YA - 13 years later

I can't believe that Mark and I have been hosting YA in our home on Tuesday nights for 13 years. I came across a memory on Facebook recently and it made me think of all of the YA we've had the pleasure of meeting in those 13 years.

Below is our current group. They are amazing. We have a school teacher and a social worker and a guy who works at Lowe's and a travel agent and a pediatrician and a nurse practitioner and an engineer and a musician/roadie and a medical librarian and the list goes on!

We limped through covid. We met on zoom and then we met in the park in front of our house. I remember when we finally sat around the table on our front porch together for the first time since covid. There were just a few of them at that point.

Then our home burned and we moved into a two bedroom apartment. New folks contacted the church and asked about the group and the group started back after a 6 week hiatus and the group began to grow once again.

Last week, and again tonight, we are playing Bible games. Last week we played Family Feud, Jeopardy, and another game where we played for "gold" by answering Bible Trivia on our phones. Hannah, standing in the picture, teaches high school Spanish and is a whiz at creating fun ways to learn.

She did an incredible job creating all of these games and even brought

buzzers.

For Family Feud, we had to divide into four families and two families played at a time.

Someone asked me about this group the other day and I told them, "they keep us young." They really do because we know what they are watching on TV . . .so we watch it. Sometimes I read books they mention. We hear the topics of their conversations.

Are you a part of a small group? If so, is it a mix of ages? What have you been studying? Or is your group a social group? or a book club?
