living >>> fusion

At the end of August, Jeff and I started serving in Fusion- the 5th and 6th grade program at church. Three Sundays of the month the kids come to their own smaller service that includes a time of worship and teaching. After the teaching we break up in to small groups to talk about what we just learned as well as what is going on in our lives.  I have a group of eight 5th grade girls.

A few weeks ago we had our day retreat at Look Up Lodge. Its a camp 45 minutes north of Greenville with tons of fun outdoor activities. We spent the morning playing group games... picking up macaroni in a field, searching for flags in the woods, and as leaders getting to hide from the students. The afternoon was spent swimming in the lake, going on the zipline, kyaking, and trying out a big homemade three person swing (very scary).

It was a great day and I am so excited to get to know these girls more and walk through life with them as they grow up!
