So on Wednesday night of every week we have our cru meeting. We start at 8pm in the chapel on the campus of UAS. I am actually on the weekly meeting team so I get to help out with planning the meetings and possibly setting up the after parties that we have each week. I'm pretty excited about the series of talks we will hear from Eric who is a local youth pastor I think. We are talking about what the church should actually look like. He talked about how church is seen as something people do on Sundays and not a daily lifestyle. I'm pumped to see where that is gonna go. We were supposed to have a dance party afterwards but it got cancelled which kinda sucked. I got to see Kaitlin and talk to her for a little bit afterwards which is always nice. Its just good to see her and have good conversation. I know she is really stressed from work so I just try to bring her mood up and her stress level down.
On Thursday we volunteered for a local native american celebration that is ironically called Celebration 2010. We helped move chairs and usher people for the dance performances. It was kind of boring because there weren't that many people there so there was no need for us. The best part of the day was action group. Basically our apartment is our action group. So we have 7 guys where we just hang out in community and do a bible study every Thursday night. We cooked chicken enchiladas for dinner which were delicious then went to Auke Rec and set up a campfire to sit around and do our bible study. On a side note we like on Auke bay which is about 10 minutes northwest of downtown Juneau. Then we had an awesome time going through a study called the Gospel Centered Life. Its really good and I have gone through it at Mizzou with some of our cru guys. I got to tell some of my fellow roommates how I felt about them. Jay is one of my roommates who has been getting on my nerves lately. So it was good to tell him that and we have been getting along better now. It will take time for me to really befriend him in the future but I think it will happen. So overall Thursday night was an awesome time with the roommates.
Today I got to work at a church called Douglas Island Bible Church. We moved some gravel off the parking lot and dug out a channel for the water to run off in. Juneau uses gravel in the winter for snow instead of salt. I guess its so their tires get better traction and the salt is just a waste of time and money. So it was great to use my hands and get a good half day of outdoor work in! Now everyone in my apartment is asleep and I'm typing my blog. We are gonna go camping tonight with our action group just for an overnight thing which will be fun!
