Spring Craziness

As the weather finally starts to warm up I just wanted to take a moment and reflect on how fast the last few weeks have flown by and let you know all the things that high school students have been up to:

High School Worship Night: At the end of March we hosted a student worship night and gathered with six other high school ministries to worship the Lord. It was a powerful night full of testimonies, music, and praise. It is truly a remarkable thing to witness around 180 high school students from so many different churches passionately worshipping Christ through song.

Girls Overnighter: We had a bunch of high school girls spend the night in a hotel with many of our young adult female leaders. The night was themed: Unveiled. It was based on 2 Cor. 3:18 and was about seeing ourselves the way that God sees us. And it was a great time of removing lies we believe, heart to heart talks, and girl time!

Guys Overnighter: At the beginning of April the guys met to talk about being a man and “living the dream!” We had a cookout, fierce competition, and an engaging message before breaking into groups and staying the night in some of the guys houses. We gathered again in the morning to do team building activities and hear another message before driving up to Splatter Park and playing paintball! It was a great, fun-filled event!

Serving Saturdays: In March, we partnered with Westerville Parks and Recreation and picked up trash around the pond off Spring Rd., we also walked around the campus of Westerville North High School and picked up litter there as well. In April, we went and did yard work and up keep on DOMA’s Bloom House. This place houses women who are making the transition from being in jail for prostitution to starting a new life.

We have continued with all of our weekly programming as well with the LeaderSHIP class meeting on Sunday mornings, Elevate on Sunday nights, and small groups meeting throughout the week. Please continue to pray for high school students as they wrestle with what it means to follow Jesus and the challenges teenagers face as they live out their faith.
