We have survived the first week of Youth Wed night activities!
That in itself is something to be proud of, considering that tonight's welcome-back activity was a fast-paced, crazed night of scavenger hunting.
Rick and I are launching into year 2 of working with the Wednesday night youth group at our church. We each lead a small group (he has high-school boys and I have jr high girls.) Normally, the routine is: snack supper, praise/worship, video lesson, then small group discussions.
Tonight, however, each small group was a team on the scavenger hunt. And OH MY GOODNESS... everyone had so much fun! There were about 35 youth that attended, and the energy was extreme. It seems that everyone was very excited to be back into the swing of things.
Here is a picture of the list of items on the hunt.
Our team successfully gathered everything we needed, AND made it back in time (with 2 minutes to spare.) Probably the most difficult item on the list was finding a cloth hankerchief. Seems nobody carries those anymore. But sweet Mrs. Riddleheuber came to our rescue with one of her late husband's hankerchiefs. (I'll pause for an "..awe....")
Anyway - It's late, and we just finished watching Sarah Palin give her knock-out speech at the RNC... and I'm going to bed.
