Christ Our King Passport 2016 Chapter One

It's time for Passport 2016!  I'm your chaperon/blogger Chris Barsam.  The theme this year is This Wild Life, based on John 10:10.  We are here with churches from all over the Southeast.  Our youth will be intermingled with theirs in several ways starting with the Bible study groups.  A lot of the commentary from our youth at the conclusion of Day One spoke of how cool each camper's Bible study leader and group are.

This morning we'll head to breakfast, the Morning Celebration, Bible study, and then we'll find out how we will be serving.

I'm hoping this week will be eye-opening and transformative for our youth, but if I were going to set up a program for adult chaperons to serve, love and see God in others - it would look something like Passport.

Arrived!  After an uneventful drive we get our first look at The Quad at Greensboro College.

The Quad is the center of the Greensboro College campus and the venue for many of the Choices curriculum.

Time for dinner.  Choice include a custom taco bar, hot ham and cheese sandwich with fries, pizza, and a maple glazed pork loin with wild rice.  Salad bar too.

Greensboro dining hall, just as it looked during the Truman administration

Time for the Opening Celebration.  Songs, dances, an enthusiastic welcome, and announcements.  Our youth are the ones in the aqua shirts.

And beach balls being hit around the room.  Ha, just rebounded one with my face.  That was my plan.
