Hey there's Creek, how we doing? Come on, come on, come on. So our staff gets away once a year,

we call a staff retreat, and it's a sweet time of looking back, looking forward,

thanking God for all the work he's done, praying for all of you, spending time in worship,

communion together, and then there's always a little friendly competition.

And so what the competition looked like this week, or this year, I should say, is as we went

out to a lake near Austin, every car was a team, and they had to build a raft out of trash, things that have been discarded,

and then the person from their team had to float on said raft, and whoever would float the longest

would win, the first one to sink would lose. You had to build this thing so that it would stay afloat out of

trash and so i know that's confusing so i've recorded a few videos for your enjoyment here it is

they're bringing the rafts this one was actually a great one because it uh you know it's styrofoam is key

this is from star wars evident, I'm not sure.

That's a confusing one, okay?

The one of big tires and wood, you know, I was confused.

And so I'll show you some of the results if we can have this video.

Five, four, three, two, one.

Hands off. Oh, three, two, one. Hands off and down.

There's one back there that was a box.

Here's Susan, the announcement person.

She's on the bottom of the lake there.

It's shallow, and she is proud that her boat has sunk and is on the bottom.

But you see some that are kind of staying strong and floating off to Never, Never Land.

And I start there because here's what I want you to know.
