Tonight begins a new season of high school football. I am excited about it and pumped to see what our students can do this year. Some of our students are at MSHS and are more excited about this year than ever. Some of our students are at DHS and while it looks like it's going to be a tougher year than last year, I'm sure they are still expecting big things, as they always do. Same goes for our students at CCHS and SHS - new year, new excitement. And whats really cool is that I can go to 3 out of the 4 high schools and watch one of our students play QB.
But it's also the kick off to another FIX Quarter season. This year, we have some great bands. Tomorrow night we will feature Scenic Heights, who just signed with a label. Those of you who went on the April Renovation trip will remember Chase and his band really well. But it doesn't stop there... next week we have Wavorly and in October we have Rush of Fools and new this year a Fall costume party! It's going to be great!
Here's why I wrote about all these... if we just let them come and go without being intentional with inviting and investing in others, they really dont matter. What's the difference between Christian entertainment (I feel stupid even writing that term) and real ministry? Intentionality. We dont do all these things just to give you something to do on a Friday night. You've got enough to do. Let's come and support these events by inviting others to come along with us (bring them with you, dont just say come, say come with) and then following up with them to other things. This is the year to invest in others. If not now, when? Let's go!
