I helped with planning a church-wide trip to the Great Smokey Mountains.
This week Pastor was telling me about this church-wide trip they take every year to the Great Smokey Mountains. He said they use vans and other personal vehicles to get there. The trip is about $175 per person. He was working on planning the trip, but also the services and whatever else goes on. We talked a little about the order of events and times/schedules, etc. I learned a lot because I have never heard of an entire church being invited to do something like this. I asked how else I could help and he said t-shirt design. I was confused, so he explained that they need team shirts so people can remember what a awesome weekend it was and how God changed their lives. I don’t know anything about that stuff, but I know some guys who do. Some of you know him, Ben Keffer, lives on my floor and is great when it comes to stuff like that. I told him what definitely needs to go on it and the style/age range we are looking for in a design. He came through and I needed to design a bill and take care of the money for him from the church. As a result of this practicum experience I learned more about planning; not just trips, but church events in general.
