This morning started off with a wake up rally and then the students could choose from around 10 different equipping sessions. We finished off the morning with a large rally with Joe Kessler as the speaker. Joe spoke at our junior high camp last year and is a lot of fun. He is very good at incorporating comedy in with his speaking, but he ended with a strong challenge to students to find their identity in who God has made them to be.
We had free time this afternoon and took the bus to downtown Chicago.
Our group ate together at Ed Debivic's...an old style diner which is known for how incredibly rude the waiters and waitresses are. Our waitress really wasn't that mean, but the guy waiting on the table behind us was just ripping on the people at his table non-stop...it was awesome.
We returned tonight for another great evening rally. Phil Gwoke spoke again and really challenged the students to become "road warriors" instead of "roadkill". He stressed the importance of keeping connected with others who help keep you strong and keeping on the course that has been set for us. We ended the night by taking communion together as we reflected on the events of Good Friday and Jesus Christ. We had a great day!
