Bags of Blessings - Saint Patrick's Day

Saint Patrick's Day talent show candidates... The girls loved filling blessing bags for the homeless and sampling Green Goodies.

Middle School Chefs for Shepherd's House

Our girls LOVED the opportunity to grow in their giving to others by cooking for the residents of Shepherd's House in Bend. We made mega burritos and delicious Rice Krispie treats for more than 70!
From chopping onions and olives, to mixing beans or grating cheese - melting marshmallows or posing for photos - Buddies love to be of service to others whenever they can!

Skating at 7th Mountain Resort

Our own Olympians showed their talents at our annual skate party n Bend. From gold medalists to beginners - Buddies were voted Best on the Ice for having fun!

Happy Birthday Josilyn!!!

We celebrate Josi's 16th! Such a special girl serving with a team of special girls! Buddies are the best!!!

Valentine's Celebration 2010

We Love to Love! "Grow to Give" - our 2010 theme was demonstrated in true form this Valentine's day as we prepared gifts for residents at Clair Bridge and Bend's Hospice House. Giving to others allows us to grow relationally.

What amazing Buddies we have this year - I can't say enough wonderful things about these girls and leaders. God is so good!
