Once again the youth of Christ Church put on a spectacular Fall Festival. There were games, candy, face painting, and hot dogs....just to name a few! I must say that the Youth of our church are probably one of the most giving and strongest ministering groups we have. They give so unconditionally wanting everyone to enjoy the events that they take part in. And they are constantly ministering to me. I see that their hearts are in whatever the task 100% and they give without expecting anything in return. I am reminded that I need to follow their example. And my favorite is the way they interact with our children. As a parent of a 5 and 2 year old in our church, I am ever grateful that they have this group of parishioners to look up to.
I think this was by far one of the best Fall Festivals that I have ever been to in my 6 years at CEC. Children were happy, adults were relaxing, and it seemed like everyone was enjoying being together. As I was watching the merriment, I thought about people who are very much against Halloween. And while I am not in favor of scaring people or condoning witchcraft or mocking death, I am in favor of finding an excuse to bring together our church family for fellowship. I savor these opportunities we have to get to know each other better....Sundays just aren't enough.
