the LOFT Turn and Burn

We had a great service last night. The game was fun - they had to pick up an ever-shortening cereal box without the use of their hands and without getting on their knees. The game was made more entertaining by the Fruit Loops we passed out to the crowd. :) The winner won an entire box of Trix. The only thing that would of made it even more awesome would have been if we'd played Newsboys "Breakfast in Hell" while it was going on - but I just now thought of that.



Once we got done with the game we did small groups for a bit and I got a chance to snarf down a few Fruit Loops. (mmm... fruity)

After that PR talked about Turning over a new leaf in 2009. We wrote a thing we'd like to change on a small leaf and then sealed it in a self addressed envelope which he'll mail to us later this year. The next portion was Burning a bad habit. He handed out small slips of paper with the edges burnt and we wrote down a habit we'd like to leave in 2008 - then he brough the students down to a small fire I had started just out of the garage door. We all placed our habits in the fire and then sang a worship song - "Fire Fall Down" and while the fire consumed our bad habits we prayed for Holy Spirit power to overcome them and fill us in 2009. It was pretty cool!

Service ended on a high note and a bunch of us went over to MACdonald's for a late night snack. It was a great evening and PR and I are super psyched about what God's going to do in 2009 at theLOFT. We're praying!!
