The truck is loaded with about a zillion tents. Kim spent the day organizing the messy games. Parents are ringing our phones off the hook.
It’s time for a Welcome Weekend!
We started this XStream tradition years ago as a way to make sure incoming 6th graders connected with older students right off the bat. We buddy-up an older student with a 6th grader. They’ll spend some time praying and playing together over the weekend. That way, when the new student walks into the room next Wednesday, she or he will be greeted by a familiar face, have someone to sit with, and have a friend to show her/him the ropes.
This weekend will be full of super-sloppy messy games, very little sleep (60 people in tents!) and the beginning of some great relationships. We’ve got some new leaders to add to the team, and I am excited about what God is going to do in the lives of so many young people!
I hate being messy, so say a prayer for me. 🙂 Seriously, this is a going to be a great start to a great year.
