We have an annual tradition around our high school ministry that started about 5 years ago. I'm not really sure how it started but I am SO glad that it did! We had some amazing leaders on our team, John and Jenny Van't Land, and they proposed that we do a Cheesy Christmas Sweater Night one year for Christmas. I thought it was a great idea, and they were super stoked on it, so we made it happen!
Since then the event has progressively gotten better and better and this year we had our best night by far! John and Jenny visited us from Africa (see video below)! We had some students make a funny announcements video. The catwalk had the steepest competition yet. One of our students, Ciara Mangino, took pictures of the night. We had Christmas treats galore and the night was just one of those nights that reminds me of why I love serving with our leaders and loving on high school students. This year for the message we didn't go to the birth of Christ but talked about the need to be in a discipleship relationship and grow with Christ; the response was amazing!
Here are some of the media elements that we had from the night starting with the Explode announcements:
This was the special welcome from John and Jen
