HS New York Training Overnight Recap
The overnight was a great success, thanks to all who attended. We had part two of our study of Abraham, we will finish on our last meeting (June 15th). Attached are the questions we discussed in small groups after the teaching as well as the passage. Later Friday night we watched the first hour of the movie Finding Forrester and discussed (questions attached) some of our impressions of the culture of intercity New York and how it relates to our trip and what we will be seeing while serving in the big apple. Saturday morning we had a team building competition all across the College of William and Mary's campus. We broke into teams by mission team and competed in different challenges for points. We capped the overnight with Chik-fil-a for lunch provided by Wren Holland, operator of the Mooretown Road location. All in all it was a great time of fellowship and learning about God showing up in people's lives in life changing ways.
Below are the links to the discussion questions as well as any other relevant forms:
