Caitlin Haynes
"Hey! I'm 16
and a sophomore at Loch Raven High
School. I go to
Long Green Valley C.O.B. where my Dad is a pastor. I'm also stuck with him as an advisor,
but I guess I can deal (I love you, Daddy). I love singing (especially
with Myra), and being crazy with my (sometimes too) energetic youth
group. I like playing field hockey, and I love playing softball for my
school team. I have a younger sister and two younger brothers, and as
much as they sometimes annoy me, I love working with kids. This is my
first year on cabinet, and I love it so far! I hope we can plan some
awesome stuff for everybody this year! |

Ben Martin
"Wazzzzzzzzzzup?
As you can probably guess from above, my name is Benjamin Mark Ritchey
Martin. I'm a 15-year-old, 6 foot sophomore at the "wunerful
wunerful" establishment known as Middletown High
School. You can
usually find me in my driveway working on my basketball post up game or
in the gym doing the same thing. I live outside the town of Myersville,
MD (about 20 minutes from Frederick). I live with my younger sibling Jon
and my parents Tim and Donna, who are pastors at Grossnickle
COB. When
I'm not on the basketball court, I can be found singing in the school
choir or jamming to my favorite band, newsboys. |
Myra Martin-Adkins
Hey Everybody! I'm Myra, a fourth year SENIOR in the Theatre Department at
the Duke
Ellington School of the Arts. This is my 3rd year on cabinet and I am proud to be the longest running member, besides Jan, of course. I'm a
member of the Washington City C.O.B
where my mother is a pastor. I love stage managing, producing, good monologues, singing (Watch out for me and Caitlin
at the Talent Show this year!), playing guitar, travelling (I hear Wichita
is LOVELY this time of year...), speaking Swedish (Especially at 4am!), meeting new people, leading, and BVSers. My excitement for the upcoming
district events increases daily and I can't wait to see you all and share
this enthusiasm!! |

me. I am a 15 year old unspoken for sophomore at Linganore High School.

COB. I like to play golf,
football, and baseball. As far as clubs you name it I'm probably
involved in it. I have one sibling, my brother Adam (9). I am 5'

(preferably Bridgewater) and after that become a pastor. See ya at the events." |
Brian Walbridge
"I am
a 16-year-old Junior at Easton High
School. I am a newcomer to the
district youth cabinet and am very excited about it. I go to the Easton
Church of the Brethren, and am active in many of the youth activities. I
like to skateboard and have been doing so for 6 years. I am also a huge
car enthusiast. I also like to do all those other teenage things like
hang out with friends, listen to music - stuff like that. Right now I
have no clue what I want to do when I graduate from high school, but
I'll decide that when the time comes." |
Jan Walker (advisor)
"I’m serving my fourth year as an advisor to the Cabinet.
I’m a member of the Locust
Grove congregation in Mt. Airy, MD, where I’ve been working with
the youth for the past 12 years (that means I’ve survived 3 NYC’s
as an advisor, and looking forward to the next one this summer).
I graduated from Towson State
University,
back when “State” was still in the name, with a Computer Science
degree.
My paying job is as a computer programmer/analyst and air
pollution scientist with an environmental consulting firm in Columbia,
MD.
Of course, the job(s) that I don’t get a paycheck for is all
the church volunteer work.
Besides being one of the leaders for youth group, youth Bible
Study,
and Sr. High Sunday school class, I also serve on the Music and
Worship Committee and play piano for the music team during worship
services.
In my spare time (not much of that some weeks), I enjoy sewing
and needlework (especially cross-stitch), reading, playing the piano,
and watching sports.
Whenever possible I am in attendance, cheering loudly, at my
nephews’ games.
The past 5 summers I’ve spent a week of my vacation as a
Director for Youth Camp at Shepherd’s
Spring." |
Pete Haynes (advisor)
"This is my second year on
district cabinet. Ten years ago I co-directed the first week of Youth Camp at Shepherd's
Spring. Twenty
years ago I was a youth pastor in Indiana, attending my first (and
thus far only) NYC in 1982.
Me, my wife (Karen), and another couple
formed and led the Northern Indiana District Youth Choir way back then.
Does that make me old? Since
attending Bethany
Seminary, I've pastored two congregations - the last 11 years at
Long Green Valley Church of the
Brethren in the northern suburbs of Baltimore. I have four children,
ages 7 to 16. I love camp, music,
drama, Jesus, and His church. If you're still interested, check out more
