We had a great night and morning this past weekend at the Missions Overnight. Friday night we got together as a team and learned about Abram. After discussing the teaching in our small groups, we headed back to the SM worship room for worship with the other missions teams. After worship, we separated into our missions teams again and the Norfolk team watched the Lion, the Witch of the Wardrobe. The movie highlighted 4 kids working together to serve others. We used the movie as a jumping off point to discuss how we could best serve the people of Norfolk.
After a good night's sleep, we loaded up two charter buses and headed to William and Mary where the SM summer interns had planned a fun "Amazing Race" style game. We separated into our small groups, got fun costumes and headed out to complete different challenges that helped teach us about teamwork. We finished off our time with a debrief at the Matoaka Amphitheater complete with delicious Chick-fil-a and a prize for the winning team before heading back to the Chapel to be picked up. It was a wonderful weekend and we can't wait for the Norfolk missions trip July 28-30!

MS North Carolina Training Overnight Recap
We had a wonderful evening and morning of training on Friday and Saturday. We continued studying Abram's encounter with God in Genesis on Friday night as well as watched an episode of Extreme Home Makeover in order to look at another organization that helps meet people's needs through home repair. On Saturday we filled two charter buses and headed over to the campus of W&M where we split into teams for an "Amazing Race" style competition in which teams had to complete 10 different challenges at stations around the campus. We used this competition as a team building exercise since every team was made up of the students that will be in their small group on the trip. We wanted them to understand the challenges and benefits that come from working on a team to complete a common goal.
Below are links to any forms that you may need as well as the questions we looked at during small group time if you would like to ask your son or daughter about them. Thanks for partnering with us as we work to make this mission trip as beneficial as possible for your child.
