We're Off to See the Wizard

What does the Cha Cha slide,

Dance Dance Revolution,

and "tooty ta ta"have to do with New Years Eve?

They were all part of the 2nd annual Deep Youth New Years Lock-in!

We did a New Years Eve lock-in for all the students who helped out with the Hands and Feet Mission. It was intense, but so worth it. Very few problems! We played tons of games, ate junk food, and finally split the boys and girls around 3:30 am.

Thankfully we had the help of JV & MV!

After:

At 7:34 on January 1, 2009 I walk into the front of our church. Sweet K, Hubs, and JV are sprawled out on pews and the floor. They laugh as I wearily approach them. All I could say was, "They are still awake. They didn't even sleep a little." Then I began to list what the 7 girls (ages 10-14) did for the past 4 hrs.

Pedicures - Manicures (Accompanied with a back and hand massage!)
Created skits to various songs

The card game speed

Bounced on chairs

"What would Jesus do" card game, (Although their answers typically frightened me...)

A reenactment of the Wizard of Oz, (Including the sound effects and the munchkin scene)

Hubs and I slept around 12hrs last night. I slept 9 to 9...

Oh the joys of youth pastoring... wouldn't trade it for anything.
