Schoolies 2008

Dear bloggers in bloggerland,

This last weekend a team of 6 volunteers went down to Victor Harbour is assist in the organisation and running of this years Schoolies event. Schoolies, for those of you who don't know, is the end of exam year 12 party organised and run by a Christian organisation called Encounter Youth. It lasts from Friday night til Monday morning. Now, you might think it strange that a Christian group would organise a massive party at Victor Harbour, but if you remember this church hosted a mean dance party a couple of weeks ago. Basically, Christians love to see people have lots of safe fun... even Jesus was into a good party every now and then.

So while we were down there Malvern was involved with helping on the buses that ran from Victor Harbour to Encounter Bay and to Goolwa. We rode on the buses from 7pm til 3am and we got to talk so many awesome Schoolies who were all having a fun time with there mates in a safe environment.

Schoolies was so much fun, tiring, but fun. We are definitely going to be going back next year and to have a team of over 10 would be awesome. So, if you are 18 and over and interested in volunteering to help run such an awesome event then this could be for you.

Bye for now and remember these words... John 1:4-5 "In God there is life and that life is the light for all people. The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has no power over it".

Grace and peace.
