North Yorkshire #2--Youth Retreat

It was totally awesome today! We had this youth retreat sort of thing at the church in Aiskew. There were like twenty teenagers/young adults that came, with a few older helpers too. We played a whole bunch of games at the beginning, which was fun. I haven't played crazy games like that for years. We had a really random "pub quiz," which i don't quite understand the name for it. It was basically a quiz on every random thing you can think of, with a general knowledge section, a history/geography section, a music section, an art section, a couple tv section (theme songs and shows), and a sports section. It was amusing; though i don't know a whole bunch of the trivia sort of stuff. I did know most of the U.S. based questions, though. I did feel bad b/c i couldn't remember whether it was Neil Armstrong or John Glenn who orbited the earth first. oh well...lol.

The best part was the worship section. There were only two songs out of about seven that i didn't know by heart. They even played "Dancing Generation," which is one of my favorite songs that we do at the young adult worship groups every couple months. I can't remember what they're called right now...That's going to annoy me for a while...

Anyway, I totally loved it, and got to see a bunch of new people, and people i haven't seen since the Jam meeting a week ago Friday. The only annoying thing is that there isn't another one of these "NRG" (pronounced energy) things until the middle of november, by which time i will be gone.
