InterMission and Lock-In Update


The InterMission Night provided a great opportunity for youth and adults from in and around Rochester to worship with the band SONAR. Fr. Tom Melvin gave a great talk and we all had a chance to spend time in Adoration to end the evening. It was a blessed and spirit filled time for all!

 
After InterMission we moved over to the Pax Christ Youth Center where we began our Above All Lock-In. Zach Rawson, Pax Christi Youth Minister, gave a funny and inspirational talk about using the gifts God has given each of us and putting him first and above all.

There was a photo opportunity to win a prize for most creative photo—using our space theme for inspiration.  Lots of great photos!  Congrats to our winning duo!  (See below.)

Most Creative Photo Contest Winners!
 Trivia and dance lessons came next.  We filled the gym with volunteers willing to try out some new dance moves.



The youth enjoyed pizza and snacks in the church and later moved on to our service projects.  We filled over 100 ditty bags for the local women’s shelter.  We also built bikes for local children in need to enjoy this summer.  The PET (Personal Energy Transportation) was there once again and teens had the chance to test out this mode of transportation and learn a little bit about who this might benefit.


Inflatable jousting, sumo suits and relay races were available after midnight along with a showing of STAR WARS.  We ended the night handing out door prizes several winners.









A GREAT time was had by all who participated.  A BIG thank you goes out to all our volunteers, chaperones, youth ministers and Pax Christi for hosting the event.
