he Valentines Dinner held Saturday,
February 15, 2014, hosted by the
youth department, was a great success. At a cost of only $15.00 everyone enjoyed a delicious meal, awesome entertainment and a workout on the dance floor. Prepared by Chef Cynthia Fowler, the menu was
stuffed cornish hen, garlic potato, and broccoli
normandy, served with excellence by the staff
of Team EPIC (youth department members).
Entertainment included special surprises from
Shelby Dorsette with her vocal solo, “Saving all
my Love” by Whitney Houston, as she powerfully reached those high notes, and from
Breanna Williams on her smooth flowing poetry expressing the dimensions of love. Additionally, team EPIC put on a wonderful fashion
show modeling styles just right for your date
or wedding. The night was also filled with jazz,
classical, pop, funk, and Bahamian music by
the house band GKB (Giavanna Knowles Band)
with Giavanna Knowles as vocalist, Ashton
McQuay on piano (member of Bahamas National Youth Choir, BNYC), Trevor Wilson on
Drums, and L’senio Bethel on Saxophone. The
band featured vocal solos from three members
of The BNYC, Chanell Rolle, Whitney Chandler,
and Alden Chisholm (Pianist for Ebenezer
Youth Ensemble). Additionally, we were entertained by a band called Force Fusion, with
Lynden Sands on the Saxophone and Matthew
Rolle on the trumpet and congo drums. We
extend a special thank you to all of those who
contributed to bringing the evening to life, and
we look forward to another successful Valentine’s Dinner.

We were pleased to have the puppets join us at the
Youth Service on January 19, 2014. Giavanna Knowles
spoke to the puppets who shared with the congregation an anti-bullying message which was enjoyed by
both children and adults present. We look forward to
hearing more from the puppets during the year.

On January 26, 2014, Sunday School teachers
within the Bahamas Conference of The Methodist Church were honoured and recognized
for their outstanding service to the work of
Christian Ministry with the children and young
people. Held at Trinity Methodist Church on
Frederick Street, the service contained selections from young people from the
various churches within the Conference including songs, skits and
dance. Asari Mackey sang a wonderful solo and
the youth of
Ebenezer recited a poem
entitled “Teacher” as a tribute to
their Sunday School Teachers. Rev.
Christopher Neely brought the message for the evening.
