We wrapped up our student ministry school year with a movie bash last night. Now, I should mention I'm not the biggest fan of movie events. (That's a post for another day.) But seeing as though most of our crew spent the last week and a bit writing exams, it figured like a good way to end things off.
It was great to hear the laughter (thanks to Megamind and part of Rocketman). It was great to see so many bodies crammed into our stuffy little youth room. And it was great that we didn't end up with a popcorn apocalypse on the floor at the end of the night.
But seriously...who ate all my cream puffs?!?!
We are now officially into our summer schedule. We intentionally take our foot of the gas for the summer so that everyone can catch their breath. I've decided that I'm not a big fan of fighting against the summer schedule, so we scale it down. We have even removed our annual "big camping trip".
We expect to see a fewer number of students. We expect that leaders will be away on vacation. We expect that there will be jobs and camping trips for everyone. So we plan things that work better for smaller groups.
Next Saturday we're hiking Teapot Hill.
Monday mornings in July we'll have breakfast and some Bible study.
In August we'll got to Camp Kawkawa for the day with a a pile of others from our church.
At the end of August we'll take a day trip out to White Rock.
Inexpensive, yet highly relational. Should be fun. Even if the sun doesn't show up!
