We were back in the youthspace this weekend...FINALLY. Although there's still much to do, we had fun. Of course there was several gremlins of sorts running through the technology (probably just dust and some wayward youngsters pushing a button or two that they shouldn't have!) but it worked.
Adam was a good sport during the jr hi time when he was invited to face off in a banana eating contest with mitch and then after the blindfolds were applied mitch sat down we we cheered Adam on for him to find out he was chowing down on his on. lots of laughter. I also learned ~almost the hard way~ that the new polyed floors are extreme slippery when you've got smooched banana on your shoes! Fortunately Rod, one of our adult leaders has a great servants heart and cleaned the mess up properly.
For jr. high we walked through a discussion of the great Storyline. talking about the prophecies of the character of who Jesus is and what that means for us. I had several videos that I had been saving from ys that were excellent to help see it in perspective. we talked about holy week and what that means.
For sr. high we learned some great trivia about that favorite Easter time candy - peeps. and then Hagg walked us through some heavy understanding on righteousness...a perfect way to start what we call Holy Week. Hagg and i both noticed that there seemed to be a lot more energy in the room this week. may have been just the fact we were back in the old/new space. we also had a few new visitors. i knew the one young person. had walked with them in another context a while back. they are doing really well. funny how small the world really is.
