Post Game Review!

by Pastor Nick

Post Game is now a few weeks removed but what a great night it was. Over 200 students and leaders landed at the Student Ministry Center at Grace to hang out, have fun, & discovered more about who we are at Grace.

I arrived at 1pm to discover 6 people already working tirelessly to set up. There were 7 of us who worked from 1pm until well after 1am to make this a sweet event. What did we do?

• Set up the Karaoke station
• Put down the thousands of proverbs on the floor for confetti decorations
• Set up the lighting
• Helped the band do sound checks
• Displayed the prizes
• Blew up hundreds of balloons for the mezzanine
  
• Turned on all the gaming stations
• Put the hoops down in the gym for basketball
• Set up the tunnel entrance for the SMC
• Got the sumo wrestling ready to roll
• Organized the registration
• Prepared the food (and oh was there some food)
• Prayed together for the evening

All of that because we wanted to see students bring their friends and find a place to connect together. In total over 100 people came who were not on our roster of 300 high school students at Grace. That translated means 100 people who had never been to Grace before visited our facility. They had a great time, watched a nice band The Colission, & heard me share about how our lives have been changed by knowing Jesus Christ.

So that's it, right? It ended at midnight or a little after...we just had a party? No, it didn't really end then. Actually on Sunday we saw a number of visitors return for our HSM service and 2 students made first time decisions to follow Jesus Christ!

Praise God for His faithfulness & thanks for praying. Post Game 2009 was a great success!
