On October 19, Team Beta had the opportunity to go to Community Methodist Church and present the message of the cross.  We had a half hour long van ride up to the church, which is always fun hangout time. Our director was unable to be there that evening, and so the parents of some of the members drove us.

We got there just before supper, and found that they had prepared a meal for us and all those who were attending. It was a really neat chance to talk with and get to know those who had come out for the evening. There were several kids who had come with their parents, and they had a lot of fun chasing us around and playing with us.

One thing that was particularly awesome to see at this outreach was seeing the two assistant directors on our team step up in our directors absence. During our presentation, which really focused on the meaning and important of the cross, they were the two who had to verbally present the gospel along with our mimes. I know that it was a stretching experience for the both of them, and as a member, it was so cool to watch them grow.

After our presentation we hurried to take our paint off so that we’d have more time to talk with the people. We made it back out in time to have fun half hour conversations with them. It was really fun to get off the stage and be able to do some talking with the audience instead of being in front of them the whole time.

Once most everyone had headed home, our team packed up our stuff and jumped back in the van. On the way home, we decided to stop for some ice cream and have an impromptu hangout time, which was really fun. Over all, the entire outreach went incredibly well and I felt like God was really working through it. 🙂
