Student Response: engaged. great conversations at the tables about "who is Jesus. it was jumped started by a recap of last week's Fields of Faith event. some new faces and some great hearts were there. also walked back into last week's discussion about "our purpose" as a youth ministry. staying with the super hero theme i used a clip from the original superman movie from 1978. there's a great scene near the beginnin where a young clark kent talks with his dad and ponders if its wrong to do things you were made to do. His dad says no, but reminds Clark that he was put on earth for a reason...one that is bigger than scoring touchdowns. was making a tie in that the students have a large purpose too...and wanting to help them to see that their good work for FoF had larger implications.

after a some table talk time about who Jesus is and some scripture to help unpack that we stepped back into a time of worship with adam leading through hillsong's mighty to save...which is quickly becoming the top song to sing. the last chorus was song acapella and there was an energy that i've not seen in a long while.
