Final TACO night - CIA May 2015

From last September to May of this year, our CIA youth have met with their Mentor/Mentee's once a month. This is our second year of having mentors in our youth ministry. 

As our final evening, we socialized together and once again consumed Taco's.

We began the evening with praise and worship. 
Those in ETM joined us.  

This will be the final time Carraugh, Simon, Jonathan and Sarah would play for youth group night.  

Thank you SO MUCH for your leadership in this time.   

Always a fun time 

After worship we split up. 

ETM'rs to Catechism class and CIA and Mentors sitting down for a great meal. 

I made them wave.  : ) 

We set up the TACO assembly line in the kitchen. 

Women first.  

Hmmmmm, now that's a scary picture Nicolette and Olivia.

Sisters........  

That's better Nicolette.

It sure took the women a while to get their food. : )

Relax Elayna.  

Finally the boys get their turn. 

Yummy.  

Everyone enjoying the meal.  

Taco salad, Kevin??

Jacob taking 3rds I think.  

Jonathan helped make the juice.  Thanks Jonathan. 

A series of pictures of Nicolette. 

I think they speak for themselves.  

If you remember last year, Ryan had crutches.  

This year it was William.  

Who will it be next year? 

After our meal Mentor and Mentee alike spent time sharing how the year went.  Below are the pairings.

It was wonderful hearing the sharing that went on and how these mentor/mentee relationships are starting to grow deeper and bear fruit.
We will be losing our grade 12's this year, but gaining grade nine's, so we will have to see what new pairs are born in September. 
We look forward to doing this again next year.
