h2o live - Wed. night

Last night was the last of our "Thr3e Big Nights" at h2o.  We concluded with and Xtreme Txt game.  We put together a list of questions from pop culture to biblical to everyday life put the question up on the screen and the first student to text in the right answer was called up on stage.  We did 6 questions, then did a simi-final round with those 6 to narrow it down to 3 and a final question for those 3.  It was a lot of fun and the students loved being able to text during church.

Our worship band did a great job after the Xtreme txt game of focusing our students on Christ through song and the Rob preached on Standing in your Christian Walk.  He challenged students to stand strong in life even though it's very difficult.  He talked about how God is pleased when we stand for Him.  It was a powerful word that ministered to students.

I enjoyed talking with several of our students on a deeper level last night one on one.  I had a goal of just focusing on one student at a time last night and hearing what is going on in their lives.  I must say it was one of the more meaningful nights for me personally at h2o.  I think it's because I took time to listen intently to one student at a time and not be in the constant Student Pastor rush of talking to everyone and impacting no one.  Times like last night remind me why I do Student Ministry.
