Fire and Ice!!!!

On Monday the 19th we had a great time with 8 youth and 6 adults! We want to thank Tim Dutch for creating a wonderful fire and all the folks who gave us their Christmas trees that sizzled and flamed bright in the fire! He even created an easy path for us to use to get over to the burn pile!

After reading about how Moses encountered God in a burning bush, for our lessons, we settled in for s'mores!!!! We have a few great s'more cooks and some who are very creative when it comes to cookin' marshmallows!!

After the snack the snow began to fly! I wish it was coming from the sky, but that would be a lie. It came from the east, west, north, and south, some of it hitting my coat and I even caught some it in my mouth! It came in snowballs and loose chunks, and fell in soft tumbles and heavy ker-plunks. It flew from the wild and the mild, from the boys and girls, from those with straight hair and those with curls! If snow on the head is a way to know how much one is loved, Pastor Dave ranks #1 in this group...rumor has it his hair froze when we got back to the church and shoveled out the food cupboard area.

It was a great time despite the cold because of the warmth of the group! It is certainly a special group!
