Hello everyone and thank you for taking your time out of your busy schedule to read about what exciting activities  the Youth Committee have planned for our awesome youth of SSBC. (And our future SSBC youth).

This year has started with a leaders retreat. The members of the Youth Committee (which consists of leaders, helpers, and anyone who is actively participating in making the SSBC youth possible) a few of elders, and our pastor, got away for a few days to RRR (Relax, Recuperate, and Recharge). Everyone arrived to David Walley’s Hot Springs and Spa on Friday Feb 12, which gave some time to hang out, relax, and get away from the busy schedule. On Saturday, the Recharging began. The members all got together to make some really great plans for this following 2011 year for youth. We all met up at around 9 or 10 am for about half a day, and once again in the evening and discussed many things like the bike ride, youth camps, crusades, youth services, leaders, the youth census, monthly American services for youth and etc. Also, that day, we all have talked and we have chosen two more people to help out Denis. As we all know, Denis had a beautiful addition to his family, baby Mathew. Also, his kids have started to go to school, so he needs to take care of his family first. The people that we all have agreed on are Vladimir Lobkov, and Oleg Kabanov. They will have the same responsibility as Denis and will be able to make decisions and will replace Denis when he is unavailable. We ask that you welcome them with open arms and let them know if you have any questions or concerns. On Sunday, we all gathered again where girls made a special Valentine’s Day breakfast to let the guys know how much we appreciate and love them. Then we all packed our bags and went home fully recharged and ready to serve the youth and God this following year.
