(our football crew)
_The Theme: The Holy Spirit marks us (our arms were covered in words that displayed how the Holy Spirit marks us … like holiness, salvation, included, etc.), The Holy Spirit transforms us (we wrote on our hands: lead me, guide me, speak to and through me and use me) and the Holy Spirit uses me (we talked about the 10 commandments of discipleship).
_The Worship: It was a blast to sing with the group. Everyone, shouting and singing, was such a great blessing to me. I love watching the group celebrate Jesus as Lord.
_The Break Out Sessions: There were groups about dating, sex, marriage, reading the scriptures, prayer, difficult questions, open conversation … and the response to those groups was awesome.
_The Decisions: So great to see those that “have it in them to lead” actually step up and lead! Many BOLD decisions this weekend about moving forward, making disciples, remaining faithful, studying the Word, discovering our gifts and using them for the kingdom. Love it!
_The Relationships: Our phrase of the weekend was “that’s not how we do things around here”. One of the things we didn’t do is exclude anyone. It was cool to see new friendships develop and old ones grow more intimate.
_The Challenge: We are marked, transformed and used by the Holy Spirit so now it’s time live that out. That’s our prayer for everyone involved. There will be some specific ways that happens laid out for our youth over the next few weeks.
_The Result: Sweet!! Amazing! Let’s do this again next year!
