Throw Back Thursday – Teen Leader Fun

I had the chance to serve in the youth ministry in my church for about five years and it was such an incredible experience.  One of the amazing things I got to share in was the fellowship & family of the teen leaders (the volunteers that tirelessly serve).  I would like to think that in some parallel way, we, like Frodo, had a ‘fellowship’ and a bond like that of the Lord of the Rings 🙂  But – that being said, I’m CERTAIN that we laughed a whole lot more than they did.  And that’s part of why I love these people and they still include me in their ‘family’ today.  We laugh – a lot.  Like, till you cry or think you might throw-up kind of laughing.

And so Katelynn, one of the teen leaders, was heading off to a far away land to pursue a masters degree – we threw her a ‘going away party’ that was also combined with celebrating Christina’s birthday.  I of course used it as an opportunity to bring along my ‘awesome booth’ and made everyone make fools out of themselves…but WOW… what fun memories!!  We also, of course, had a piñata – because no party is complete without a piñata 🙂

You can view all of the images HERE in an awesome PASS gallery – AND know what’s SUPER COOL??!!  PASS has now added a super easy ‘Print’ feature that allows you to order prints from my high-quality print lab and have them shipped right to your door for a super reasonable price!!  It’s fast, convenient – and the print quality is a MILLION times better than those photos you get printed at CVS or WalMart!!  I promise!!!  Check it out!  Again, CLICK HERE to view the fun photos!!  The photos will only be online until June 30th, 2013 though so don’t wait!!!
