Our church's annual Fall Festival was last night, and I signed up to help out. Checked off several different options on the bulletin flier before I stuck it in the offering plate; I figured they could squeeze me in wherever they needed me, I didn't mind. When I got an e-mail from the children's ministry lady asking if I could work both shifts, I agreed. 3 hours one night didn't seem so bad, and I didn't have any other plans. Then came the postcard reminder: 3 hours, guarding a "bouncer." Madness, to be sure. What was I thinking when I agreed to both shifts?!
Well, when I showed up at church last night, to my joy I was assigned to the giant 2-track inflatable slide that loomed at the end of the parking lot (which, of course, I had to test out immediately!). And for the first 90 minutes, I was working with a couple of middle school students I barely knew but really liked! Can you say sweet ministry opportunity?! :) The three of us had a blast manning the slide, and the endless line of kids (and adults!) kept us busy and made the time fly by.
The night was great, the company awesome, the costumes cute. All in all, a very happy Halloween.
