While you were gone

Well, since Geoff was gone to camp this week (still is really) I was in charge of the discussion part of the Lunch Bunch on Tuesday. The topic was something along the lines of “Do extreme music styles (such as Death Metal) have a negative effect on listeners.” I enjoyed the discussion but only two kids showed up, Cameron Bower

and
Joseph Chang.

Then Chris Muse was in charge of W.O.W. (Worship On Wednesday), but only one person showed up for it, Kirsten Paschal.

So we sat around and talked and ate random stuff out of the kitchen and pantry (like a spoon full of strawberry icing and some Hot and Spicy Ramen). Then a little before Kirsten left Kenny showed up to clean so I hung out with him while he was cleaning as usual. After he was done he convinced me to go with him into the woods behind the church and find an old “No Trespassing” sign he saw when we were playing paint ball a few weeks ago. On our way back to the church his fiancée called him and he got distracted and turned around and I took the lead to get us out of the woods.

Granted some of the kids were at camp this week and I know that some have summer jobs and such, but I’m really surprised at the low turn out for these events. I mean we get better turn out for WOW when Geoff is around but I don’t think we’ve gotten more than four kids to come to the lunch bunch yet. Oh well, doesn’t really matter as long as the youth are having fun this summer I guess.

Anyway, there won’t be anything next week because all the CYF kids, Geoff, and Chris will be at CYF conference (high school camp), so I know I’ll be bored that week. I wanted to go, but I wasn’t sure if I’d be free (which I’m not) and waited to long to even get my name on the maybe list for counselors. I am going to be at CHI RHO II though, and I’ll be helping with Vacation Bible School the week before, so my summer is still pretty busy. Later.
