HOUSTON TEENS SERVE SILVER AMBASSADORS

On the Sabbath of Jan. 7, teens and parent volunteers honored the senior members of the Houston North, Texas, congregation by treating them to a special luncheon event before services.

The volunteers arrived early to bring contributions for the meal, prepare the kitchen, decorate tables with beautiful flower arrangements, and set up a performance area.

After welcoming the seniors, the teens served a delicious meal of lasagna, salad, tea and dessert. Two teens were assigned to each table to serve, dine and converse with their guests. A supply of “conversation starter” questions at each table helped stimulate dialogue.

At the end of the meal, five talented teens performed instrumental music pieces. Solos were performed by Audrey Hegvold on the flute, Justin Smith on the trombone and Emma Stevens on the violin. A duet was performed by Jack West on the violin and Nolan Webber on the guitar.

Those in attendance thoroughly enjoyed the event, and many commented on the enjoyable fellowship between the teens and the seniors. It was a great opportunity for our young people to get to know and serve our seniors.
