Friday, Late Night Café - 10:30 pm in the Executive West Ballroom"Spin 4 exists to visualize God’s word and allow God to show His love for His people through the art of juggling."
Spin 4 has a desire to incorporate the use of technical ability in juggling to help people better understand the creator of our universe. They consider juggling as all things, an act of worship for the Lord Almighty. Whether juggling to music or the re-telling of Bible stories, Spin 4 has seen God further his kingdom and change the hearts of his people.
We Juggle: We juggle balls, rings, clubs, bats, knives, torches, sickles, and battle maces (twenty-one pound clubs with twenty-one spikes sticking everywhere). Come check out Spin 4 Friday night at the Late Night Café
Saturday, Late Night Café - 10:00 pm in the Executive West Ballroom
Matt Jernigan will grab your attention with some really great song parodies. With just his guitar and amazing impressions of popular singers from Britney Spears to Elvis Presley, from Ricky Martin to Tom Jones, Matt will immediately connect.
"From the start, unfortunately, I saw comedy as simply a way to make a living and not necessarily to honor God, but after experiencing how empty that was, things changed. I'd been a Christian for nearly 20 years, and soon realized that my "walk" wasn't fully devoted to God. Now, my sole purpose is to honor God with the talents He's blessed me with. I see such a need to reach out to non-believers through quality, cutting-edge entertainment. And I feel, as a Christian, it is my responsibility to draw non-believers closer to God by bringing them things they can relate to, and by showing them that Christians are 'real' and love to have fun. Christianity isn't this confining, boring lifestyle-it's exciting and full of joy."
Seminars
Varsity – This seminar will focus on the older youth/young adult. The intended audience will be for those aged 16 and older.Junior Varsity – This U16 (Under age 16) seminar is geared to those in early adolescence.
Both seminars will be one hour in length and will be provided at 1:30 and 3:00 pm on Saturday in the West Hall. Each Seminar – Same Thing – Done Twice
This year’s seminars will be a continued discussion of what is being shared from the main stage. How can each of us practically live the challenge of what we are hearing and experiencing so that the weekend does not end before we get home.
For our Adults we are offering two resourcing discussion times for youth/young adult ministry.
During our seminar times at 1:30 and 3:00 you will gather together with several persons doing youth ministry just like you – Parents, Pastors, Youth Directors, Sunday School Teachers, etc… we will have a facilitator that will direct discussion based on the message of what Lori is sharing from the main stage. How do we practically take the challenge home?
Inflateables
In the main hall 1:30-4:00 pm we will have several inflateable games and climbing wall provided by Astro Events. Astro Events is a company co-owned by John “Chico” Poe, Youth Minister at Elizabethtown Memorial United Methodist. The games will be provided for any person with paid admission.Around Town
