PRIMETIME PREVIEW

Happy Valentines Day! Won't you come in out of the cold and let us share God's love with you here at Court Street United Methodist Church?

Tonight's activities start at 5:30. During this time, the Youth (middle and high school ages) meet in "Balcony West" our very cool IKEA styled room to talk, study, and catch up on our weekly activities with me, Becca (the Director of Christian Education).

Also at 5:30 our Kid's Choir (elementary aged children) meet and sing together with our Music Director, Rob.

During this time Kathy Welk will also continue leading her scrapbooking class. This is the last week for Scrapbooking!

At 6:15 everyone gathers in the Dining room for a delicious dinner. The cost for dinner is only $2.50 ($10 maximum for families). This is a great time for fellowship and friendship, and the food is good too!

At 6:45, we split up again. This time the Elementary Aged children go with me (Becca) to Bible Idol! in our Prime Time room. The Youth go with Rob to practice their singing, and scrapbooking class continues.

Tonight, Bible Idol will feature our fourth round of competition. Last week the favorite, Moses, took home the victory. The characters competing this week are Joshua, Rahab, and Achan. Will the favorite come out on top tonight??

The evening ends with Rejoice! rehearsal which takes place in the sanctuary.

Please join us here at CSUMC for our midweek ministry: PRIMETIME!!

ABRAHAM WINS!!

Last night in Bible Idol, Abraham made it through the first round to become our first contestant in the finals. He's one step closer to becoming the Bible's Biggest Star! Abraham found tough competition against Noah and Sarah, but this man's story of obedience to God even in the most difficult of circumstances coupled with his rousing song "Father Abraham" made him the victor! Congratulations to Abraham as he moves on in Bible Idol, and thanks to our most excellent judges Abbi, Marie, Daniel and Lydia who had a very tough decision to make last night!

Also in Prime Time last night, Scrapbookers continued their work and the Men's group had a strong showing. The youth were excited to see our friend Bruce Martin at Prime Time! Of course there were choir reherasals and a delcious dinner.

Sorry we missed you, please join us next week!

Bible Idol ROCKS!

Bible Idol was a huge success last night. We had six judges present for our first night of introductions and learning about being a judge while not being "judgmental." The children and I had a great time learning and singing together, although "Simon" might not have given us the greatest of reviews. We hope more judges will join us as we progress in our search to find the "Bible's Biggest Star."

The CSUMC Youth were out in force last night as well. We had a great meeting and Diane presented all of us with gifts from her trip to Florida. She gave everyone WWJD license plate key chains, bookmarks, shells, and sand dollars she had actually found on the beach! It was a special moment and we were very glad to have Diane and Holly back safely from their travels! The youth talked about their dreams and ideas for youth activities in the future and then later in the evening volunteered their time to the "Curriculum Resource Room " project. We made some great headway in organizing and cleaning this important room!

The Men's Fellowship group also met in the Parlor with Pastor Keith and continued their studies together. This is an excellent fellowship with fellow men and they would welcome new members!

Dinner was fabulous as always.

We enjoyed hamballs, mashed potatoes, steamed veggies, sloppy joes and sundaes!!! We of course also enjoyed fellowship with one another as we sat around the tables in our dining room.

The scrapbookers met with Diane last night, as Kathy was at a work related class. They had a good time working on their projects and talking with each other.

It was a wonderful Wednesday night at Court Street! Don't miss the next PRIMETIME!!!

Who we're praying for today: Brady Smith, son of our Church Administrator Betsy, as he faces a confusing time regarding his recent enlistment in the Navy and what appears to be an inevitable assignment in Iraq.
