Will You Accept Me??

As we are planting the roots of our Youth Ministry Values deep into the hearts of young people right now, I am trying to find ways to get them to take ownership of them. Do things that help them become more concrete. At the end of the series, I will probably have those who are artistically inclined do some art piece for each of our values...Worship - Acceptance - Change - Challenge.

I've got a couple of guys who are pretty handy with the video camera. They've done a few other videos for me ... Savannah City Countdown and Sghetti Dinner. Nick and Jake can do things already at 18 that I hadn't figured out how to do until a little over a year ago. I just hate that they are seniors.

Lesson learned...Utilize your students' gifting and talents early.

This is their latest creation for Acceptance. They were a bit disappointed that it wasn't as "magical" as they had first discussed. But they basically had about two days of school and only a couple of hours to get it together. I PERSONALLY THINK IT ROCKED.

i thought it was cool. I started to wonder if that was the E hall camera...I still don't know! It had a punch, for sure. I think Nick and Jake either had very high expectations, or they can't see the impact at all.
