Abby, Nathan, Caitlin, Josh, Jerry, Amanda, Ella, Justin, Eric, and Kelsey tonight. Started "Mind Over Media" series. Watched video and discussed our thoughts on how/if the media affects us. Announced Winter Camp and bowling. Had a great time afterwards with Abby and Nathan. Going to lunch with Justin tomorrow.

Abby, Nathan, Caitlin, Jerry, Josh, Amanda, Ella, Justin, and Mari were all at youth group Jan 9th when we resumed after nearly a 3 week break! It was really good to see all of them again, too. We are now meeting from 6-7pm and bringing snacks for afterwards. This week we played "Zoomie" and it took a few times to get, but eventually it worked nicely. Then we watched "All Stressed Out" which was very impacting. I wish I had something for them to take home, though. One of the youth talked to me about some stuff he's going through at home, which was great. I'm very glad he felt comfortable enough to come to me.
