Amped All Night

Wow! What a night that was. It was so much fun and excitment. Let me see if I can go over how the night went, and don't forget, click the link to the right for all 365 photos. To the right you can see the Velcro Wall. Its a simple concept, hop into a suit made of velcro, run, jump on a bounce area and then get stuck to the wall. It was awesome, especially when people got stuck! We also had the Bungee Run. Another great concept, we put you in a harness that is attached to the wal by giant bungee cords. You then run at top speed and see how far you can make it before getting snapped back. Many great races took place. There was also the bounce house, and this is a concept I absolutely love. Make a houce out of inflatable walls, flooring, and ceiling. More houses should be built like this! There was an entire upstairs area that had ping-pong, foosball, airhockey, Dance-Dance, High-Definition Gaming, and a chill room. After going crazy for hours on these activties we all got together and played some group games. The first game was cricket spitting. The game goes exatly as it sounds, the winner is the one who can spit the cricket the furthest. And once again a girl won this event, and not only 1 girl, 3 of the girls all beat the boys best distance. I don't know why girls are better than boys at spitting crickets, but that would be a great topic for a research paper. The second game was charades. Various leaders had to act out different clues. I had lots and lots of fun thinking of different clues for the leaders to act out. One of my favorites was Matthew trying to act out "E=Mc²". Yes I know this is a difficult clue, but someone figured it out. Why Matthew is pointing to the lights was a little confusing, sure the "c" stands for the speed of light, but i didnt see the lights moving... The next game was Gorilla, Man, Gun. Everyone played and we whittled it down to just one winning player. The pictures to the right demonstrate how the game is played, that or Lindy is just showing us how buff she really is. We then had a raffle and tossed out tons of prizes! To the left you can see one of the raffle prizes we gave out, it was a shirt from "The Weekend" that we had this year. Mark your calendars for next year, March 8-11th, The Weekend 2007. After tossing out all the prizes, Evan gave a message on the truth. We looked at how God created absolutely everything. And how we all have made poor choices, we all have sinned. And sin seperates us from God. But God wanted this relationship restored so Jesus died on the cross to bridge this gap of seperation. And to restore this relationship all we have to do

is accept this gift from Jesus. And this is exactly happened that night. Over 25 students raised thier hands saying they wanted this restored relationship. It was an honor to hand out Bibles to everyone that made this life-changing decesion. So please keep in prayer everyone that made that decesion, that they can continue to grow in Christ. After this awesome time, it was time for the Night Game. This year we decided to take the night game to the next level. So the game started with a video. A hilarious video if i might add, and the video is located at the end of this post for your viewing pleasure. Everyone then had to solve the mystery and eventually 1 student was the first to solve all 3 mysteries. It was a great game, and a great night. Amped All Night version 2.0 was amazing and i can't wait until next years!!!
