Bible Baptist Church: Teen Retreat 2009

On June 19-20, the teens went on their annual retreat--this time to Louisville, KY. They arrived in Louisville around 3:30 p.m. at the home of Steve and Debbie Maynard, brother and sister-in-law to Bro. Mark Maynard. They had graciously offered their home for the retreat which was a real blessing. After a grill out and some basketball and cornhole, we headed off downtown to Louisville Slugger Field to see a Louisville Bats game. The Bats are the AAA affiliate of the Cincinnati Reds. Following the game , there was a pretty cool fireworks show. Afterwards, we headed back to Steve and Debbie's house for some snacks and a Looney Toons movie. Saturday morning began with breakfast from Burger King and a devotional charge from II Timothy and then it was on to Kart Kountry. IT WAS HOT!!!! And I don't mean just regular hot--it was Ohio Valley sticky hot! However, despite the heat, everyone survived and had a great time. We rode go-karts and played miniature golf and some trampoline basketball. Some of the go-kart races got pretty competitive, including one of teens bumping the Youth Director from behind, causing him to spin out and lose the race! We also had a chance to see a street preacher on the corner just up the street from the Track which was pretty neat as well. On the way home we stopped at Kingfish, a nice seafood restaurant down on the Ohio River and enjoyed some really good food. Thanks to all those who came and I am sure we are all looking forward to next year!
