They once again had a great service!! Lydia and Emily are part of the Middlers Youth Group at Church. This is the same youth group that Ryan was part of and that Lydia and Emily have been part of. The name just changed because we now have 5th, 6th and 7th graders instead of just 5th and 6th. Annually, they do a service at our local Presbyterian assisted living facility. Many of their residents, who are able, attend our church. There are several residents who are not able to attend our church and they attend the service that is held at the home. Our youth group does a service there each year the Sunday after Easter. Last year I was so impressed by the way Lydia was able to do the Children's Sermon in front of all of those people. She did a great job! This year, no less at all!! We did remove the Children's Sermon from our service. Lydia wanted to do the sermon, but we often save that for the oldest kids. Her time will come soon!! She headed a skit/prayer that we did. It was great!! While I can't remember what was said, here are some pictures.

| We always greet the residents at the end of the service. They are always so complimentary. |
In addition to this great activity, our Middlers class painted this past winter as well. Since I have become addicted to this painting class stuff, I suggested this one. We have a family of artists at our church who were so great in volunteering to head up the class. They let me bring Ryan too even though he was part of the confirmation class youth. The kids really enjoyed this one!!
