FAMINE RESULTS!
Galilee Youth participated in the 2012 30 Hour Famine on March 16th and
17th. We started off the event with bible study and games related to
famine across several countries. The most hilarious game was "Food
Drop" where team members competed to break balloons holding the food item
they needed to complete thier list. We noted that some youth just sat
on the baloon and it popped while others could sit on it and bounce and
still, no balloon pop!
Our service project was sorting, folding and packing clothing and supplies
for "The Orphan Grain Train" down in Annapolis. While we had fewer
participating this year - we did still manage to pack 110 boxes! Go
Youth!
This year's "Mystery Event" - by popular vote of those finishing The Orpha Grain Train project was to do go-carts at the Crofton Go-Kart Speedway. The weather was absolutely beautiful and everyone managed to get around the track at least twice. We did have a few that got stuck and a few that had a bumper bump but everyone had fun.
After go-carts, we returned to Galilee for some down time. Some
chatted, some played an indoor game of Bible Scattegories and some played
Volleyball or Basketball outside. Then we attended worship and
finished of with the traditional Feast!
A big thank you to all the parents who supplied food and a special thanks to Mike Santos, Mike Schmidt and the Nehring's who all stuck with us through the night, through the service project, through the go-carts and through the feast! YOU GUYS ROCK!
PLEASE turn in your famine packages so we can get them money out to World Vision and save kid's lives! If you can't find Ms. Jean, just ask someone in the office to put your package in the safe!
