Youth


Ice Skating Trip

Odena Baptist Youth consists of a tight-knit family of friends from grades 7-12. The youth enjoy hanging out together at church as well as other places. Recently, the youth went ice skating in Pelham, Alabama. Some had never stepped on ice before, while others were ice skating pros. Those who weren't so sure about skating sat outside the rink and watched as youth slid by. It was very fun watching as girls held onto the rail pulling themselves around and others go as fast as they could, eventually falling and skidding across the rink. A lot of the youth brought guests, and they really enjoyed coming and being a part of the fun. We hope they continue to invite guests to come, and hopefully join the youth family later on.
The OBC Youth participated in another event recently. On February 11th they went to Alabaster to see the new movie, "To Save a Life." Many of the youth had positive reviews of the movie and also commented on how powerful the movie was to them. Chelsey Woods said, "To Save A Life" has really impacted me. If you notice a change in me here soon, it's God you're seeing.” Chris Smith commented, “Best movie I have seen in a while, maybe my life. It hits home.”

BACK TO SCHOOL BASH

 
On August 15th, the children and youth participated in a back to school  bash. There were over 85 children, adults, and youth that attended.   It was a beautiful day filled with music, food, fun and great fellowship.  Thanks to our volunteers, we were able to feast on grilled hamburgers, hotdogs, chips, and cookies.The youth were even lucky enough to have a visit from  the ice-cream truck!  The gigantic water slide was  a great success and was enjoyed by all (including the adults).  The little ones frolicked in the sprinklers and even had a slide of their own.  The youth competed in a fun, but messy game that required shaving cream and Cheetos. Congratulations to Alex and Lauren for having the most Cheetos on their head! Thanks to all who helped make our Back to School Bash a great success!
