Youth Group Rock Climbing



When Josh is away...
the youth will play...


Basketball began this week's youth group, along with some chalk drawing. But this week was a special week. Our lovely Aaron took everyone on a trek through the mountainous region otherwise known as Josh and Kristin's back yard/woods.

The point of this journey was to discover for ourselves what must be the largest boulder in Meredith. And let me tell you, discover it we did.

The adventurous Aaron was the first to climb upon this masterpiece, soon followed by Caitlin and Sophia, who Aaron was able to lift up seemingly with no effort. Our young Mark was quite the monkey and ventured up the difficult way with Aaron. Zoe would have ventured up more willingly, but as she was wearing flip flops, it was necessary for her and Melissa to stand on Aaron's back to arrive at their destination: the top of the rock. Nate also took some prodding, and he found useful several stepping rocks we dug out of the ground(well... Aaron moved them all...). But! We eventually all arrived atop the mountain.

Sara and Mel had remained back at the house with Kirsten and Kristin and the children, and I am sure they entertained themselves somehow, but I wouldn't know how, as I was not there. Mark and Jessie did end up coming, and it was nice to see them after so long.

After the trek to the rock, we came inside to clean ourselves up and disinfect the boo-boos that we received. We watched a very interesting video from Godtube that Kirsten prepared for us, then we split into groups for prayer.
