Big Wednesday

The first Wednesday of every month is “Big Wednesday” for the student ministry at our church. Some months we do a special service project, and other months we just do something fun. Other times (like this past Big Wednesday), we combine the two!

Recently, our youth group met up at a local restaurant. This restaurant is decorated with all kinds of classic cars, and the burgers are even named after some. The food is American diner fare (burgers, country fried steak, milkshakes, etc.) We had gotten milkshakes there before, but had never eaten a full meal.

We had lots of fun visiting with the other kids and parents in the student ministry while we ate. The food was pretty good!

After we finished eating, we gathered in the parking lot and distributed garbage bags and gloves. We walked to a nearby park and picked up trash and debris. After about an hour, we disposed of our trash and headed over to the soccer fields. It was time for an Ultimate Frisbee game! We had HUGE teams since we combined middle school, high school, and parents. It was a lot of fun, and a LOT of exercise! We ended the evening exhausted and drenched-in-sweat, but quite happy. J
