All youth, sixth grade through high school, are invited to  participate in our youth group activities. We meet on Sunday
evenings at 6:00, and Wednesday evenings at 6:30, to laugh and have fun, fellowship with peers, and most importantly
time to pray and learn life-changing and life-lessons from the Word of God. In addition to our time here at church, we are
involved in several outreach programs. If you would like more information, see Pastor Tracy or Alisa Mills.

New year means new projects!!! Gold Award is finished and I
would like to begin small missions for local organizations. The
groups are listed below that I would like to highlight each month
along with their current need. This is a great opportunity to
inform the services they provide as well as help them with their
Needs List. This is a chance for churches, boy and girl scouts
troops, students, friends, and family to ban together and help
right here in our community. Think of the difference that we can
make by working as a team! Bonus: Students can earn volunteer
hours that are needed for graduation.

If you would like to help: please start by “Like” the post and
Share on your page. Gently-loved items are great: recycles and
gets them to a new home. Clean out your closets – we can store
items until the designated month arrives! Source4 in Milton has
agreed to be a drop off location for donated items. I will send out
a reminder and a little information about the organization at the
beginning of each month.

January: Collecting homemade cookies and treats for the
Barboursville Veterans home. Cookies were inspired since the
Girl Scout cookie sale starts tomorrow. Great way to Thank our
Vets! Please consider going to deliver and visit with our Vets!
Delivery date: Feb. 3 at 6:30. Please place cookies in disposable
containers like Gladware. There are 101 veterans (men and
women) currently residing at the home. Sugar free options are
needed. Most do not have families or need a transition home.
Several have just returned from serving over-seas!! Age ranges
early 20’s to their oldest of 95. Only veterans home is WV. They
do not have to be from WV to live there. Some may stay a few
months and others for their lifetime. They would love to have
visitors and want to give back to the community. If you have a
project they may be able to help. They just built dollhouses for 3
girls as Christmas gifts.

February: Collecting cell phones and accessories for Branches.
Safe Date Program spotlight.

March: Collecting Teddy bears for Milton and Barboursville
Police and Fire Dept. to give to kids. They keep in their trunks

During the month of February, I am collecting cell phones and
accessories for Branches Domestic Abuse Shelter. Branches
is a non-profit agency in Huntington, WV providing shelter to
women, children, and men who are victims of domestic
violence.

Cell phones are given to ...the victims to use in case of
emergency and can only dial 911. Just think: The cell you are
no longer using could save a life!!

You can help by collecting cell phones and/or any accessories
from family and friends that are no longer in use. I can pick-up
your donations or they can be dropped off at Source4 in Perry
Morris Sq, Milton. You can also help by Inviting friends to the
event to help get the word out.

Almost one of ten high school girls experience dating violence.
This percentage rises to one out of five for female college
students. Verbal abuse is a common method of control, and
this type of intimidation may eventually be accompanied by
physical force. Many young woman accept extreme jealously,
possessiveness, and verbal or physical abuse as signs of
affection. Nearly 80% of girls who have been victims of
physical abuse in their dating relationships continue to date
the abuser. Girls who accept dating violence often end up in a
violent adult relationship.

Help spread the word within the community of the important
work being done at Branches and urge those you know who
are victims of domestic violence to seek help from Branches.
