 At
the beginning of each school year all the high school students
go off-campus to play games and grow in their faith as part of
the "mixer".It's called the "mixer" because students are
randomly put on different teams, and then the teams compete
against each other in games and spirit competitions. Dressing up
outrageously according to team names is part of the mixer
tradition and this year was no exception! Be sure to check out
the photo gallery for a look at some of the crazy outfits! This
year there were 16 teams with names like "America", "Neon",
"Stripe" and "Blue". By the end of the day, team members
definitely knew each other much better!
In addition to playing games, students spent time singing
praise songs and learning about true wisdom from the speaker,
Rip Pratt. Mr. Pratt gave an entertaining and powerful message
that helped everyone better understand what is means to "Fear
the Lord". Groups were given time to talk about how to apply the
message to their lives, and time was also allocated for students
to pray individually.
