The Past Week
We just want to reemphasize how excited we are to be able to communicate to you what God is doing in and through the ministry of The Well. It has been an exciting and busy week for us as we have had a number of different activities. Our apologies for not getting these posted more quickly, but we are still trying to get used to this whole blog thing. We trust that you will be forgiving for our tardiness as we improve our posting skills.
To give you a brief view of what the last several days have looked like, I can begin last Thursday evening when we had our freshman event here at The Well house. Although we had a small group of freshmen show up relative to what we have had the past few years, we still had a really good time as we played some fun group games, ate dinner together, and then sent out several teams around Johnson City on a scavenger hunt which brought back several, should I say, interesting items.
The following night, Friday, was the kick-off for The Women at The Well, a new ministry opportunity for young women. Around 70 young ladies gathered together for this first meeting, which began with a great time of worship, led by the Pierces and the Jolleys. This time was then followed by a time of teaching led by Lindsay Fooshee, teaching from a story from "The Silver Chair" by C.S. Lewis as well as the story of the woman at the well in John 4. Ladies then had some time for conversation and discussion around table in light of the teaching and then ice cream sundaes and further fellowship followed. Definitely a great first night to what is a very promising opportunity for young women to dive into the Word and into one another's lives.
On Saturday, The Well staff took a group of students down toward Chattanooga to go whitewater rafting on the Ocoee River. Our group of 18 had an amazing time as we enjoyed warm sunny weather, nice cool water and just a good time together. We definitely had a tremendous opportunity to spend some quality time with some students.
On Sunday night, we had our second meeting of The Link, for our ministry team volunteers. It was another good night as we talked about some practical issues of studying scripture and spending time in the Word. This time continues to be a great opportunity for further fellowship and deeper community with our student volunteers.
Thanks for joining us here on the blog. We should have more to share very soon.
for His glory,
Seth
