Mountains

I took some youth and a couple leaders to climb a mountain this weekend. Monadnock mountain in Jaffrey, NH. We started the day by reflecting on the prominence of mountains in the Bible and how God often met people on mountains. (Moses, Elijah, transfiguration, not to mention Zion etc.) During the climb we read some Psalms. It was a small group but a good group. It brought back memories of my first year in youth ministry and reminded me of some of the things I love about youth ministry. It was cold, cloudy, windy and rainy at the top, but the kids were great. One girl was having a tough time, but made it, which was really cool. All in all, a good day.
