Ministry Update #2 - Chick Nite

WOW! WOW! WOW! is the best way to describe last night. What a blast! These girls are so awesome and let me tell you they are creative!

We did a video scavenger hunt. Truth be told, I'm not a huge fan of the way these are normally done. We had six girls and four leaders in our van and there was never a dull moment. I think we had a plan when we started but we definitely did not stick with it. Allison was on video duty, I was on photo duty, Brooke had phone duty and Ang had driving duty. However it wasn't long before Allison and I switched. Here are some highlights from Team Blue Van.
- running out of the mall for fear of having our video erased
- running commentary on our video about nothing of importance
- dysfunctional van doors
- two injuries
- almost peeing our pants thanks to this Mann who just happened to drive by
- the leap frog song


Stephanie spoke about how a scavenger hunt like this can often look like how we live our lives. She made some excellent connections and took advantage of a teaching moment. She challenged the girls to embrace each day and stop worrying so much about the "i can't wait until I ______, then things will be better." Check out Allison's thoughts on the night.

The students had a blast last night but the leaders did too. It was evident last night that this group of leaders is passionate about ministry and passionate about building relationships with each other as well. It is such a privilege to be serving along side such awesome leaders.
