Update on the Youth Group

The following pictures show the last youth activity we had with our youth before we left for a short trip to the states. We wanted to do something out of the ordinary, that would be cheap yet still extremely fun. Well, we just had an MRT system open up in Kaohsiung and for the first month it was free travel. We decided to take advantage of that so we took our youth to a trip a few stops up to a sugar factory.We looked with the other thousands of people at the sugar factory and all the different stands they had. Then, we traveled back up the tracks to McDonald's. We ate dinner and bought an ice cream cone for each of the youth, and then ended up back at the church. We had a great time mingling! :o)

Please be in prayer for the Delaney's as they take over the youth and the ministry in Taiwan while we are here in the states.

Fun Foods

Cow tongue . . . a Taiwanese specialty. We were very nervous about this one. It was given as a gift, so, naturally, you’re expected to eat it. Come to find out it’s a type of flaky pastry with a slightly doughy center and is very good. We’ve had them plain and with a flavored cream cheese spread. Yum, yum!!!




We also received 2 cases of sushi from a family in the church. They made a couple of yummy meals. :o)

Happy Birthday to Tad!

Tad is 25 today (I know - unbelievable!!). I thought those of you back in the states might miss seeing him, so this one's for you ... :o)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TAD!!

Youth Hike

A few weeks ago, we had about 8 of our teens willing to go with us to join in another church's all day youth day. The main event on the schedule the day we went was hiking! I thought it was great - after being in the city so long it was SO nice to get out and enjoy the trails through the woods. Here are some the sights ...

Gathering at the beginning of the trails getting our "game plan" and getting into groups.


The trails ...


There were so many bamboo clusters scattered throughout the woods (something I'm not accustomed to seeing).


One the "sights" along the way ...


Hiking the trails ...


2 of our boys, Leo and Carl, had an abundance of energy and decided to do some extra climbing. :o)


Our girls - Susannah, Julia, Ester, and Stacy


Some the guys having a great time. :o)

I hope to be able to share our youth day here at Cornerstone very soon. I'm waiting on the pictures.
