Death by Safey Scissors
Youth worker, Heather Gerfen, was offed during the setup of The Tomb, April 24th, 2009. She was taken by surprise when Youth Pastor's wife, Jennifer Driller, allegedly tossed the scissors down from the top of the stairs to the bottom where Heather was working.
According to sources, Heather apparently asked for the scissors to clip off an errant piece of garbage bag that she was tacking to the walls to create the dark atmosphere of The Tomb. Jennifer responded by throwing the scissors to her, but Heather couldn't see - because it was dark - and the scissors caught her right in the chest.
"They were just safety scissors. She should have been paying attention," said Ms. Driller. Some onlookers were horrified. Others were hysterical with laughter. Ms. Driller showed a tasteless sense of humor and was the one responsible for the photo. Pastor Dennis was indifferent. When asked about the incident, he barked an order to keep working. "We can't be playing around like this or we'll be here all night!" he was heard to say repeatedly.
Work on The Tomb continued as students carelessly moved the body aside and out of the way.
Reportedly the event went off without further incident and was considered a rousing success by all attendees.

Downpour 2009
Hi, Everyone!
2009 is here and I am ready to make some changes that have been ideas and goals for a couple of years. First, Wednesday evening service will begin at 6:30 PM with Café Time and run until 8:15 PM. Worship is at 7:00 PM and then interactive small groups & activities.
Saturday nights are changing to one themed event service a month. As you’ll see on the Saturday Night Schedule, the service will have a specific purpose, decoration, and activity. Our goal is to reach out to the community in a larger way. As the new year unfolds we’ll be looking at different places that would be possible to have these events.
The leaders and I are excited to see the ideas begin to work, starting with The Big Shabang at the Edge.
I’d like to say thank you to all of you who have supported Downpour Youth in the past and I look forward to your continued support through those changes.
Sincerely,

Here's What You Can Expect For This Coming Year:
1 The Big Shabang – our annual all-night God, Fun, Food, and Music fest. Bring your friends and get geared up for a night with God you won’t forget!
2 More off-campus events (camping, skiing, field-trips are just some ideas we are batting around and planning)
3 More outreach and mission events
4 Small group meetings, outings, and get-togethers
5 More intense Wednesday Night Services (these will look more like our current Saturday night services. Look for time changes!)
6 An updated meeting space with Café and Game room and themed decorations
