Youth RALLY Re-cap
We had a blast at the District Youth Rally last week at Stallsville UMC in Summerville. Over 85 youth from 7 churches attended! We played some great new games, ate hot dogs (!), heard a wonderful speaker and enjoyed great music. A special thanks to David Lupo for these photos. I was too busy playing games!
Getting ready to play:
The rules of this game: No Talking. But, as usual, technology wins and the cell phone came in handy! Here's Davis and Bill Dorfner...cheating... : )
Up next, Will hanging on for dear life during a game of "Drop the Keys". This was a FUN game. One that we'll definitely play sometime soon!
And finally, we divided into groups and devised a plan to keep an egg from breaking when dropped from 7 feet. Cotton balls, bubble wrap and straws (?) helped us complete the task. Here's Jake scheming with his group:
And Donny, doing the same:
And Sarah, who bravely climbed the ladder to be her group's egg dropper. In the end, her team emerged victorious with two successful drops. Nice going!
After the dust settled from all the games, we moved to the sanctuary for some worship time. I hope everyone enjoyed the evening and left feeling energized and excited about the new school year!

The Truth, The Whole Truth, and Nothing But the Truth
We had a great time talking about the TRUTH last Sunday at MYF. We played "Two Truths and A Lie", during which we learned Mercer has never had braces (have you seen her perfectly straight teeth?!?!) and laughed over Jess's close encounter with a squirrel (yikes!).
Then, we played a popular card game ("Baloney Sandwich" or "I Think You're Lying") that requires players to stretch the truth and display their best poker faces.
Then, we discussed why people lie, if it's ever ok to lie, and how to tell the truth even when it's hard.

YOU try planning a surprise birthday party for a friend without telling a fib or two! Which raises the question: Is it ok for me to lie for the sake of the surprise? Discuss amongst yourselves!

UMYF News!
Did you know that the average person lies 13 times each week? It's true! Join us this Sunday night (August 9) from 6 - 8 in the CLLC. We'll play games that encourage you to lie (gasp!), talk about telling the truth (even when it's hard!), and uncover the truth about lying. Be there!
BOAT DAY!
You asked for it! It's Boat Day 2009, on Sunday, August 16 from 1:30 - 5:30. Have you RSVP'd yet? No? Well, what are you waiting for?!?!
If you plan to attend Boat Day, you MUST let Elizabeth know BY THIS WEDNESDAY (August 12) so we're sure to have adequate boats, captains, life jackets, food, chaperones...you get the picture. Please e-mail me (eskogman@hibbenumc.org) or call me (813-8700) before August 12 to sign-up. All participants (Hibben members and guests) must have a completed waiver, too.
