November 16, 2007: Bowling
Posted On Monday, November 19, 2007 at 11/19/2007 10:18:00 AMA simple—and short—night. For this outing we were partnering up with the Urban Promise YMAD group, and the kids in that group can’t stay out as late as the youth in our Youth Group. Which means we had to leave on time, we could only play one game of bowling, and there wasn’t time for a devotion before we went.
Because we partnered up with YMAD, there were more people there: twenty-three, including leaders. (If I remember correctly.) Unfortunately, because our groups were so big, we had to be separated, with Urban Promise in one lane, and the Youth Group in three other lanes, halfway across the alley.
But aside from the fact that it was a short night, which disappointed a lot of the kids who are used to staying out later, I think everyone had a good time. (We’re supposed to go from 7:00–10:00, although 11:00 is a pretty normal time for us to end. So ending at 9:30—or rather, 9:45, by the time we finally got out of the bowling alley—was disappointing to some.)
