Contagious Tonight

Tonight we met for our first time, this summer, on the beach for Contagious.

There were a bunch of students and we had several guests.  One boy brought his friend a few weeks ago and tonight that friend brought his friend.  That's what it is all about and that's how to grow.  We had a few "newbies" tonight as 6th graders moved into the youth group.

We did our bible study on grace tonight, students then got into their table groups for prayer (we have to change the name of table groups on the beach since we don't have tables on the beach, perhaps mini pods).  

Tonight we launched Parent Pod, several parents hung out together visiting and I stopped by to talk with them about grace.  Besides the biting flies they seemed to have a good time.

Wow, Seth & Sharon ate a lot of hot dogs!
I agree with ladybug...the flag was cool.
Jelly fish - 0
Mosquitos - 0
Flies - 125,000
Anyone have suggestions on what works well to keep the flies from biting? Skintastic and Listerine does NOT WORK!!!

Listerine? We're you breathing on them?

Skintastic is sissy stuff. You gotta get some real repellent. The Avon lady doesn't sell it.

The best preventative is an east wind!

Rick,
Ask Pam & Juan about the Listerine...

showers of listerine didn't work. I just toughed out the bites. I only squealed like a girl once.

I am thinking about starting a little discussion group time in the pod for parents. The discussion will relate to what the kids are learning - any thoughts?

Andy Lawrenson said...

Please by all means discuss. Discuss among yourselves. The progressive era was neither progressive nor an era. Discuss.
Sounds good to me.
