Wednesday Meetings

What are Wednesday meetings like?  Typically, it starts with some social time and snacks because you're probably starved.  Then there's Theme Time followed by Chapel Time.  Theme Time revolves around your participation in a game or activity that's fun and gets you thinking.  It may be about prayer, your relationship with God, or simply believing in yourself and what you can accomplish with a little faith.  Once you get the idea, you split into discussion groups with others your age to learn from each other and share what you think.  Chapel Time is a short worship service to hear a positive message that you can remember and use in real life.  You might volunteer to sometimes participate in the service, perhaps in a skit or music.  And everyone joins in singing a few hymns or praise songs backed up by Randy on the guitar.

Next comes Mission Time when you break into teams to plan and work on community service projects.  Examples of projects include delivering split firewood.  You'll come to realize that there are folks in Caroline County who rely on firewood for heating and even cooking.  Another has been writing to soldiers in the military and sending them care packages.  There have been some cooking projects to prepare snacks for Sundays following worship service.  And there's been an agreement with a local grocery store to clean up parking lot litter and return grocery carts in exchange for donated canned goods that you can give to those needing food.  If you're interested you might sew gifts for the Christmas bazaar or build something to use around the church.  At least once a year, everyone pitches in to make subs for a CIA fundraiser.

When you've been to a Wednesday meeting, you're going to want to come again.
