12 Young People

6 Leaders

20 hours

Chaos!!!

On Thursday the 12th April at 3 pm the St Andrews youth group invaded the church for a night of fun and madness. Armed with paintbrushes, paper and power tools they set to work on various projects around the church. In an hour and a half they had completed the painting of a room, the re-organising of storage and the planning of shelving and an office/prayer room. Then 3 hungry teams re-united for some pizza and ice cream and a good old giggle.

After the dinner clear up we ventured outside for an easter egg hunt, then down to the glen for some games. Two hours later 12 hyper young people and 6 tired leaders headed back to the church for some down time followed by more games.

At 12.30 the gaming came to an end, the sleeping rooms were established, movies set running and card games started up. Long into the night the sound of games, movies and snores could be heard alongwith the quiet whispers of leaders saying the beautiful words, "It's your turn to go and sleep."

With only one person surviving the whole night awake the leaders wakened those who had drifted off and warned them all to be packed up and ready by 9.30. Breakfast began and tired but excited faces came in for their cereal. At 10 the teams united again and set to work on the clean up, by 10.45 the church was sparkling and the van was packed, just one thing left to do. Judge Cool returned to announce the winning team, "Red in the Head", of course, how could they loose with such a great leader. A great night was had by all, young people and leaders.
