Our volunteers got here Saturday. SOUL staff led ice breakers (a maze scavenger hunt and a game of Ninja) so staff and volunteers could get to know each other. After a snack, we had a time of worship. Our speaker this week is Sarah, of Poplar Ridge Friends; songs are led by Bryce, Christopher, Edna, Lyndsey, and Will. Sunday, we split into teams so we could represent the Center at each area church: Oak Hill, Mt. Moriah, Liberty Baptist, and Fairford Free Christian. That afternoon, we did a flyer blitz of the neighborhood for Sports Camp. SOUL staff led another round of games meant to promote teamwork among the volunteers. Our day came to an end with a time of worship.
And now that it's Monday... Sports Camp has begun :-)
Today, we taught the kids basic basketball skills. We had four stations set up so the kids could learn to dribble, pass, shoot, and play defense. Before lunch was practice, after lunch were half court and then full court basketball games. We also taught basic cheers; the cheerleaders gave a good show in the afternoon.
Sports Camp has gotten off to a fantastic start...

Members of Centre Friends Meeting are praying for our youth, chaperones, and the other groups this week. May God bless everyone at MOWA - givers and receivers and God's Love!
