2008 BEREAN BAPTIST SPRING FORMAL

Friday, March 28th saw the BBA gymnasium turned into an amazing, enchanted castle where over 50 senior high students from several different schools were treated to a wonderful night at the "Masquerade Ball." Mrs. Kimberly Morrison and her many helpers worked tireless hours to make this year's formal one of the best ever! Amid the lights, candles, draperies and other decorations were the sounds of the "Phantom of the Opera" soundtrack. Mrs. Naomi Hooks cooked a fabulous dinner of salad, rolls, vegetables, potatoes, and cornish hens that was finished off by homemade desserts and Cheescake Factory cheescake. A "roasting" of outgoing youth pastor Steve Rahn was followed by games, senior superlatives, farewell videos and, many other enjoyable events that made the night a phenomenal experience for all who attended. Many, many, many heartfelt thanks to all of those adults, high schoolers and junior high students who gave so much of their time and energy to make the formal a wonderful success!
