Youth Camp
Friday afternoon we went to Narrabeen, a beach town about 40 minutes away for a camping trip with the Youth Group. Most of our group went down there early to set up the tents and get dinner organized. However, some of the group stayed back to drive the kids out to the coast, and a couple self-sacrificing warriors from the church went back to pick up a load of kids after driving all the way out to the beach at rush hour to drop off their carfuls of camping equipment. It was a warm afternoon too, and a couple of those cars were not equipped with air-conditioning.
The kids arrived around dinner time and had snags for dinner and then a "youth group" style meeting with worship and sharing. Some of the kids from the group shared their testimonies. In the morning, John shared a devo, and everyone came away raving about how much his devo had spoken to them.
Overnight the sky had changed though, and in the morning it was rather rainy and cool. But by the time group quiet time was over and it was time to pack up the tents, the rain turned into a drizzle and then stopped. The afternoon was spent at the beach before a pizza lunch and returning to Castle Hill.
All in all, the most common complaint about the trip was "it wasn't long enough!"
