Day One is in the books folks! It was a super hot day, but we still had a blast.
I have all the action shots on my real phone, so those will be posted when we get back. The internet is way too slow here :-)
After the lake we had our Connect time, which is a time for your youth group to have quiet time and talk thru what we are learning etc. We actually were placed in the JCafe for our spot this year! Score!
And some strange illustration Justin was doing to show that when we make God increase, we have to decrease and vice versa...
The theme this year is all about Us learning to make God greater in our lives and our earthly issues lesser. During worship last night, we focused on the Gospel and making sure we knew the good news- and that it was indeed good news to us. He spoke about how when we are really aware of our sin- that we have an issue- then the good news sounds like great news to us each time. The reason we find the gospel boring or Unappealing too often is because we are not convinced of our sin.
In our church checkpoint afterwards, we also challenged the youth to really engage in worship and singing each night. We will see how that goes :-)
And a recap of some of the things I didn't post pics of yet. We had lots of kids do Bazooka Ball, two zip lined, three climbed and two did kayaking yesterday. We also had some pool games and diggin deeper, and one lone tuber. They updated the climb tower this year and know it's a climbing adventure where they can all climb at once and for the whole time. So much cooler.
Now we got a little sleep and it's time to do it all over again!! Here we come Day Two!
