Wake Review for 3/30/08

Wake is our weekly meeting for Junior High students at Watermark. We meet on Sunday mornings at 9:00am on the 4th floor of the Watemark Tower. Here is my assessment of this week's Wake.

This was the week we made the big switch from the 11am service to the 9am service. We worked really hard to make it extra fun for all those Junior Highers who had to arrive 2 hours earlier than normal. First, we came in early and hooked up three griddles and made hundreds of pancakes (with and without chocolate chips). We also had juice boxes, donuts, pigs in a blanket, and coffee for everyone. Next, we picked up an extra couch and chair and created an all-new "Guest Suite" for visitors. We stocked the "Guest Suite" with energy drinks, candy bars, CDs, and cool new t-shirts that say "Your Mom Goes to 9 o'Clock Service".

After a fun game and some rockin' worship songs, we showed a highlight video from DTown (See Below) and enjoyed an interruption from my personal favorite skit character, "The Interrupter". After some more worship, Braun Brown shared a great message with our kids from Acts 16 about how our lives can sing in the midst of hard times.
