200 strong. Nov 13th, Entry #95.

Sara:  200.  Count 'em, 200 FLOCKs in the past 7.5 years.  Wow.  That is alot of awesome-ness happening right there.

As we did with the 100th FLOCK that we hit, we had ourselves a birthday party to celebrate.  Miranda told me that this was kind of a big deal since none of us have ever been to a 200th birthday party.  Point well made.

My thanks go out to Jane, Miranda and Samantha for decorating the youth room for us.
More thanks go out to Jordan who decorated 3 cakes for us.  And not just normal cakes.  3 seperate cakes, each cut out and decorated as a "2", "0" and "0".  So cool.

I only took 1 picture and it was upside down.  Forgive me.

I think my favorite part of the night was when we asked the FLOCKers to share their favorite FLOCK memories with the group (sidenote: Aaron and I made this up on the spot so we could give our volunteers time to cut the cakes).  The kids got up and told some pretty funny stories from FLOCKs past and even participated in a few reenactments as well.

It was a super-fun night full of streamers and goody bags and disney music, but the whole point of the night still kind of floors me when I think about it.  200 Sunday night youth groups.  This doesn't even count the service projects, fun nights, mission trips, retreats and other cool things.  Just Sunday night FLOCK.  Wow.
