Wow! What a fantastic evening we had yesterday night! I was in awe of how wonderful our time was at youth yesterday. We took off from RFC at 6:15 and headed over to Morris Fellowship Chapel to do the Journey to the Cross. Everyone took the journey really seriously and learned so much from it! We all took the journey individually and got to pray a lot on our own and touch a crown of thorns, taste bitter vinegar, nail a sin to the cross, think about distractions, rip fabric (representing tearing down of barriers between us and God), light a candle, and write our names on a wall with our prayer requests/praise items. We had a long discussion time afterward and I think I can safely say we all grew closer to God and to each other through the experience. I felt this was such an important thing to do this Easter season. I pray that everyone takes their experience into this weekend and really celebrates Easter for not only the chocolate but for the real reasons. Remember my challenge to you guys - share your experience from yesterday with someone who was not there. Let's spread the word and the good news about Easter!
Once we were back from Morris we embarked on a chocolate Easter bunny hunt! Shane and I hid the bunnies in pretty hard places which ended up taking up the rest of the evening. We all munched on leftover chips, Oreos, our chocolate bunnies and chocolate milk! YUM!
See you all next week Wednesday, 27th for a Bible study at the hut! HAPPY EASTER!

Youth Plans Changed - April 20
Hey everyone!
I'm so sad/sorry I couldn't be at the youth event this last weekend! From what Shane said it went really well - which is fantastic! I'm glad most of the youth were able to be there!
On another note, Aaron will be handing out papers to all you guys, but I thought I'd post the info up here as well!
This Wednesday, April 20th, meet at RFC at 6:10 to go to MFC for Journey to the Cross followed by a Chocolate Bunny Hunt at RFC. Pick up is as usual at 9:15. And I'm taking care of snack!
Thanks & see you a little earlier than usual on Wednesday!
