SO as you know I have been working at Briarwood Presbyterian Church all summer as the intern for the Youth ministry. This has been my third summer to work at Bwood and so I have come to feel pretty comfortable not only with the office and the people and how things run but even the events. But there is one event I have never taken part of... and that is Impact Weekend.
Impact weekend is a 3 day in town retreat for 200 of Bwood's high school students to get together and stay in host homes, listen to an awesome band and speakers, play silly games, and worship before they run off back to school.
yes I said 200 high school students. My responsibilities for this weekend included decorating the Mountain View Building, helping with a skit and... o yea figure out how to feed 200 high school students for 3 days on a budget. No big deal. The Sam's Club run we made for this event was more epic than words could describe so I'll let pictures explain it. And the picture with the drinks are just 1/10 of the drinks we consumed this weekend.
The building got decorated with the help of tons of the rising ninth grade girls I've gotten so attached to all summer! This banner we made was hung in a back room and was under black light. We let students sign it and it wound up being a very cool part of the weekend.
I stayed in a host home with the sweet nineth grade girls! i love them so much! we had great discussion and spent a lot of fun time together! Im really going to miss them!
The building got decorated, the kids got fed and the speaker and band were great. All worked out great bc of the Lord's goodness, faithfulness and perfect provision.
1I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship. 2 Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
