Some of the youth came to hang out with us for a game night.
We formed alliances and enemies over Spicy Uno. Learned who to trust in Mafia. And challenged our memories and ability to focus in 4 on a Couch.
It’s amazing how you can form bonds and relationships over games.

What have you done lately that brought a smile to your face?
How have you made life fun?
How has life with Jesus infused joy into your life?
