Last Friday night the youth at our church hosted a movie night. We used a data projector from Diaconia to project a movie on the wall of the church. In the end we had a pretty good turn out, but it wasn't without some struggles. We had about five youth who were part of the church's youth board which Matt and I help with since it overlaps with work we already do for Diaconia. The week before the movie two of the five announced they were switching churches. Another one was working and couldn't come and the other two showed up very late. So basically the event was a Matt and Katie production. We'd certainly like to see more ownership of the group by the youth themselves. Pray with us for the strengthening of this group.
There certainly were some successes though. There were about 20 people who ended up coming; some youth, some kids and some adults and we watched a remarkably good Christian movie that many seemed to enjoy. I made popcorn over an open fire for my first time and only burned a little bit!
