Oh what a night!

The last of the youth have finally left the building and I sit alone in my office reflecting on the blur of a night we had for our e*MeRgE kick-off. The best word that describes tonight is AWESOME! It was great to see some familiar faces and also meet some new youth in grade six join our team.

Although the weather put a damper on our Treasure Hunt plans, the interactive glow bowling was a great alternative. Yes I admit my voice is sore after screaming for an hour and a half as we went head to head in our various teams. But man was it worth it!

The snacks back at the church were delightful! It was great to hear Jer share about how a new school year brings hope for new beginnings and second or more chances in our lives.

So to all of you who made it out thanks for a great time. I am so looking forward to our year ahead! For those of you who were unable to make it out we hope to see you again next Friday for our Treasure Hunt, as we run wild in Assiniboine Park. Remember you can always contact me if you have any questions, comments, or ideas on how to make e*MeRgE even better. Simply call me at the church (895-0608), E-mail emerge@charleswood.ca, or post a comment on this blog.

Have a great weekend and go Bombers! Good Night!
