THA-THANG:
Mosey to South Ball Fields Parking Lot. We will start at southern curb. There will be five cones places along parking lot toward northern curb. We will run to each cone, hop backwards three parking spaces, then run to the next cone, hop backwards three parking spaces, and continue this pattern until we reach the northern curb.
We will do the same thing going back but instead of hopping back three spaces will bear crawl back three spaces.
Next, we will have a race to pick up the cones. The idea is to get a cone and run back to southern curb or to the middle light pole with the cone. However, anyone who is touched by another men must give that man his cone and allow him a second to run off. Whoever ends up back at the southern curb or at the middle light pole with the most cones wins.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I have read from this song in the past in reference to topics but I thought I would read the whole thing today. To me, it is a beautiful song about what it means to be baptized. The name of the song is “Been Through the Water.” It is written by Kyle Matthews. It follows the life of a person baptized as a boy and talks about how his baptism follows him through marriage and as an old man before he dies.
Been Through The Water – Kyle Matthews
Preacher pulled the boy up from the water
Alleluias rose from the banks
There was a new suit of clothes from his Father
And a prayer of thanks
The boy walked barefooted all the way home for dinner
And when they laughed at his muddy feet…
He said I’ve been through the water and I’ve come out clean
Got new clothes to cover me
And you don’t wear your old shoes on your brand new feet
When you’ve been through the water
Ah been through the water
Preacher turned them around at the altar
Pronounced the boy and his girl “man and wife”
In two years they were Mother and Father
And they built them a life
And his old girlfriend saw a moment of weakness
And she said “If you’re lonely come see me sometime…”
He said I’ve been through the water and I’ve come out clean
Got new clothes to cover me
And you don’t wear your old shoes on your brand new feet
When you’ve been through the water
Ah been through the water
He baits a hook with his grandson of seven
And says “Soon, I’ll be free from these pains.”
The boy asked if he’s ever been to heaven
He says “No… but I think I know the way… ’cause I’ve been through the water…”
I’ve been through the water and I’ve come out clean
Got new clothes to cover me
And you don’t wear your old shoes on your brand new feet
When you’ve been through the water
Ah been through the water
