We had a great time last night with the High School students at the Back to School Kick Off. At the beginning we had some delicious pizza and cold sodas while we enjoyed meeting some new people and getting to know each other a little bit better. Then we played a few games and let the students embarrass themselves a little by putting on some impromptu skits. I'll just say that one of them involved cheese coming out of a can. I'll leave the rest to your imagination.
Following that, Braden Trotter shared with us a little bit about his life and then we headed into the sanctuary to hear from our amazing youth band. It was the first time I have heard them play since I was out of town the week they played at church and I was super impressed by how well they did! Seriously these kids are talented and God sure does shine through them when they lead worship. It was awesome to see the kids worshiping and enjoying the time we got to spend in worship together as a group.
Next we got to see the video we have been working on for a few weeks: Back to School Survival Guide. You can see in on youtube by clicking HERE. It will also be posted to our Videos page of this website soon. The students did a great job making this video. I'm telling you they were pretty good actors for only being amateurs. We had a fun time filming it and it turned out pretty well, if you ask me.
We finished our time with a talk Nick and I put together called: 10 Things We Wish We Would Have Known in High School. I will post those ten things on the blog for you to enjoy as well. Overall we just wanted to communicate some of the things we learned from our experience in and out of high school and hopefully give them some helpful and practical tips to have the best High School experience possible.
Overall we had a really fun night and look forward to the upcoming school year, now that we have officially kicked it off properly.
