Owls take over the church!!! (10th-12th grade O.W.L. Overnight)



On Friday November 22nd there were not just pigeons on the steeple, there were owls soaring through the sanctuary.  The three facilitators and eight families who are part of this year's 10th-12th grade Our Whole Lives sexuality education program were fabulous!  Parents and youth pitched in for a delicious taco dinner to kick off the evening, followed by a 2 hour workshop session (incredible focus for a Friday evening) and then time to socialize until just before midnight. Parent chaperones and the youth all agree to some overnight guidelines and the youth made great choices.  The kids always have the best time just getting to be kids in the big, beautiful, vast sanctuary space--somersaulting down the center aisle, leaping across the chancel.

Many thanks to everyone who helped out on so many levels to make the overnight possible!


Here are some photos of the overnight, though mainly it is around meal times:
