New Life Christian Center sponsored a 4-H Program for youth ages 11-17 on Friday, January 26th. Youth and their parents learned about 4-H programs and services that is offer to them through the New Hanover County NC Cooperative Extension. Parents and youth learned that they are able to participate in summer-camps, culinary art sessions, horticulture, fund raising events, etc.

Youth also participated in a culinary arts session that taught them how to prepare and cook food. Many thanks to the NC Cooperative Extension.

New Life Christian Center youth attended the Positive Direction Youth Conference in Durham, NC February 16-17, 2007. Ten youth along with staff attended this event. The youth were given the opportunity to network with other youth from across the state of North Carolina. The youth were taught how to set and achieve goals, understand how to make the choices they make, and shown how to have responsible good fun when hanging out with friends.

Workshops included  Deal or No Deal Game Show, How I'm Living Right, and It's Going Down.

As entertainment youth were able to attend the PDY Concert with various Christian Groups which consisted of Canton Jones, Taylor and Charles, Cheryl"Salt" Wray, former actor Play from House Party, various dance and Step Teams, and the PDY Children's Choir.

The youth at New Life look forward to attending another PDY Conference next year. As one of the youth said, "I never knew serving God could be so much fun!"
