - 15 persons. Participants work all day on their sites under the supervision of qualified construction coordinators and other adult leaders. Impact Virginia works with local housing and social service agencies and Baptist Associations to designate priority housing needs. Work includes painting, roofing, cleaning, interior/exterior renovation, and general carpentry. Morning and evening worship celebrations will help begin and end the day of work with the right spirit and attitude. This year we will be going to Bluefield, Virginia. The cost for this missions opportunity is $160. All forms and payments must be turned in by Sunday, April 6. TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OUR EARLY REGISTRATION SPECIAL: SAVE $25 AND PAY ONLY $135 IF YOU TURN IN YOUR FORMS AND MONEY BY FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 29! See Tom Kern or Stephen for forms. Forms may also be found on our Google Groups page. NEW! You can also find the forms here (.pdf) and here (.doc).

I'll leave you with this message from Tom. After you read it, I think you'll be as fired up about Impact as I am!

"Just want you to know that I am really looking forward to this IMPACT Virginia! opportunity...

...It gives us a chance to put our faith in action...in plain sight...for the world to see

...It gives us a chance to strengthen our own belief...surrounded by other believers

...It gives us a chance to serve others...as we know we should

...(And, it's great fun)

...But in the middle of your preparation for this week on a construction site...

...Take a moment to think about the Carpenter

...Who travels with us, and

...Who works right alongside each of us

...Our reason for believing."
