Youth Group - August 3, 2008

We had a great time at Youth Group on August 3rd. Caroline made homemade ice cream sandwiches, sloppy joes and fried macaroni and cheese. Tyler brought a friend for the second Youth Group in a row, however lost the $50 hockey challenge (10 to nothing if anyone is counting...) Anyone who brings a friend gets to play Matt at table hockey - the first one to beat Matt gets a $50 gift certificate to either Best Buy or Circuit City.

For our lesson, we talked about the past and how easy it is to dwell on bad things that have happened before. As an object lesson, some of our youth walked backwards using a mirror and tried to avoid obstacles laying on the floor. We contrasted this to how much easier it was when facing forward and walking through the same obstacles (which demonstrates looking towards the future, rather than the past).

Here's a video of some of our "contestants".
