Capture 2008!

On Wednesday August 13, the youth group “captured” the incoming 6th graders. For those of you who aren’t familiar with the capture, let me give you a brief summary. The youth group went to each of the incoming 6th graders’ houses (or where they were spending the evening) and “kidnapped” them. Once all of the 6th graders had been captured, everyone went back to the church where we played games, ate, and spent the night. The youth group does this as a fun way to initiate the 6th graders.

Capture this year was incredible fun, I think, for everybody. The first person we captured was Hannah Reed. When we got to her friend’s house, where she was “staying” the night, we found her face covered in what looked like tribal war paint, but was actually lipstick. Also especially memorable was when we captured Eleanor Carre. We ran into her living room to find her in a pink bathrobe and pajamas. The other 6th graders we kidnapped, William Edwards, Carly Rind and Gabby Govert, were equally surprised to see us. Hopefully each of them feels welcomed and accepted into the youth group and will enjoy being a part of it.
