| From 11.19.08 – Night of 1000 Thanks |
Tonight at Army 6:12 (our youth group) we held an event called “Night of 1000 Thanks”. I challenged students to give thanks (1000-thanks) by writing things, people, etc., that they are thankful for on 1000 post-its and place on or around a cross on our stage in the youth room.
This is the third time that I’ve done this event and it was just as powerful tonight as the other two times. The image of 1000 post-its stuck to the cross with words and phrases of students’-thanks is one that is burned into my brain probably forever. I love it.
We followed the giving thanks time by participating in Communion together and then closed in a circle of prayer. It was a great night – a night that I will be talking about for a few weeks I’m sure.
Nights like this really make me proud and excited to be in youth ministry!
We also showed this video tonight to intro “what Thanksgiving is all about”!
Full photoset of the night is here. Hopefully a highlight video will be coming soon!
More than cool Stevan! I may steal a picture for a project…I’ll show you soon :)
Hey Stevan,we did the same thing, thanks to you, an amazing night – thanks for the idea – and thanks for being my friend and letting borrow your amazing brain. I will have pics on my blog soon!!!
