Locked-in
at St. Mark's
Youth spend the night at Church
The time between 5 PM Friday and 9 AM Saturday is usually pretty quiet at St. Mark's. But not so on August 5-6, when our youth spent the night in the Church.
The "lock-in" was themed "Chronicles of Narnia", and, indeed, that movie played and was discussed in Bible study. The night was for food, fellowship and discussion. It was a fun time.
Dinner and breakfast were served. The kids brought snacks to share. A scavenger hunt, hide-and-seek and other games filled out the night.
A service project of making up school bags was performed during the lock-in.
And yes, there was some sleep. After the adults were worn out .
