Hours of high-flying fun (sometimes literally) for everyone!


Inside moves is a crossroads event that has always been highly anticipated and this year was no different. People are always asking "when are we going rock climbing? that was so much fun last year!" This year we had one of the largest groups we've ever taken to inside moves. Some of us were "old pros", some of us were first-timers and many of us were in between. We learned new tricks, reached new heights, and found out once again that rock climbing will really wear you out! Thank goodness for pizza and mountain dew to charge us back up! Pastor Ryan shared a brief lesson about the importance of feeling connected, and how in God's family we are all connected. He mentioned how when climbing we must put our faith in the person that we're connected to. This can be directly paralleled in our christian lives when we must place our faith in Jesus Christ as the only "connection" that can save us from our sins. We played a game with a ball of yarn as a way to demonstrate "connectedness", and Chad somehow found himself the lucky receipient of the entire ball of yarn after the game (not in a "here's a gift" type way, but in a "let's tie him up and then pull him off the ground by his harness" type of way, see pictures below). We had a couple of new faces and a few people who had never been to a crossroads event before; it was great to have them there. Tim Laduke was there shooting all the action during the evening, kudos to him and credit for the pics below. Chad also shot some pics during the evening, but then had a nasty run in with a rope later in the eveing (just kidding, but the pic is pretty convicing, no?). It was a fun eveing filled with challenging physical activity, great fellowship, and some good food for the stomach as well as the mind. Thanks to all who came, and remember to check the calendar to get the scoop on all the upcoming crossroads events.
