As you've probably noticed, if you've been following my blog for long, I've tried to write a post each week trying to either sum up, or point out the main events from each week I've been here.
Last week can be described in one word:
FUN!
To be fair, I haven't had a week thus far that hasn't been fun at some point, however, the overarching theme for this week was "fun".
On Wednesday schools were closed for Yom Kippur. Now, I don't know how this translates in some ministries, but for Student Ministry this means:
Ultimate Frisbee
Most of my day was spent having fun and playing frisbee with some awesome high school students. Ministry doesn't get much better than connecting with students by some good old fashioned competition.
Thursday was Mountain's All Staff Vision Day.
Of course, this included some business but mostly, it was team building activities - ways that our staff of 60+ people can get to know each other.
We played:
Charade Telephone (best party game ever, I might add. Why have I never thought of this before??)
Archery
Corn hole
Paintball
and a couple other games
All with, of course, some competition. And of course, we ate together. (very Biblical of us, I know.)
Of course, any chance of getting Student Ministry work done in the couple hours was basically shot after this meeting. As much as we all tried, we ended up getting into a finger blaster war in the SM hallway.
Let's just say, I'm convinced I have the best team of people to work with in Student Ministry - I have a crazy amount of fun and I'm also learning a ton about how to do good ministry. So thanks, Blake, Jared, Abby, Helen, John, and Jon. You all are awesome.
I'm also convinced that the Mountain staff are some of the best people I will ever get to work with. I'm so grateful to have the opportunity to be a part of something so unique and so life-changing!
All while having some fun in the process :)
like! :)
