The gloom continued to stay cool to the 25 PAX that came out including 2 FNG’s on this Friday morning at Cletus. We went over the disclaimer, got in a single file line like a train, counted off 1’s & 2’s then shot off like Amtrak for some fun.

Closing verse: Ephesians 6:10-15
The Whole Armor of God
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Circle of Man for closing prayer. Banana Seat took us out.

My goal is to always challenge each member with keeping their heart rate pumping for the entire workout. Do what your body will allow without stopping the movement. Great work to those that came out today. I hope we continue to grow and support each other in this life’s journey. Gracious to lead the PAX today. Keep up the momentum!
