Fall Kick-off

Ryan and I had the pleasure of hosting our Sunday school class Fall Kick-off last Saturday. There were 37 people there, including us, which made things a little tight but not too bad. Dr. Wellum, our Sunday school teacher, was also able to come with his wife and their five kids. They are such a wonderful example of a godly family, and we're just so blessed to know them. This is a picture of the Wellum family.







































Anyway, we mainly hung out and talked, while munching on an amazing spread of food. Some of the boys went outside and played an entertaining game of Monkey Bar Golf, also known as Hill-Billy Horseshoes. It's hard to explain but consists of sets of two golf balls connected by a rope being flung over PVC pipes. You get a certain amount of points depending on which rung the balls wrap around when they're thrown. The first team to get 11 points (or maybe it's 15--I can't remember) wins.




















We later played Four on a Couch. Also hard to explain, but you start off sitting in a big circle, alternating guys and girls. The idea is to strategically move people so that there are four girls on the couch if you're a girl, and four guys on the couch if you're a guy. The tricky part is that everyone has drawn a different name, so you have to try and remember what the name is that everyone drew. It's kind of complicated, but was lots of fun, especially with a group this size.

We ended the game at 2 wins for the guys and 2 wins for the girls.

It was a wonderful night, and it's such a blessing to be surrounded by such strong Christian friends. We love all of you--thank you so much for your friendship!
