All ten Guatemala 2016
visit team members plus Carrie Bridgman gathered Saturday afternoon, March 6,
for team-building activities, reflection, and planning. Pastor Jane,
Benji, and Perry all asked the team members to participate in some reflection
and team-building activities. The group decided to sponsor three vintage
family movie nights in the CHPC back building at 7:00 p.m. on three Fridays in
April: April 1, April 15, and April 29, with film suggestions such as Chitty,
Chitty, Bang Bang,The Love Bug, and Bedknobs and Broomsticks.
Elisabeth, Ben Bridgman, and Cara agreed to spearhead picking and supplying the
movies and acquiring popcorn to sell. The group talked about charging $5
a person to watch and $5 for a bag of popcorn. Also to be arranged are
publicity, set-up and clean-up, and the technology of exactly where we will
show the films and how we will get the equipment/etc. to work. It was
suggested that team members be there between 6:00 and 9:00 p.m. to set up and
clean up. The group of three may meet later.
The group also agreed
to sponsor a Sunday, April 24 after-worship “Food for Thought” with Brian and
Sandi Thomson-Royer, PC(USA) mission co-workers in Guatemala who work
with Presbyterian Women there and whose ministry CHPC financially supports.
After lunch and talk by the couple, the team et al. would meet more privately
with the Thomson-Royers to hear an update/their perspectives on living and
working in Guatemala. Yet to be arranged as to who might cook a soup
and bread meal, set-up and clean-up, publicity, and microphones.
Perry also passed out
contact information for the University of Louisville International Travel
Clinic, which he had visited recently and which he strongly encouraged all team
members to make an appointment with and visit, including for information on how
to avoid contracting the Zika virus. Team leaders also talked up
one-piece bathing suits and long skirts.
The group talked about
gathering a third time, at 6:00 p.m. on Sunday, May 15, at church, possibly
chipping in to pay for pizza.
