End-of-the-Year ET Events

 This year, Jonathan and I again helped lead the "ETs" (Early Teens youth group) at our church.  The month of May is very busy for the ETs, but it is also one of my favorite times with the group!

On Monday, we took the ETs on an exciting hike at "The Crevice" and, against all odds, no one was injured!  :)  Then we planned skits and songs for our annual Senior Citizen dinner, and enjoyed a cook-out together.

Yesterday was the big Senior Citizen dinner.  The ETs cook, serve, and provide entertainment for a nice dinner in honor of the seniors at our church. 

This year we prepared ham, au gratin potatoes, rolls, and spinach salad, along with a delicious assortment of desserts. 

The ETs performed several humorous skits and sang a few songs while our guests ate dinner. 

 

Then, during dessert, the students sat down with the senior citizens and they all got to know each other a little better.  This is my favorite part of the evening; it was cool to see both the ETs and the seniors open up and enjoy that time together!

 

Planning these events was my last major responsibility for this school year, so now I am very relaxed and excited for the summer to begin!  :)
