MOVE09 is off and running! The team gathered tonight at the hotel (which has been a TREMENDOUS new partnership) and everyone got checked in and settled into their rooms. We gathered for a pizza dinner which everyone was pretty excited about and spent some time talking about this trip and how we're going to do teamwork this week.
We talked about basic trip things like eating and sleeping and also covered the importance of honoring and respecting the amazing leaders that have taken vacation and time away from family to serve this group of students.
Kara Weaver (the amazing middle school trip leader) then guided both the Middle School (MS) and High School teams through some focused prayer time centering in on what God will do in us on this trip and for the organizations in the community we'll be partnering with.
After that Kara took the MS team and Stephanie Lancione(The amazing high school trip leader) took the HS team and revealed the trip schedule and some of the amazing places we'll be working. It was hard to hear the schedule amidst all the cheers and wahoos! These kids are ready to hit it and they are excited about what we're doing!
I'm proud of Kara and Stephanie, they're leading your students well, they're leading our leaders well. Off to bed now, early start to the day tomorrow!
