THA-THANG:

Super 21s from the playground to the parking lot. Pax could choose between pull-ups, dips, derkins, or squats on one side and Merkins, v-ups, Freddie Mercury, or LBCs on the other side. PAX were instructed to move between stations any way other than running or walking. Bear crawls, high knees, Bernie Sanders, etc. were used to mix it up.

After 30 minutes of fun we moved on to Wham-O lunges and then returned for a second set of Super 21s. This time we ran between stations.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

An encouragement to live by grace.  It’s so easy to fall into the performance trap — thinking that our acceptance with God is based on our performance.  On good days, we become proud and think God owes us.  On bad days, we get discouraged and condemned and think God will punish us.

Our acceptance with God is completely based on the righteous life, sacrificial death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.  God now sees us though and in Christ.

“Our worst days are never so bad that you are beyond the reach of God’s grace. And your best days are never so good that you are beyond the need of God’s grace.”
Jerry Bridges, The Discipline of Grace

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Lots of chaos happens to us and it often puts us into situations you can’t control. You can, however, control your actions. React intentionally to this chaos and don’t let it control you. You can deal with the situation and be positive, or you can deal with it and be frustrated. The positive route is way easier.
