September 28th, 2008 was an incredibly full day for the Family and Youth Ministries of Central. At both worship services the Youth were presented with a plaque by The Presbyterian Foundation. This was to represent the $25,000 permanent endowment they won for thier video entitled "29,000 a Day." In-between services a reception was held in the Youth's honor. The local TV station, WLFI TV18, covered the story of the Youth's award-winning video (it aired on the 6 and 11 o'clock news). We also said good-bye to Colin Fogarty, a long-time member of Central who had been exteremly faithful in his volunteer work as a drummer in the Celebration band and as a Youth leader. And that evening we started our Small Groups with the Youth Group, playing a county-wide game called "Bigger or Better." Each team started out with a pink cotton ball and went around to church members' houses, asking for "bigger or better" items at each home. Among other things, the Youth brought back a bicycle, a treadmill, a tent, a wireless keyboard and mouse, and an angel lawn ornament. What a day!
