 Ellis began at Jefferson Street Christian Church in June by
developing a junior high ministry. She graduated from Lincoln
Christian University in May 2010 with a degree in worship ministry.
"Our youth minister, Kyle Alt, is basically charged with focusing
on the high school students," Ellis said. "I started pulling the
junior high students together to give them things to do and create
an outlet for their energy."
This summer the group played ultimate Frisbee and dodge ball and
took a trip to Six Flags. They also tossed pudding at each other and
played egg tag. For that game, there are two-man teams, with an egg
duct-taped to the back of one person on the team. The eggless person
guards the teammate, while the object of the game is to smash the
opponents' eggs, which can be very gooey and sticky.
The summer group had an end-of-the-summer cookout at Kickapoo
Creek Park on Thursday evening.
