Rock Youth in Logansport
Last Sunday our Rock Youth group was supposed to go canoeing. We were really excited, and we had lots of canoes and lunches and big plans. The week before, the river was too low. Then it rained for about four days and the river was too high, and we had to postpone the trip. As Robert would (and did) say, BOO! A few true outdoorsmen were willing to take their chances on the river, but we made other plans instead.
Instead of canoeing, we made other plans and decided to do a photo scavenger hunt. We had a great turn out – 16 teens and 9 adults – who filled three vans and drove all over Logansport, acting crazy and taking picture of each other with our cell phones. I was so proud of our teens and our adult team – especially our drivers, who did awesome and didn’t look stressed out at all!
Some of the things you might have heard in one of the vans (in all caps because, let’s face it, there was a lot of yelling):
“STOP!”
“PULL OVER!”
“I THINK I SEE ROADKILL!”
“DOES IT HAVE TO BE A LIVE ANIMAL? LET’S PUT THE CHIHUAHUA IN THE FIELD!”
“CAN I JUST ACT LIKE ROADKILL? I’LL LAY DOWN IN FRONT OF THE TIRES.”
“If there’s five minutes left and we still haven’t found everything, you can act like roadkill and someone else can act like a dog with another person walking you.”
It was a great day. Our youth group is growing, and I am excited about the relationships that we’re building with teenagers from our church and from the community. God is going to do something great with this generation, and I am really thankful to be a part of helping them fulfill His plan for their lives!
Next week, we’re at the Ben Long Center for basketball and, for those of us who are less excited about sports, sit-down games 
Bring your A game and your tennis shoes, practice your 3-point shot, and come hang out with us next week!
