What a wonderful Wednesday night Gangway we had last night!

We enjoyed a good "get to know ya" game called spider-web. Everyone sat in a huge circle and Lindsey C. started us off. I gave her a big ball of yarn and told her to hold the loose end. Then she stated her name and 1 comment about herself (the funnier the better). After this, she then threw the ball of yarn across the circle to someone else who then repeated the process. Soon we had a huge spider web of yarn in the middle of the circle. I then proceeded with an attempt to navigate from one side of the circle to the other without getting tripped up. It was quite humorous!

After that we all went into the College and Career room to watch a DVD of this past weekend's "Morph Weekend" trip. We reminisced and laughed and told those who didn't go that they need to go next year. It was a great time for everyone!

Then, I talked about 1 Peter 2:9, which was the verse the speaker (David Grant) talked about at Morph. I asked some of the students who went what they remember about this verse and the lessons we went through. Rachel T. talked about how this verse tells us we are "special" because we are chosen by God. It was also mentioned that we are God's people, the church, not some building or pews or the like. Thus, we concluded by praying that we would all recognize just how special we are as God's chosen people and seek to live in the light of that knowledge.

So, may we all remember that we are special, chosen by God, to proclaim His excellencies in all the world!

For His Kingdom...
