Youth Group Teambuilding: Spider Web

 
Fourteen members of Holy Family’s Youth Group gathered on Sunday, October 22nd for a chili dinner followed by team building activities and worship.  The chosen activity was “Spider Web” and is part of Mobile Team Challenge low ropes course which was purchased with YMGI grant funds, matched by HFEC YG fundraising and the Diocese of Indianapolis. With Halloween just a week away, the theme had the perfect seasonal nod. 
 
In the activity, participants must traverse a “toxic spider web” without knocking it down.  Team members must strategize and plan to develop the best approach for completing the task.  The exercise requires support for all team members and physical effort and leadership from each person.  Communication and trust are essential for successful completion. The youth made connections from this activity to their own faith journeys.
 
 
Following the activity, the attendees participated in Compline led by Thomas Canter and music worship led by Ian Johnston.  Youth group members closed out the evening by making s’mores on a charcoal grill.  The activities were led by Marty Blake and Jolene Johnston.

Youth Group Fall Campout

 
Eight members of Holy Family’s Youth Group and four adult chaperones went on an overnight camping expedition to McCormick’s Creek State Park. Youth enjoyed hiking in McCormick’s Creek canyon and waterfall area and the Wolf Cave nature preserve.  The youth also spent some time participating in team building activities.  Additionally, the youth cooked two meals over a fire.  The participants also shared Compline by campfire and held Morning prayer by the fire as well.

Flowers for Friends

 
Members of Holy Family’s Youth Group recently visited the Hamilton Trace Assisted Living facility in Fishers. Students met with residents and delivered flowers to those who wanted them. (To maintain the privacy of residents, we only post photos of our youth.)
 
This trip was inspired by an impromptu visit to an assisted living facility while on their 2017 summer mission trip in TN. For more information about Holy Family’s Youth Group or outreach programs, please contact Youth Director Marty Blake. mblake@hfec.org
