Youth Week 2010!

Well, Youth Week 2010 has come and gone.  We had a great Crossfire Team from The Wesley Foundation at UGA this year.  Crossfire is a group of 6 college students from the University of Georgia that give up their entire summer to travel all over the state and work with youth groups, offering leadership and a good example for what a young Christian should be.  This week's theme was 1 Timothy 4:12 which says, "Do not let anyone look down on you because of your youth, but set an example for other believers in speech, love, life, faith, and purity". We focused on the reality that our lives as Christians matter now, while we are young just as much as they will when we are older.

The week was filled with exciting worship, meaningful messages, awesome games, wonderful fellowship, and lots of fun.  On Tuesday, there was a video scavenger hunt around Richmond Hill.  As usual, my team won it all.  (:  On Thursday, we had messy games day, which was complete with peanut butter, shaving cream, mashed potatoes, barbecue sauce, water balloons, flour bombs, countless condiments, and much more.  Needless to say, it got pretty crazy.  Friday wrapped up Youth Week with a day long day on Tybee Island that ended with a worship service on the beach.

RHUMC's new Youth Leader, Jack Caldwell has done an incredible job planning and directing this week's events.  We're all very excited that he is here and are having a great time getting to know he and his fiancé.  Also, this week would not have been possible without all the help from our youth parents that devoted the majority of their week to chaperoning, driving, and feeding the youth group.  Thank You!

The Crossfire Team's next stop is in Wigham, Georgia.  You can follow Pez, Kyle, Daniel, Erika, Stephanie, and Judi and read about their adventures as they serve the Lord this summer at: www.eripeavy.blogspot.com.
