Mascots!

This past Sunday at Youth Group, we broke out into Touch Groups for the first time.  Touch Groups are smaller groups of 8-10 people designed to provide an opportunity to get to know people in a smaller setting than the usual 50-60 who come to youth group each week.  Touch groups will stay constant for at least through the end of December.  Each touch group has two youth YAC members and one adult advisor.

Each group was tasked with two main things.  First, we used the smaller group setting as an opportunity for brainstorming ideas for our social action theme for the year.  As most people know, we alternate years between a service trip and local projects.  This happens to be a local projects year so in order to frame our efforts, our Social Action Coordinator Erika gave each group a list of considerations to keep in mind when brainstorming.  At the end of the meeting each group shared their idea and then we voted, but more on that in a later post...

The second far more fun task that each group was saddled with was creating a Touch Group Mascot!  I think they can speak for themselves..
