Oh my goodness, what a night! We spent most of this past semester working through a fabulous study about the story of the Bible, starting with Creation, wrapping up with the beginning of the church. It’s been about 16 weeks (counting breaks and some city-wide worship nights) of goodness.
I thought we’d mix it up tonight.
So my friends Doug and Dave rolled in town with a few games up their sleeve. And by games, I mean BattleTag and a 30′ Bungee Run! We set up a battlefield in the worship room, complete with boxes to hide behind, blacklights, a fog machine, and a strobe light! And the 30′ Bungee Run just barely fit in the fellowship hall.
We had some friends from Park Forest Baptist join us for most of the night, and what a night it was! We had people laughing and playing and mingling all over the building. Kids were challenging leaders on the bungee run. Folks were forming alliances and blasting their friends in the laser tag arena.
Some students didn’t make it tonight, including all of my own middle schoolers. They had a big concert at the school tonight, as did one of my high school daughters. Yeah, May is kind of crazy like that for a lot of people.
But the students who came tonight had a blast. We owe a great big thanks to Doug and Dave, and I hope that we can find more ways to play together this summer. Thanks, too, to the leaders who helped make tonight possible.
