Hello everyone! I'm writing after an exciting last week on a sailing trip, and right after our first day of Spiritual Formation class! First I'll just say that the sailing trip was amazing, we had an awesome time together, being confined together for as long as we were. We had the opportunity to go on night watches for one hour at a time with a partner, which really encouraged deep conversations and bonding time. Also, in the evenings we would have times of fun singing and worship opportunity, with times of sharing afterwards. The sharing time definately brought us all closer together, as we shared some of our fears for the year and we admonished one another in love to bring about more community. A great time all around, and amazing views!
Our first night of helping out with the youth group came around on Friday night. This is the first high school youth that Warmland has ever put on, so it was a bit of a gamble, as Friday nights are the official party nights. We got a lot of younger high school students, and we had a blast running around Crofton measuring various things in banana lengths. Our group got along well, ran into random peoples houses for things we needed, and had a great time. Aside from the pot-smoking older kids behind the community centre at the skate park, everything went along great. It was nice to actually get involved with them; it's evident that they are definately unchurched kids which makes it exciting for the rest of the year. An answered prayer was that there was actually a good number of kids there, I was scared that we would have a night with few kids. Also, we met some solid Christian teens on the Sundays we've been at Warmland, and they have always gone to a different churches youth, and they came out to ours, so it's nice to have some good examples there with us.
As for the class today, it went super well, the time just flew right by! It should be an exciting week coming up. Thanks for prayers again!
Love Scotty
