Monster Bash '07

Yes, we are a little behind on the updating. Our internet is finally running smoothly after 3 months. But, here are some pics from our 1st annual Monster Bash (Halloween Party). I'm not sure why we've never done it before because it was a hit! We had costume contests, food, games, a haunted trail and ended with a few games of mafia. It was a great opportunity to draw more people into fellowship with us!

So we realize this calls for a little explanation. Bobbing for apples is a little out of style these days so we made something a little more grotesque...bobbing for poo. That's right. Those are snickers bars floating in mountain dew!


It was a relay race where students had to bob for the poo, then chew it up completely before the next person went.


The girls were a little grossed out. The funniest was when one girl held her nose going in!


A "gold-digging..."


Ben & I were "peace & quiet" since we barely get that working with college students!

Hard Man Challenge Weekend

Well, we call it a challenge because we don't want to call it a retreat. It kind of contradicts the idea of being a hard man if you go on a "retreat". Nonetheless, we had about 25 guys come up to Brevard, North Carolina. The weekend was filled with camping, building forts, fires, capture the flag, paintball, tackle football and other "manly" activities. The weekend was a great opportunity to spend some informal time with guys and just connect and build friendships. Devin (our staff guy) had a friend of his come & share his testimony with the guys on Saturday morning which was great. Most of the guys that came have been involved in our freshmen guys bible study which ends this week. Please be praying for the comings weeks as we talk with these freshmen guys about being apart of a more committed bible study group.
