No, I am not referring to the Superbowl in February! The Word of Life ministry that our church is taking part in has an event for the Youth in November named "Superbowl". Nope, I don't know exactly why but I know the groups we have taken enjoy the event. Usually it is a basketball game (it has been both pro and college basketball) followed by lots of pizza,games and a speaker that shares the Gospel with the students.
So last Friday, November 9, we headed off to Liberty University for this year's Superbowl. This event was headed up by our new Youth Ministry Team (thanks to Peggy, Bruce, Darrell and Deborah for chaperoning this event!). Our family just went along to enjoy the event and we were able to get the girls back before so late (the rest of the group got home between 1 and 2 am!!)
Remember, I said it is usually a basketball game. Well, this year it was ice hockey. Brent and I had been to a hockey game before but our girls had not. I was a little surprised-both were really interested in what was going on and not scared a bit even when two separate players hit the glass right in front of us (sure am glad that glass was sturdy!)
We even got a chance to catch up with some of our friends who are college students at Liberty. Thanks for coming by to visit with us for a little bit!
After the game, we headed to the student center for the pizza and rally. Our girls were winding down by then, so we headed out around the time the speaker began to talk. We did hear that two of the guests our youth brought chose to believe in Jesus. What awesome news!
We had a great time at Superbowl and enjoyed hanging out with our FMBC youth!
" Let no one look down on your youthfulness,
but rather in speech,
conduct, love, faith and purity,
show yourself an example of those who believe."
1 Timothy 4:12
