2012 Was a Year I Used To Know...



              Wow! What a year 2012 was! Do you guys remember when Linsanity swept the NBA and the world was transfixed with Jeremy Lin? Or when Michael Phelps became the Greatest Olympian Ever during the summer London Olympics? Can you still taste the Hunger Games or did The Avengers smash it from your taste buds?

Those events seem SO long ago...
Amazingly, it’s been only nearly a year since the Youth Group kicked off during a Super Bowl party at Anh Ai and Chi Nga’s house in February. There we huddled together, elected our captains/officers, and came up with a game plan for the year. Our team goal was to have monthly Youth Group meetings about teenage issues such as Christian Dating and Peer Pressure. Overall, we had an 80% completion rate.
I want to thank all the parents who helped with the Youth Group this year! Without your unending support: the countless hours driving, opening up your homes to host, and providing yummy abundant meals, our year wouldn’t have been a success. You are our biggest fans!
