Element HS Fall Welcome Night

This past Friday we kicked off the fall semester with our annual Element Fall Welcome Night!

We opened up the night with a skit exploring the theme of identity, and how people wear masks to fit in with different people and situations. After that, our student-led band performed the special song "This is Home" by Switchfoot, which describes how we can only find true acceptance and belonging with God.

Afterwards, Ben gave a message on the healing of the invalid at the Pool of Bethesda.

Then we grouped up by class and played a rousing group game of The Price is Right, with hilarious results--especially when we played guys vs. girls. After that, we spent the rest of the night eating snacks, playing boardgames/volleyball/ping-pong, and doing some serious dancing at our music video booth!

Here are some pics of the night:

My name is...faithful (?)

Ask a group of guys: how much does eyeshadow cost?
"TOO MUCH $$$!"

We had an abundance of props for our music video booth--so many that people weren't sure what to do with all of them! Most of the dances ended up looking like a clash of civilizations...

See you next time at Element!
