The PFC Youth Winter Lock In was a great success! With over 180 youth attending, from Parsons area to Emporia and over 20 adult chaperones - it was an amazing event for all!
From tacos to pizza to biscuits and gravy, from coca cola to pepsi, dr pepper to mountain dew, slim jims, chips, cotton candy, hot pockets and ice cream - enough food to send anyone to porcelain throne a hurling!
Activities included all the gaming systems one could try their hand at. Bungee run, jousting and boxing were a major hit too. Balloon art, computers, karaoke, movies, crafts and contests kept many entertained as well. Sports seemed to be a great choice for the competitors both youth and adults.
Its been said it takes a village to raise a child, I would add that it also takes a village to put on an amazing, entertaining, food-packed, memorable youth lock in!!
Kudos to all who volunteered their talents and time- whether you spent a few hours or pulled an all nighter Thank you to the parents for allowing us to be a part of your youths world for one night, giving them a positive opportunity to interact with their peers in an all night fashion. Thank you Pastor Steve for allowing us to come and take over the church for the night! And let's not forget Pastor Barry and his rockin' clean up crew, who came in after us and restored all things back to new!
My personal shout out (and I'm sure many will agree) goes to Pastor David Keaton, what an encouraging, energetic, exciting, and entertaining Youth Pastor you are!! And let's not forget your comrades, such as Pastor Greg, Pastor Tricia and many others who came together to create a FANTABULOUS lock in!!
Peace- and I'm already looking forward to the next opportunity!!!
