The Bridge

Tonight we kicked off our Student Ministry in their very own place tonight. Everything went great. There was a buzz in the building tonight. The band did a great job with Justin, Lloyd, Mandy, Michael, and Jason. We had 14 adult volunteers helping out tonight which was amazing. From 3 weeks ago the Student Ministry has more than doubled which is awesome.

I had issued a challenge for students to bring their friends and they held up their end of the deal. In return, I held up my end of the bargain which was to have X Box 360, an air hockey table identical to the ones in Frankie's fun park, comfortable chairs, and quite possibly the first Student Ministry with its on Chocolate Fountain. And no, the chocolate fountain was not a kid with the runs. We had our own chocolate fountain complete with flowing milk chocolate and fresh strawberries which were completely devoured by the time I made my way over to it.

The chocolate fountain was part of a deal I made with Albert if he brought his friends and he got the word out so I was ready with the chocolate fountain. We consumed around 1 pound of chocolate tonight.

We had students from Palmetto High, Palmetto Middle, Wren High, Wren Middle, TL Hanna, Homeschoolers and McCants. I have been in churches where we only had one or two schools represented so it was cool to see so many schools represented and the areas that our church will have an impact on in reaching students.

A special thanks to all of our volunteers who have worked so hard in getting the building ready for the students.
