Jr High Augusta: ReCreation

Posted in By St. John's-Shandon Youth Page 0 comments

Hey there folks,

Sunday is a day of ReCreation at the Jr High Augusta Home Works mission. We go to church, have a Sunday School thing where we do skits and play games, walk the Labyrinth, watch a movie, and stuff like that. This year was unique in that we came back home for the retirement celebration for the Rev. Mary Moore Roberson. The kids thought it was cool that we were going back, and Mary Moore was thankful for our return and participation. The service was way cool, and the party was awesome. Thank you so much for you service to St. John's, Mary Moore!!

We drove back to Augusta, and we arrived just in time to join a viewing of the Princess Bride. It is my personal favorite movie of ALL time. There were many people who hadn't seen it (and if you haven't...watch it pronto!), and they really enjoyed it. I think it was my 273rd time. Not sure, though.

After the movie, we went to a nearby park for a cookout party and concert. It was really humid, but we had a great time. Hamburgers, hot dogs, chips, ice cream, frisbee golf, climbing on a tank, and much more. It was a blast! And we were joined by Abi Moon! It was great to see Abi. She is super cool, and she is the youth minister who started this Jr High session in Augusta. She is currently in seminary at Sewanee, going into her third and final year.

We closed the evening with games and devotion. We talked about the passage 2 Timothy 4:1-8. 2 Timothy is a personal pastoral letter to Paul's protege, Timothy. It was a letter written while Paul was imprisoned for the second time, and Paul was writing to encourage Timothy in preaching, teaching, and doing ministry.

Now the day is done, and we are getting up bright and early. Tomorrow is a full day of work, and we have a TON to do. See you soon!

blessings,
