It is certainly clear that we are nearing the end of Friday Night Flood for this season. In many ways.
For starters, for the second week in a row, we have had zero new students in attendance. Second, students really are either catching on to our behavioral principals we ask them to follow, or the ones who don’t want to have decided to spend their Friday evenings elsewhere. Third, our adult leaders just don’ seem to have the time or energy to spend together after FNF at Perkins debriefing and hanging out. Yep, things are definitely winding down.
Anyway, tonight went quite smoothly. We had a return of our big Assault event (see this post for details on what Assault is) which was well-received (video will be up early next week). One of our students shared our message of Truth tonight based around music, fire, the soul and Jesus. It was a bit rambling at points, due in large part to the fact that he left his outline in my basement this afternoon. But in the end he was able to get his point across, and it opened up a nice segue for me into our moment of silence and rest that I like to include in our evenings.
It was a good evening relationship-wise. Lots of opportunities to work on existing ones. Plenty of chances to build new ones with students who we didn’t have existing relationships with. Unfortunately for me, some of the programming elements got in the way of some of those conversations tonight. A good one, but it could have been so much better.
