Tomorrow morning early, Kerrigan and I will hit the road for the Oakland airport to leave for General Synod. I think I can speak for Kerrigan in saying that we both are tired, but sad to leave workcamp early. It is such a wonderful time to be together in intentional community. I am always amazed at who each of these youth are--their gifts and their good nature. I received many compliments this week from the staff of FIRM about how friendly and flexible our youth were and willing to help. I truly believe that one of the spiritual practices of workcamp is generous helpfulness. Without much coaxing, the youth volunteer to do their share and more all the time. It is amazing. We have managed to pull off an number of amazing crafts and programs. 
Tonight, a skit was written based on 1 Corinthians 12:12-26 and demonstrated the festival theme "One World, One Body, One Spirit" with such creativity and joy. The culmination was having each child trace their hand and put it on a large poster of a body outline. We posted this in the hall at the end of the night. We will miss everyone and love everyone very much.

Here are the words to the skit:
Narrator: Once upon a time there was a group of friends named; eyes, ears, mouth and nose. They lived in harmony until one day they began to get jealous.
Ears: Man sometimes I wish I could be like the eyes, their so cool!
Eyes: We’re so jealous of the mouth. He can eat and do all kinds of cool stuff!
Nose: Man I can't hear anything! I wish I could hear like the ears.
Mouth: I can taste all these great things but I can't smell them! Sometimes I wish I was like the nose!
Narrator: To hide their jealousy, the eyes, ears, mouth, and nose began to fight about who was the best.
Ears: Hey can you hear that? Oh opps!! NO YOU CANT! We’re the ears and we’re the best!
Mouth: Well, you may be able to hear but you cant taste! That makes me the best!
Eyes: Haha! The best? We’re the most important thing, the eyes!
Nose: No, no, no you cant smell like I can, therefore I am the best.
Narrator: But then they all realized they’d be better off all as one.
Eyes: Hey guy! Look we all need eachother. Don’t you see, we cant function without all of us together!
Mouth: yeah , yeah! Let all come together!
Narrator: So they all came together to FACE the challenge HEAD ON!!

Safe journey to Kerrigan and Adam! Keep the spirit with you.
Captain Kerrigan and Adam are off to the big church parley. So, batten the hatches, trim the sails, cast off all lines, and raise the colors. Fair winds and following seas to ye, me fine buckos.
Okay, so what's up? Adam and Kerrigan leave and you stop posting? Inquiring minds want to know what's happening with you all!
I second Julie's comment! We missed you at Scottish tonight and are looking forward to seeing everyone on Sunday. Be well!
XOXOXO
