Youth Day 2009 ~ by Mildred Green

St. Elizabeth's Youth Day 2009 was held at All Saints School on Saturday, May 16th. It was a great success. The day started with signing in and opening prayer with lighting of the candles. After introductions and the ice-breaker, we got down to the business of FUN - FUN - FUN!

The group of six seems small but they carried a ton of energy the whole day. We did lots of crafts. Like making hats, cards, gift heart pockets, and picture frames. The children celebrated their lives in the Spirit, by putting together a colorful Spirit puzzle of a dove.

Hand games, coloring books, puzzles were set up at different tables for us to move about leisurely. We played hula-hoop, jump-rope and basketball.

Lunch was cooked by Mr. Soistman and we dined on hamburgers, hot dogs, fries, chicken nuggets and drinks, milk and Italian Ices.

Thank you, Mr. Soistman for a delicious lunch. Also, thanks for letting us use the school and your time. Winding down, we read and played knock, knock jokes and riddles. We also learned a new song: "O, How I Love Jesus".

We closed the day by blowing out the candles and saying our closing prayer and good-byes.

Thank you all for coming and to the parents. All wanted to know when we're going to do this again. Hope to see you the next time.
