So we had a great weekend of fun with about 35 students last weekend on a ski/snowboard trip up to Kalamazoo, MI. What was great was that many of these kids that went on this trip don't normally get very involved in the church. We were able to develop some good relationships with them and a few of those students helped us tear down after Aftershock last Sunday. It was an awesome time to get to know them a little better.
Our new Wednesday night event titled "The Shock" (any surprises?) started last night. Basically this is taking place of small groups that we have had on Wednesdays since Aftershock started. Small groups were good in that they presented the opportunity to go deeper in discussion for those that showed up, but we found that for some students this is unfortunately intimidating to them and they don't come at all. The Shock is a fun night where we play a bunch of group games that draws a bigger crowd and then, from there, present a quick message and break the kids off into their age groups to discuss answers to questions that we ask based off of that message. We find that this way we draw kids that don't even go to church... which is what we're after.
The following is a video of our "SnowBlast 2008" weekend. Enjoy!
