Small groups

We started our new small groups on Tuesday. We will be working through a series from Simply Youth Ministry entitled Experiencing Life Together. I feel that an indicator of small group success is when they go over time because of the sharing and discussion. All of the groups on Tuesday went overtime. I am excited to see what is going to happen in our lives because of these groups.

Youth Group has been kicked off!

Last night we kicked off youth group at CCBC. We played some games, heard some words from yours truly, reunited staff versus students football and had a great time reconnecting after the summer hiatus.
Unheard of in youth ministry history we played a game with four teams and after five minutes of playing the teams were all tied. Each team member had a spoon in their mouth, had to a carry a Runt on the spoon a certain distance and then drop the Runt into a bowl. We then played a two minute sudden death and all the teams were still tied. We are going to continue this game next Tuesday.
Also starting next Tuesday are the small groups. We had a connecting time at the end of this week's youth group and are excited for the small groups to start.
We also unveiled the theme for this year.
