Men's Do Something!!

One of the things that I really enjoy in the summer months with our men's ministry are the "Do Something!" activities that occur throughout the summer. We had our first one this past Saturday evening at the Bennings. What a blast! We took advantage of the location with the Benning's back yard about 100 feet above the beach on a steep bluff with Cook Inlet lapping at the bottom. We teed up our golf balls and drove them off the top of the bluff as far (or not) out into the water as we could. Pastor Ryan took top honors for longest drive with his brand new 460cc Taylormade driver.

A unique activity of the evening was testing out the slings that the Peru Team brought back from their mission trip. When I say "sling" that is the David-and-Goliath vareity. Yes, the kind that you swing wildly around and let go of one side and send the stone flying....somewhere. Actually, it wasn't nearly as difficult as we anticipated. We felt pretty good about the fact that no windows got broken, no one was sent to the hospital and (most) the stones acually went where they were supposed to go at least in the general direction that was intended. That was actually pretty impressive. A 'bulls-eye" was made down on the beach with the 4-wheeler which we all started slinging stones at. All I can say is that I can assure you that we will have no Philistine invasion anytime soon with our slinging skills.

Then of course, we had good eats on the grill with lots of good fellowship and friendship shared as well.

We will have more Do Something! nights through the summer, I encourage all of our men to come on out and have a great time. You never know what we will be doing but it is always fun and usually unique. Stay tuned for the next event!
