Communication: A Two-Way Street

The theme for Sunday, 9/24/06, was Communication. Before program, had picnic supper in outdoor chapel with MS youth, Christian Adventurers (and ~a billion mosquitos, if my count was anywhere near correct). Also heard pep talk from Barb Munch about CROP Walk (next Sunday). Once assembled in SH room, new advisors Laura Jones and Gair McCullough introduced themselves, and everyone else shared name, school, class, and one thing about themselves. Then discussed what goes into communication (talking, listening, topic, body language, tone, choice of words, relationship, etc.). Volunteers role-played 4 scenes where communication was not effective, and group pointed out problems and suggested fixes. Amazing THESPIANS among us! Also discussed how communication with God is also two-way street, but different from talking with other humans. Thanks to those who shared from the heart. Looking forward to more practice talking and listening with SH's in future!
