A lot can happen in 19 hrs.... WINTER BLAST





Two weekends ago was one of the year's highlights as we hosted "WINTER BLAST," our annual middle school and high school lock-in or minicamp.  In total we had 85 students participate in two nights.  There were 16 leaders being with kids and five church congregations providing food and support.  We flew in an amazing speaker, musician and a gal to do the program and keep us laughing. We made a lot of great memories at the pool, and on the diving board, and a new favorite this year, a photo scavenger hunt downtown.  We also enjoyed playing big club games with balloons, eating snacks, tossing bean bags, and just being together.  Kids also had four opportunities to hear from our speaker about God's great love story and to process what was shared with their friends afterward during cabin times. "It's amazing how much kids can open up in 19 hours," one of our leaders shared.  Winter Blast has become the favorite night of the year for many of our kids. At the end of the event- one of our high school juniors said: "Winter Blast is the best time I have ever had with people."  Thanks for partnering with us as we share God's love.
