The Nightmare is a dramatic presentation of the leading killers of adolescents (drinking and driving, drugs, gang violence, and suicide). This event is located in Marshfield, Wi during the month of October. Attendees are guided through a maze of rooms which depict these horrific events. Toward the end of the Nightmare drama, groups are escorted through three rooms that depict the Passion of Christ. The final room contains a video that explains to the attendees what they experienced as they walked through the 21-minute maze. The goal is to let them know that there is a God who loves them. What is the purpose of Nightmare? The Nightmare is about showing the reality of making poor choices in life. The purpose is not to scare people, but to show them the very real consequences of alcohol, drugs, violence, and suicide. The goal is to show people that there is a God, and He sent His son (Jesus) to die for them, to save them from these kinds of choices. |

Thirty-two individuals embarked on a journey to Ozark Mountains, Arkansas (approximately 4.5 hours west of Memphis, Tennessee) July 12-19, 2008. First English and Peace conducted a week long mission trip focusing their time and efforts on two primary areas of ministry: elementary children and home improvement. Each person spent two days hosting a day camp for children at the Boy’s and Girl’s Club, which consisted of skits, games and a Bible lesson. Relational time was built between our high school youth and the children of Arkansas. Two days where spent on home improvements for the community. These improvements involved painting houses and deck staining. |

This program is the annual high school winter retreat (grades 9-12) held at Imago Dei Village. This years event took place on January 18-20 and was hosted by Crossways Camping Ministries. Six girls, one boy from FELC and two girls and one boy from Peace attended, along with Rachel Abraham and Troy Taylor as the adult chaperones. The theme was Matthew 6:19-24 "Treasures in Heaven". The youth had a fun filled weekend of fellowship and biblical times in negative 5 degree tempature. Other youth groups that attended were from Our Saviors in Oshkosh, St Paul in Neenah and Waterloo. Youth found this weekend to be a well needed break from school exams and a nice time to build new friendships and refresh their Faith while seeing old friends. |
