Halloween weekend at Bethel means a fall festival at one of the local elementary schools. Dozens of small groups set up booths and gave out fistfuls (literally) of candy to the kids for playing some sort of a carnival game. The high school girls that I get to help lead on Wednesday nights were in charge of put-put golf, and they happily spent an hour and a half crawling around on the floor after stray plastic golf balls. (Although, the princess stayed put with the candy. :D)By the end, we were dumping massive amounts of candy into the bags and buckets of any kid who came along, just trying to get rid of it all before the night was over. The kids thought that was the greatest thing ever... their parents... probably didn't appreciate it as much.
Last time I worked at this booth... I was a senior in high school, in a small group with the same leader who I have joined this year as a co-leader. If that's not full circle, I'm not sure what is.
