Fusion 8/12/06

Sum total of last night at Fusion:

2 young people attacked outside the building.

2 emergency service phone calls.

1 bag of ice cubes.

1 confrontation with two incredibly abusive and extremely inebriated young men who did not take kindly to my observation that they were possibly over our 11-18 age limit.

4 drunken teenagers.

1 birthday card.

2 splintered bannister poles.

1 unhelpful taxi driver.

1 helpful taxi driver.

Instances of general rudeness and negative attitudes amongst those in attendance? Too numerous to recount.

1 27 year old youth leader who in the face of all the above, didn't look a thing like Jesus. Or act like him.

1 amazing team of young leaders who in spite of all the chaos unfolding around them, served diligently, carried out their roles with dedication and showed their devotion by making sure the evening closed with prayer and worship to the One who inspired us to do this event in the first place.

Jamie was right. The evening could have been worse.
