Youth Meeting 23 Jun - Solving Mysteries?!~

We had an exciting and enriching youth meeting today. Hope all those present enjoyed it as much as I did. Here's what happened.

Meeting time was supposed to be 2.30pm, but we only managed to meet everyone past 3.30pm. A total of 8 people turned up. We started simply by asking if anyone wanted to dig in to the 'marvelous' spread of snacks (Chicken wings, nuggets, fishballs, Lay's, etc.) before us, but everyone declined.

So we started off with games hosted by Abner. Splitting into 2 teams of 4 and 3, we began the mystery solving. We went over a few word riddles, discussing with our teammates and deciding on answers of all varieties. For some, we struggled and tried to squeeze answers or hints out of Abner, with varying results. We finally managed to get all the answers.

3 really intriguing maths/probability questions followed. Each of the participants went on scibbling on their rough papers, working on the different possible scenarios and combinations.

After cracking our brains (almost literally) for more than an hour on riddles and puzzles of varying degrees of difficulties, we called an end to the games. The team with 4 people won, obviously. (33% more total brain power)

Snacks were offered again, with some takers this time. The next on the programme indicated was a special item. This resulted in a soulful rendition of the song 'Along the road' by Aaron, accompanied by Abner as the guitarist. (I hope it was nice because the person typing this post also happens to be the singer)

After that, Aunty Catherine gave us snapshots of her life story, beginning many years back (From her school days!!). It was a captivating story, getting everyone's attention, even those lacking a bit of sleep from the previous day.

The meeting drew to a close soon after, allowing a time of chit chat over the snacks that were still available. Announcements of the next to meetings were given to those present, including the scavenger hunt on the 14 July, which led to some excitement among the 'crowd'.

The meeting overall was an enjoyable one. Surpirisingly, some of the 'delicious' snacks was left over, a rare occurance for a youth meeting (Perhaps that was due to Jayne not being present, perhaps).

I'll like to thank God for the enjoyable time we had and the excellent atmosphere throughout the meeting. I'll also like to thank those who put in their time and effort into the planning and execution of the meeting. Finally, I would like to thank all who made an effort to come and make the meeting memorable and worthwhile to organise.

Hope to see you all soon. God bless.
