Well, we just finished up with our first "program/event" of the summer - our first senior high small group! We had a small group (ironic? maybe.) but I know of a few more that will be joining us as the summer progresses. Nevertheless we had a lot of fun, good food, and great discussion.This week we talked about names and identity, keying of Rob Bell's Nooma video, "Name", as our discussion starter. It was a great jumping off point for some talk about who we are compared with other people and why we shouldn't be comparing ourselves with others in the first place! We also talked about the 'names' or labels that describe us and how we each have a unique path to walk.
The group is excited about continuing with the video/discussion format. Several expressed interest in moving to a morning meeting! (Of course "morning" for high school students means bright an early at 9:30 a.m.!) We'll talk some more about that and let everyone know if we end up moving times. Tuesday mornings is the current preferred time. That would keep us from bumping up against summer sports or work schedules.
All in all, a great start to the summer.
