Speed Dating

Several months ago our

PRIESTS AND LAURELS

had an activity

we called

SPEED DATING.

I think Bailey is "really" excited about this activity!

 Each round was 3 minutes long.

We would give each couple a question to answer...

and the date was on.

Then the girls would rotate...

and the next round began...

and so on and so on...

until everyone had a chance to date each other once.

 Christian was a GREAT sport for the camera!

 I loved how each "couple" really enjoyed each date. 

 It's NOT always easy to get a bunch of 

16-year to 18-year old kids

to come to CHURCH

every Tuesday night each week to hang out...

 but these kids aren't like most kids.

These kids have a belief that they are

CHILDREN of GOD.

 That He knows them individually.

Loves them unconditionally.

 It is because of that knowledge they choose to put their

FAITH and TRUST in GOD...

and not in the ways of the world.

 They are the BEST youth.

 And their isn't any other place or position in the church I would

rather be...

than right here...

right now...

with these kids!
