Super Bowl Results

That was a fun game!  is what members of the youth group were saying before either football team took the field last week.  Before the big game, we played a bunch of our own.  Each time someone won a game, they had the chance to flip the commemorative super bowl coin which had an S on one side and a B on the other.  Whichever team's letter was facing up got the points earned by the youth during the game.  We continued this over the course of the entire party in order to predict what the score would be.  Believe it or not, at the end of the night, we had predicted that the Seahawks would win 46-12, not to far from the truth!

The other big winner was Miranda, who correctly predicted more stats about the game than any other youth.  Congratulations to her and thanks to everyone for helping out and having fun!

MLK Day

To celebrate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., we joined up with folks from around the Cape and took part in the Americorp MLK Day of Service.  We traveled to Cape Abilities in Dennis to help out with their mission.  While there, we helped install hydroponic tomato plants.  Gov. Patrick even stopped by and helped us with our work.  We all had a great time, and meeting the governor was way cool!

We want to thank Americorp and all the folks that helped us out make this day possible.

Fire Department Tour a Success

The youth group would like to extend a huge thank you to Mel Trot and the Falmouth Fire Rescue Department for showing us around the firehouse last Sunday.  Youth and parents alike enjoyed seeing all the engines, the ambulance, search and rescue vehicles and boats.

We had the chance to climb into a fire engine and got to pretend to be scuba divers in the scuba bus.  We saw the living spaces and office spaces of the department and heard all about the day to day operations

Officer Trot also told us stories from his career and some of the ways that he helps to educate folks about fire prevention.  He even gave us carabiners and pencils to take home to remind us of our tour.



At the end of our tour, almost on queue, a call came into the station and we got to see the firemen spring into action and go to the rescue.  We want to thank all the folks at FFRD for all they do to keep us safe!

Tour of Fire Department Rescheduled

Happy New Year everyone!  I hope you are all staying warm and enjoying the beauty of new fallen snow.  The new year brings some exciting new events with youth group and we will start next week with a tour of the Falmouth Fire Department.  Meet at the church at 4:00 pm next Sunday (January 12, 2014).  We will be back at the church by 5:30 pm.  Hope to see you there!

Bull's Eye!!

Our group of young archers invaded the Monument Beach Sportsman's Club indoor archery range for an evening of lessons and fun.  Gil Silvia, our resident Archer and member of the club guided us through safe and proper shooting techniques.

The evening was a great success and we managed to put more holes in the targets than the walls and the floor.  We even got to shoot at a moving target that features a picture of a dragon.

A big thank you to all who helped out!

Wii Bowling Lots of Fun

Our JWUMC Youth Group News Team was on hand to capture some of the action at Atria Woodbriar last weekend.  In the video, you can see one of our youth bowl a strike and hear the cheers from the crowd.

Besides Wii Bowling, there were plenty of drinks, popcorn, and cookies to go around, compliments of the chefs at Atria Woodbriar.  It was great to see so many people of so many different ages playing, laughing, and cheering together.  It was a great time, and we look forward to a rematch in the spring!
