I had the privilege of serving as a youth leader on a youth trip to King's Dominion last night and it was probably one of the most amazing times I've had since arriving to Virginia over a year ago. For the first part of the day I spent some time with our SR. High Intern, Charles riding a few rides. We finished up our time together eating two huge hamburgers.
After our SR. High group checked in, I was able to spend the rest of the afternoon and evening with a group of 5 of our rising 9th graders. They took me on every roller coaster in the park before 9:00 came. Having never been there, I had no idea what I was in store for. Man was I sore on the bus ride home. But it was worth EVERY second of it!!
I feel trips like these that bring our youth into a familiar setting where they can just let go, really exposes you to their hearts. Some people may knock me for saying this, but there is more to Church than just worship and saying "Jesus" in every other sentence. We are called to have fellowship together. Community. Relationships! That's what this is all about!!!
God, thanks for the chance to invest in your youth.
