MSC Senior Week
Team Day Activity Stations
Following Bible study this morning, all teams rotated among six activity stations, including: Through the Hula Hoop — each member of the team stood in a circle with their arms linked and had to pass through a hula hoop without breaking the circle Frisbee Bridge — using half of the volleyball court, each member of a team had…
Friday Morning Bible Study: God Fits Me Outside the Bubble
J.R. Bronger, who works with the congregation at Danville, along with his lovely wife Sue were our special guests this morning as J.R. came to teach our Bible class. He began class retelling a story of 12-year-old David Philip Vetter who had a severe-combined-immune deficiency (SDIC), meaning he had no immune system and any exposure to bacteria or germs…
Friday Morning Flagpole: God Fits Me
This morning, kitchen staffer Bruce Carpenter directed our thoughts around the flagpole prior to breakfast.

It has been said that “freedom is NOT FREE.” There has been tremendous loss…

Once each soldier crossed the finish line and deposited his/her life (a golf ball) into a bucket, they continued to run to return…
Introducing Ultimate Frisbee
Sr. Week introduced a brand new event today: ultimate Frisbee (which is similar to soccer, but played with a Frisbee instead of a ball). A team scored a point once a teammate passed the Frisbee to a fellow-teammate in the opposing team’s end zone. The event got rave reviews, although many admitted it was very difficult due to constant running. During…
Canoe Heats
The big event finally arrived this afternoon: CANOE HEATS!!! Each team launched their canoe from the bank of Lake Shakamak two-by-two. Throughout each rotation this afternoon, two teams competed simultaneously and maneuvered through a heart-shaped course of buoys, complete with optional bonus buoys to shave off one minute from the total course time for each buoy successfully completed (maximum…
