Connections07

Well we had a great time at connections over 80 youth went to it from Tassie. An all time record and a living stress fest for us leaders.

It was for me a great thing to see our youth, some who had never been further than 1 hour from their home before be at such an awesome big event. Most thought it was better than Hillsong or Planet Shakers that we go to each year.

I loved the way we had some first time attenders with us, youth who have never been to church before. All thought it was great. Some have attended church since then!

I learned that once again community it would seem was what all of them craved and it happened for all of them in some way. They certainly went feral at the Saturday night youth rally, we then made a mistake and gave them all a Krispy cream donut which took their hyperness to a new level.

I just want to apologise to all those who got a "peg" on ya. Our youth distributed over 300 peg on random people during the weekend. One on the commissioner was the high light and one on the boom camera during the youth rally was cool. also. On the other hand the stewardess girls on the plane on the way home came under a lot of grief.

I hope this event was as good for your youth as it was for ours.

For me personally I couldn't have done a smarter thing than fly to Fiji for a holiday afterwards.

Blessings

Simon.
