Birthdays in the Office

Tuesday the 23rd was Katherine's Bday and the girls decorated the front office with streamers and balloons and presents and an awesome ice cream cake all waiting to surprise her when she returned from lunch. Happy Birthday!!






Today, Thursday 25th is Meredith's Bday and she showed up to the office only to find a giant monkey wishing her a happy birthday and her desk covered with a colorful assortment of sharpies, ribbon, and a pinata! Yay for birthdays!

Sweatin' It to the Oldies Pack-In!!!

This week we packed-in to the warehouse in our rockin' '80s attire and jammed to some oldies but goodies on the radio!

Saturday Mornings

Saturday mornings are quickly becoming my favorite part of the week. The management team dresses up according to some theme, like the "Smurfs" or "Sweatin' to the oldies," but that's not why I like it. Slowly our warehouse begins to fill with staff that have been out on trips all week. They've been tested and tried. They've been through some of the toughest things they've ever faced, and been brought to tears by what God does in a group during a CP week. Then on Saturday they see all the others who have been through it, too. They greet eachother with such excitement and joy and love.

This weekend I heard stories of 6-hour-long worship sessions. I heard of powerful times of prayer in the rain. I heard of important conversations that lasted well into the night. As part of the management team, we don't always get to be there for these amazing moments when God is at work. Saturday mornings are a chance for me to glimpse at the wonders of who God is. I see God's joy, patience and love as staff return from service, adventure, and worship.

This Saturday morning promises another dress-up theme. And I can't wait to see the faces of friends greeting eachother after another week, and to hear the stories- whatever God has for them this week.

Ah the memories...

Friday night had a great sunset. A good contrast to Wes' green motif. Looking back, I really had a lot of fun out there!

Ichthus Recycling

A Giant Bottle was constructed of PVC to catch the attention of Ichthus goers and encourage them to recycle their plastic bottles. We asked people to write their name and phone number on the bottle for the chance to win a prize if their bottle was drawn out of the gigantic recycling bin!

Smurf Pack-In

Okay, so this year the Warehouse Manager - Rebecca - decided to make every pack-in on Saturdays themed. Every Saturday our staff come back from a week full of campers, sleeping and cooking outside and other various activities and they need to pack back into the warehouse all the stuff they took out that week. So we wanted to bring some excitement to those work days. The first Pack-In was "Smurf" Theme.

dumpster diving

hey, this is Steph :D
Today was the first day of Ichthus and the start of the CP recycling gig there!
We prepped all day yesterday and erected our AWESOME 12-ft tall bottle made out of PVC pipes and plastic fencing. (It looks good, set up on the main road leading to the main stage.)

But today I got to go dumpster diving...

Hami, Andy, and I took the gator (our golf cart) all over the Ichthus campground to the recycling bins we set up yesterday. And next to these bins are the dumpsters. Yeah, nobody has really been using the the recycling bins (you know who you are!) so...we did. Since Hami and I both have short arms and we couldn't reach the trash bags inside, Andy got them for us. Until he had to leave for a meeting. Soooo, we had to improvise!

It ended up with me getting into the dumpster can, passing the bags out, and then Hami and I would go thru them together. It was pretty fun, smelly, and there was SO MUCH recylables in the dumpster! I now have to sanitize my chacos, poor smelly sandals that they are, but for now it's back to Ichthus.
