PHBC Young Adults

The Young Adults of PHBC spent a part of their Saturday morning helping out at Thrift Nation, an organization that supports missions across the world through donations and financial support. Twelve young adults helped clean shelving, sorted and organized everything from books to birdhouses, and did their part to help global missions. The YAM group looks forward to working with Thrift Nation again in the future!

YAM Book & DVD Drop at Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital

On April 30th the Young Adult Ministry was able to deliver a host of books and DVDs to the Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital near the heart of downtown. In all, over 1200 items were collected! 

That's enough to fill up the back of an F150.

 The books quickly took over the reception area.

Thanks again to our team of volunteers!



Focus Sports Camp 2010 - Thank You Volunteers!

Focus Sports Camp is the result of volunteers and staff working together over an entire year!  During sports camp, over 165 people invest a week of their summer to serve kids.  They do it out of a heart to serve that God has placed in their lives.  They invest this time in kids because they believe that each child matters to God and these wonderful volunteers want to be a small part of being a positive influence in these kid's lives. 

We thank you volunteers so much for what you mean to these kids lives.  You have all done well as you've served Jesus Christ, each other and of course these hundreds of incredible kids!  One more day to go.

"God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another." 1 Peter 4:10

YAM Holiday Happenings

The Young Adult Ministry has had a busy Christmas season this year. We welcomed home many of you students that are studying at colleges and universities outside of the greater Cleveland area. On Sunday Mornings we completed our study of Advent: What Really Happened Christmas Morning, the women's bible study continued to meet through the holiday and we held two activities for the students to be involved with and enjoy each others friendship.

We had a Christmas party that included a white elephant gift exchange, with some pretty creative re-gifting, a canned food collection for the PHBC pantry ministry, games and of course plenty of food.

About 16 members of the Young Adult Ministry went ice skating the Sunday after Christmas at Iceland in Strongsville. Some were on skates for the first time in years others were honing their skills for the upcoming Olympic Games.

YAM-Monster's Hockey Night at the Q

The Young Adult Ministry recently attended a Monster's Hockey night at the Q. For many it was their first time to a hockey game and for some their first time at the Q. Even though the team didn't win we all still had a fun time getting into the action of the game! Afterward, we hung around for a short concert by a local Christian band and the kick-off to a local youth all-nighter. Whether attending the ABF, eating lunch or supporting one of our local sports teams the Young Adult Ministry is focused on Helping Young Adults Find and Follow Jesus Christ!

YAM-Mystery Night Party

On crisp autumn evening, members of the Young Adult Ministry gathered together for a night of mystery. Each member of the group was assigned a character and role to play. As the evening progressed several courses of dinner were served along with more information about the characters being played. By night's end the mystery was solved and everyone who participated got to know one another a little better. The activities of the evening were then used in discussion the next day in ABF as we learned about overcoming superficial relationships.

Young Adults - Mohican Adventure

On Saturday, july 18th, 16 young adults spent the day at Mohican State Park. The day included a 7-mile canoe trip on the Mohican River, a visit to the park's fire tower and a picnic dinner at one of the scenic overlooks within the park.

The day began at PHBC around 8:30am where it was raining, cold and not too promising for a fun day in nature. As we headed south though, the clouds broke, the temperatures went up and the day turned out to be an ideal day to spend in God's creation!

Here's our picnic lunch. We really like to eat! We really love food!!!
